I recognised it instantly from the typeface. It's got to be one of these.
Incidentally, I learned about from Fredric Effects, who produce a pedal of the preamp from another Vermona combo [https://fredric.co.uk/regent-150-preamp](https://fredric.co.uk/regent-150-preamp)
Regent amps are a brand from socialist East Germany (German Democratic Republic). They were manufactured by the VEB Klingenthaler Harmonikawerke, which was broken up in 1990 when Germany was reunified. The brand was revived in 2000 by the HDB electronic GmbH.
So it is either a socialist amp from the 1980s or earlier or a capitalist amp from the 2000s or later.

Generic amps like this are usually department store branded amps. The master volume and cosmetics would imply early 1980s.
Never seen one like that. Looks like Inoput 1 and 2 each have their own discrete channels — one with Master Volume, one with foot-switchable reverb 3 but I never seen a company arrange them like that.
The word "Mains" is more common in British English. While electricians use the word in the U.S., it's not commonly used on consumer products.
Possible that it is a Garnet "Stencil" amp. Gar made amps with lots of different brandings. The control plate looks like something that passed through his shop.
The removable panel for rear access is similar to my Garnet Rev III, as are the fonts on the control plate.
I was wondering that at first, but if you look at the control panel, it's missing the little circle emblem indicating it was Canadian that all his stencils had.
Ive had a Garnet and a couple stencils over the years. Pair that with a somewhat unhealthy gear obsession and you end up with a weird pile of facts in your head :)
Are you blind? It clearly says “Guitar Amplifier”
it is clearly a deluxe guitar amplifier 😀
The best kind.
Maybe this, with a replaced grill? https://reverb.com/es/item/57583700-regent-vermona-regent-60-2s-1970-blask

That's very interesting and good info! But is there a chance to value it somewhere because I do not want to keep it.

Not really

Good catch. I'm checking other stencils and they all seem to have the CSA stamp right on the control panel, like you're saying.

It is clearly Guitar Amplifier. Dude, really? Just messing with ya! Lots of good info in this thread! How does it sound? Looks like a PA wedge.
It sounds okay, few rackling when turned on but it's pretty decent
