On the amp side, van Leeuwen relied on a two amp system. He used his Peavey solid state head for anything that was quick with a lot of attack. The other amp he used was an EchoPark Vibramatic 4T5 made by Gabriel Currie. “It’s a perfect mix of a ’60s Bassman and a ’60s Super Reverb with a little Vox,” he explained. “It’s very open. The head itself is small and he makes these cabinets with one 12-inch and two 10-inches in them, so I had the option of either speaker. I just love those speakers and cabinet, so I was using them most of the time.”
The Gear Page, "Echopark 4T5......anyone?", Navyjohns21, comment #8, September 12, 2018
I actually own the very first production model of the 4t5 which Gabe just told me is no longer being made. The amp was loaned to Troy Van Leeuwen of Queens of the Stone Age to record his side project gone is gone before it reached my hands. (...) If you are interested in what the amp sounds like in a live setting here is a link on youtube from Queens of the Stone Age live in Rio from 2015. Troy Van Leeuwen is exclusively using the 4t5.
