It looks like an Atari console. Maybe you could play space invaders on it.

My old '68 Sears 40XL (Model 1422) was fairly ugly, but man, what she lacked in looks was more than made up for in tone!! If I didn't start building my own, I would still have'er in the stable.
Got really good $$ for it on ebay a few years back, during the 18w craze. It was the last model by Sears/Silvertone that was tube. Later versions ('69, I think) looked the same, but were SS.

http://www.broadwaymusicco.com/kustom11.htm Ebay took the picture down but this webpage has some Kasino history. Kustom did not want their new line to be associated with a "rock" style amp. I think they achieved their goal. I get a mental image of a back up band sporting matching leisure suits playing in a Holiday Inn, or Johnny Moodring's (comedian Bill Murrary) Catskills tour.

Jordan amps rank pretty high too http://compare.ebay.com/like/1207020479 ... GUID=78855

Ol' Johnny Fogertys' "go to" amp for years was a Kustom 200.
Similiar to a Tweed Twin, they say...

Re: ugliest amp award?
I swear when I saw ZZ Top in my small home town in the early 70's, Billy and Dusty had two tuck and rolled amps.
They were in gold sparkly vinyl and had steer horns (of course) mounted on top of each head.
I've never seen them mentioned anywhere and I don't know if it was a rented backline but some how I doubt it because of the horns.
They had to have been Kustom amps as that is the only ones I ever saw that looked like bass boat seats.
The would have been right after Rio Grande Mud came out.

A local Hank III tribute band in my area uses nothing but old Kustom amps even the PA columns and Mixer. It is kool to see the stage setup.
Reminds me of my Plush 100 in blue metal flake and three 15 inch bottom.

Yes I have played through an Earth amp at a local guitar shop many years ago.
