I have an old amplifier that has been in my possession for some time now and have now deicided to research it a little bit as I am now curious to learn more. It is an old Alamo amp I was given a few years ago. I'm ot too familiar with the company, does anyone have any info on them? Any help would be appreciated.

Brian Henneman of The Bottlerockets is a bigtime Alamo player and collector. I played through a 2-12 model a few times-Killer tremolo and a pretty good-sounding tube amp. My first amp was a small SS Alamo with a single volume knob and a 8" speaker-it was awful.

Sounds similiar to mine, though I must confess I have not been able to identify the model yet. It needs a little work done and then it will be in better shape.

I finally got around to getting into the amp and looking at parts. It has 2 RCA tubes in it and appears to be an Alamo Titan.
