WoW!!! U got me!! Is there ANY way to blow that picture up???
I wanna say it's a VHT, but I'm not sure.....

I just typed in 'Don Wilson amplifier' in the search engine and came up with this. http://www.canopusdrums.com/en/otherpro ... index.html
However the amp pictured above doesn't look quite the same as in the link.

That was really great have the Ventures inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Why did it take so long?

Since I did not see it when it was televised, I'm assuming that Bob Bogel wasn't present for the induction ceremony? Although Bob Spaulding is considered one of the Ventures, I just never associate him as a member, but more as a backup player. At least Gerry McGee has been around and been a major part of the band.

Danny,
The more I looked at the pic on the Canopus Website, I think it IS a Canopus.
It must be a DIFFERENT Model than a "Don Wilson Model," but the Logo Badges
(on the Amp Head and on the Spkr Cab) DO LOOK SIMILAR to the Logo Badges
that were on the White Amp for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Show......

Believe it or not that is the new Eddie Van Halen EVH amp made by Fender ! Its sort of weird seeing Don use a very high gain amp like that but I here it has a nice clean channel . I believe theres some info on it at the Fender website.
