The 1466 was the most powerful Silvertone bass amp Sears ever made available. Six 10" speakers, and 150 clean, transistorized watts. No effects to speak of, but 'that was the style at the time,' as Grandpa Simpson would say. You could hide behind the cabinet if the crowd got rowdy; it's was nearly 40 inches tall with the amp on top!
