A bit impractical for "tactical deployments" (at least in my situation) but it's pretty......no doubt about that.

Mazel tov and welcome to the forum!

Nothing a D2F cover couldn't help solve. Like the paint job!

BTW, the matt black faceplate on this 1976 SF Twin is very unusual with that funny lettering.

1976/77: the first years of the ultralinear transformer, 135W RMS and that infamous pull-out boost pot. Definitely the mid-1970s are undoubtedly the worst period in Fender's history.

Interesting Faceplate. One thing for sure, the amp it will stand out on stage. Glad to see they didn't remove the Master Volume.

Rock On...........
