Those usually only run about 25 watts. They were mostly used by accordion players and re-purposed for guitar or harmonica players. If you really want to go old school and sound exactly like the old Cajun players back in the dance hall era you've got to get your hands on a Super Reverb, Dual Showman, or Bandmaster reverb...and of course a pair of Shure crystal mics set up on the treble side.
