BTW, they made a BIGGER version of this, with 2 hinged, swing out "wings", giving you 16-10" speakers. If you are looking for a little "club" amp, this wouldn't suit your needs, LOL, if you are looking for a "MONSTER", this is IT. Lastly, it has 3 HEAVY-DUTY handles (one on each side and one on the rear) and 2 HEAVY-DUTY wheels. Kasino is pretty sweet imo, but its an orange crush combo amp, and I wanted to know if I could run it through the Kasino head, using the crush to set the master tone or if it would mess something up on my head, I can use the crush by itself with my cabs but I can only get mono instead of stereo by doing that lutherthegrinch 1 yr.

After only using it on 3 club gigs in '78 (before that I just played around with it a little in the house, on LOW), it proved impractical to me, so I preferred lugging my much lighter Fender TWIN (yes, MUCH lighter, LOL). TRULY meant for a stadium or large stage and could "stand alone" (un-mic'd) if need be, YES. Bought on "impulse" in 1971 because of the intense POWER and CLARITY, and was blown away. MINT condition w/HEAVY DUTY "Tolex" cover. A VERY rare"Vintage" KASINO (made by Kustom) 802 (200W) Guitar Amp from 1971.
