https://www.vintageguitar.com/31792/the-watkins-dominator/

The V-front Watkins Dominator is the stuff of legend, and a very rare and collectable amp nowadays. Although it’s 17 watts precluded it being used on-stage by the main protagonists in the “beat boom” of the 1960s, just about every famous British guitarist either used one or coveted one in the days before they were famous. An icon!
