Trying to find out more info on two little blasts from the past, one I used to have and one I only heard about...or think I did.
The first was the Guitar Buddy. This was a little plastic box with a clock-radio speaker that ran on C-cells. My memory is that it actually had a nice nasty fuzztone when dimed. I wouldn't mind picking one up for nostalgia.
It was my first amp. I can find zero about this on the web, as though nobody else ever had one or they all vanished. Any of you folks have one too?
The other is the gas can amp. A solid state amp housed in a plastic jerrycan. I think St Louis Music made these before they came out with the original Crate amp. Or could I have seen a picture of somebody's homebrew one-off and mixed up my stories?
