The 1396 amp was the top of the Silvertone line, providing players  a cool looking and capable sounding amp as rock and roll took hold. 50 watts, a good Bo Diddley tremolo circuit, and two channels with separate bass/treble/volume for each, and six inputs! And, the catalog reminded us at every turn about the push-pull parallel amp circuitry. Gee, they even gave it a name! The 'Two Twelve' has "Enough volume for any occasion."
