I think someone's a little confused......

Ah, another good Craigslist add.

This is from a listing for an Acoustic Control 150b amp:
Quote
Acoustic Control Corporation 150b solid-state bass head. 125W, two channel input, 2ohm output.

The amp is pretty simple. Two channels, each with a low and high gain input. Potentiometer control for Volume, Treble, Bass. Brightness switch. Two mono speaker outputs @ 2ohms, 1 "booster output." On/ off switch, LED, and ground reverse. While the amp is grounded the reverse switch does not work.

Everything else in working order and the condition is ok considering this amp is pushing 40. It's super loud, the tone polished, and it works well for guitar or bass.

A little history: Acoustic Control Corporation was started by the two brothers in The Kingsmen (Louie, Louie) when they discovered their recording amps were not loud enough to play the clubs they toured through. The company was one of only a few producing high-powered amplifiers for the heyday of classic rock along with Fender, Sunn, and Ampeg in the US; Vox and Marshall in the UK. See the links provided for more details.

Funny but kind of embarrassing at the same time.
