| THE BLACK CAT JB-2000 THE LINEAR ME AND BILL HOWELL LOOKED FOR FOR YEARS. IT WAS BILLY AND MY HOLY GRAIL TO FIND A JB-2000. BACK IN THE "70'S,WE WOUID LISTEN TO THE BIG GUNS DOWN IN THE CITY WHO RAN THESE THINGS, THE C.B VERSION OF THE JB-2000 WAS BASICLY A REAL TACKY VERSION OF THE HEATHKIT"SB-220"AMPLIFIER,WITH A TUBE MODULATOR FOR A DRIVER. DURING THE "70'S,WHEN I LIVED IN A SLEEPY LITTLE BURG,JUST NORTH OF THE ROCKAWAY TOWNSQUARE MALL CALLED MT HOPE,THE PLACE TO FIND ALL THE BIG GUNS ON C.B,WAS THE OLD 22A CHANNEL(NOW CHANNEL 24) YOU WOUID LISTEN TO SOME GUY WITH A "JB" ON STAND BY "IM GONNA TURN ON THE BLACK CAT" THEN CAME A BAT HANDLE SWITCH KLUNK,AND HIS 3 S-UNIT SIGNAL WENT TO A S-4,...............WOW,BIG DEAL......TILL THE GUY STARTED TALKING AND HIS S-4 SWUNG TO 15 OR 20 DB ON THE PEAKS THIS AMP USED 2 3-500Z'S WITH A"6AU7" DRIVER TUBE, AND THE AMP IN THE PICTURE SOLD ON E-BAY FOR ABOUT 400 BUCKS.
