Amplifiers used by Greg Ginn on Family Man
(Right behind his head). One of the most circulated photos of Greg's career, unfortunately the only evidence I'm aware of as fas as the origins behind Greg's particular amps he used during bLAck fLAg's ten year run; was financial limitations. Black Flag simply didn't have ample money during their ten year span, naturally this resulted in the band having no choice but to gravitate towards low-cost equipment that they could afford. Greg in particular went through about a handful of guitar heads (mostly solid state Peaveys); whether Greg "loved" how they sounded or "settled" for them, I have no idea.1983 was a pivotol year of Greg's career beause it galvanized his intentions of having absolute creative control over ANY band he would play in; tone chasing became more prevalent in Greg's equipment choices. My War (1983) was Greg's offical transition into guitar pre-amps and power-amp rackmounts, the first being a Roland SIP 300. You can listen to Greg play guitar through it on My War (1983), Family Man (1984) and Slip It In (1984). Greg would no longer use Roland SIP 300 after 1984.
