Some earlier poster reminded me to drag out an old Polytone (recommended for 6-string by Johnny Gimble) and try it with steel. At first I found that it really wouldn't cut it, but then Brad's Black Box was placed in line right after the steel and that made a great difference. Still not on par with a big Peavey, SS, Rev, ect., but not bad in the back room at the house.

My long departed buddy, Buddy Johnson could really make that Zumsteel Randall Palmore has now, sing thru an 8" Polytone. He tryed to sell me one every time I went in the music store where he worked.

I play an old D-10 push/pull. Ever since I stumbled across a used Polytone Minibrute II, the Peavey LTD 400 with its D-130 has been relegated to backup duty. That was over 30 years ago.

I hade the Polytone 102 model with a single 12 and two 8" speakers and it was supposed to be stereo but sounded better with the mono switch. I also had the Mini Brute II and playing a 335 type guitar sounded very nice with either of these amps.
