Didn't Grand Funk Railroad use Earth amps?

Grand Funk used West amps.

Grand Funk used West amps.

You're right. Thanks.

You're thinking of West amps.

Did you use a time machine to find the coil cord?

Coiled cord by Vox. Long enough that I can wander around on stage...and the coil keeps it off the floor so I don't trip over it. At my age, tripping over anything guarantees a snapped femur or broken hip.

I love coil cords. Haven't used one since 1969. Might again.

Yes you're correct. While the Earth amps look like Peaveys of that era, the West amps look a lot like Sunn tube amps.

The coil is nice and I really like that one end is 90 degrees. They're really solid... I've got several and none have failed me yet.

Whoa! That’s unbelievable! No wonder Peavey was, er, peeved!

Peaved.

Yeah, I was a little taken aback myself. I'd hear of Earth amps but I didn't know they were so blatantly ripping off the boy from Meridien...

No - they used West Amps and cabs.
