Cortez (the killer) - :D

As far as I've found out, it's a 1/2 watter - but it rocks with an ext cab!

Anyone know anything else about these Cortez amps?

Scroll down to the second video :

This is the only thing I can find on it. It's got a line out
and just 1 volume knob. Tone has to be in the fingers. :wink:

I found it hiding under a Fender Frontline 50th Anniversary issue at a yard sale - I scooped both for less than a cup o' joe.

That's awesome, I could really use a tiny amp like that. I had one years ago that had a belt clip which came in handy a few times.

my wish list has an orange jim root #4 sig head with matching cab. 15 watts. i'm very curious.
