Or was that in the 80s?
You name the decade. ;-)
Bongiorno had a gift for clever names. GAS's first product, the Ampzilla power amp, was followed by Son of Ampzilla (smaller and less watts) and Grandson of Ampzilla (even smaller, even less watts). Top o' the GAS line was the exceedingly rare 1 kilowatt (into 2 ohms) Godzilla. Only a couple of dozen were made and all of those may have wound up in the Grateful Dead's backline. I saw a Godzilla on silent display at a hi fi show in Washington DC around 1975; my memory is that it needed a 220 volt AC line like a big window air conditioner. GAS' moving coil phono cartridge was named "The Sleeping Beauty."
...a Thalia, and a Sumo II.

It is in my son's possession, but he doesn't have it, or anything else, in service.
When he was with Sumo.
Actually, from what I remember, Bongo started working on Charlie when he was GAS, it just never came to be. He was also going to build a rack and call it the GAS Station. At least that's what he was claiming at the time.
I like the look too.
I wish I could get into a time machine and go back to the '70s. Disco aside, I loved those days.
