I'm looking at a Gretsch Expander G amp and can't seem to find any info on it. If anyone has any experience or knows anything about this amp please help me out.

Not much info, Valco made amps for Gretch

Looks like the Expander G Came later when Gretch sold to Baldwin in 67 Valco went out of business in 68.

So any Gretch amp made after 68 is said to probably come from Premier or Multivox.

2 companys are mentioned to build gretch reverbs =
OC electronics or GSM

Kustom at one point was owned by Baldwin as well so the amp might be related to kustom.

Do you own the amp or looking to buy? if you own one already what is wrong with it?

Looking to buy it. I just couldn't find anything on it. It just caught my eye.

Not to much really. I'm going to check it out on Saturday. 1970's GRETSCH amp head with controfuzz built in! If it all works and I like it I may pick it up for some fun at home. That is if I can get it for the right price.
