Comments: The Showman 12, Showman 15, and Double Showman all used the same head with the only difference being the size and speakers of the the speaker cabinet. Maroon grilled Double Showmans exist, but are very rare. The harmonic vibrato tremolo circuit left half a dual triode (7025 or 12AX7) unused.
