1968 Dual Showman Description...LOL
I just read this on the AMPWARES website. It is from a 1968 Fender Catalog describing the new Dual Showman Reverb. I found the description rather humorous...
"Fender adds ear splitting REVERB as a powerful new dimension to the famous Dual Showman and blasts it's way to center stage. The "piggy-back"unit features two 15" J. B. Lansing speakers in a column which project unexcelled briiiance of tone over a large area. No band can afford to be without Fender's all new Dual Showman/Reverb, it's a gas." In the words of Homer Simpson: "mmmm...ear splitting reeeeeverb." It's a gas indeed! Fret

I always liked "Snowblind Friend" from that album...
"You say it was this morning, when you last saw your good friend......" Edited to add: After looking up the lyrics, I just found out that it's actually a Hoyt Axton tune - I never knew that! Hoyt RULZ! 8)

Yes ...
Had one in the mid 70's, sure it had "ear splitting reverb" but unfortunately it also had "gut busting" mobility and "wrist wrenching" weight !
Mind you, it was great to look behind you and see it standing next to the 4X12 Bassman, i used to feel like Don Rich !

Ya,... It's kinda like taking the refrigerator to a gig... mine stays home.
I also have a 67 2x12 bandmaster cab (the smaller one) w/ JBL's that I use with the DSR head... but I usually play through a BFSR.
