Image vs. Reality!

Post by jps »

I like this photo of Mike Campbell's amps, the ones the audience sees, and the ones Mike really uses! :lol:

Those two twinkies back there look like BF Princetons, but I can't read the script.

They are Princetons. Mike uses those and Deluxe Reverbs because Mike feels smaller tube amps give a crisp clean sound. He also has a '65 Vox AC-30.

Tom uses a Marshall JTM 45 half-stack and a Vox AC-30 in addition to his Vox Super Beatle amp (he actually uses the Beatle), Ron Blair uses Ampeg SVT stacks and Scott Thurston uses a Super Beatle and a Fender Twin Reverb.
