What do you know about Oliver amps?

Here's my B120 head. It started life as a 1x15 combo. It was huge! I had the head portion taken out and rehoused. I love it. I've been playing it at ever low volume gig for 10 years now. I pair it with an Aguilar GS2x10.

for trivia buffs: Back in the 1970s the Berklee College of Music had Oliver tube amps in all of their ensemble practice rooms.

They sounded like ass.

Sometime between 1979 and 1986 they replaced all the Olivers with Yamahas.
