    Dang, I can't recall having ever seen anything like it. What does the back &/or inside reveal?

    Kind of looks like the Japanese made solid state amps.

    Looks like a bastardized Bandmaster

    Like CoyotesGator, I think it looks like the "Fender" amps being peddled in the far east in the late 60's.

    Labeling / printing on back or inside? For general age, are there tubes and/or tube sockets, vs transistors back there? If tubes, what language is the lettering on them? Normal plug on power cord or grounded? US plug or European plug? Specify 50 or 60 "cycles"? 120 v. or 240v.? My old Twin Reverb has a power transformer that can handle either, for export -- a big part of its weight problem!! The back should be stamped one or the other voltage,and Hz., telling you where it was set up to be sold. Most Fender amps of older vintage had a tube identification label on the inside -- can sometimes deduce something from info on the label.

    The knob configuration looks just like one the Beach Boys used in the 60's. I have been trying to find the Fender head they had and none of the knob configurations matched up.
