Here’s a sideways Gibson for #gibsunday. It’s a 1965 Kalamazoo Model Two Tube Amplifier! - Gibson and its various parent companies have used the Kalamazoo brand several times over the decades; one of the best known was as the mid-1960s budget electric line from Chicago Musical Instruments (CMI), Gibsons parent company. These little practice/student amps appear with two model designations, Model One and Model Two, the latter having the addition of an onboard tremolo effect. This model thus features a dedicated speed knob (the depth was fixed) in addition to the two "loudness" and tone controls. These two circuits were also at one point featured in the Gibson-branded Skylark GA-5 and GA-5T, respectively (not to be confused with the earlier Les Paul-amp adjacent GA-5, which is basically Gibson's take on a Fender Champ).
