A vintage Mann amplifier, built by Garnet Amplification in Canada. Mann amps are part of what's known as Garnet "stencil" amps, which means that they're essentially identical to other amplifiers that bear the Garnet name. The company produced many other "stencil" amps in their heyday, including the second Lab Series for Gibson, Eaton amps for the Canadian retailer of the same name, Hohner, and a slew of others.
