It certainly has been a while, but I remember using Fender and Ampeg amps for my Frafisa Combo Compact and Hohner Pianet. But things were very different back in the 60's and 70's. Heck, I even played through a Super Beatle; now that was a unique sound.
Farfisa compact...that was a gem (and the organ to have, if you get/afford the Hammond) back in the day...my first pro keyboard, and also first combo organ, was, here's one you may not know, a Howard Baldwin Combo which was played through my first amp, a Fender Twin, which I still have(the amp, not the organ).
The Howard was resplendent in blue and black and always had the smell of key contact cleaner wafting from it's innards.

It had, (gasp!) nine tones...and the sound is generally described as , raunchy, harsh fuzzy, raspy, nasty, gritty, spitty - all terms of endearment, of course.
