Rory used these between 1971 and 1973 (Ground Guitar, 2022). On stage, they would be stacked on top of each other. This German-made unit was one of the various brands Rory experimented with for live work. There is footage of Rory using them for an appearance on German TV's Beat-Club, 1971.
Stramp amps were used by guitarists like Rory Gallagher and Leslie West and bassists such as John Entwistle, Jack Bruce and Gerry McAvoy. All made in Germany, Stramp amps remain scarce to this day.
