Overview This is a circa-1965 Selmer Zodiac Twin Thirty 2×12 combo amplifier featuring the distinctive mock crocodile "snake skin" covering. It is equipped with two Celestion G12M Greenback speakers (non-original) and features the proprietary "Truvoice" push-button tone selection system alongside built-in tremolo.
