Amplifier and Boots

(CLICK TO ENLARGE) Calm winds and balmy temperatures on Feb. 25 again allowed the preachers to make good use of their Fender-made “The Amp Can.” The amplifier, which points south toward the residential homes on 8th Street, can run on AC power or the internal rechargeable battery. The amp features a six-inch diameter, 4 ohm, 30 watt speaker backed by 15 watts of power. Fender says “The Amp Can” is 8.75" high, 7.75” wide and weighs 13 pounds. The list price is $249.99, but the street price is closer to $150. (Copyright © 2006. David Klavitter)
