Ziggy Marley uses Steinberger Synapse SS-2F Ziggy Marley uses Steinberger Synapse SS-2F

Ziggy Marley uses a Steinberger Synapse SS2F-TL1 according to his interview with the Steinberger company:

Steinberger... well, way back in 1987 or something like that, when we were putting out the record called Conscious Party, my guitarist had it and I liked how it looked and it was different. So I picked up and used it during those early years. I put it down for a while and found it again just now. I really like it. My old Steinberger has a lot of history to it. Nice memories, you know?

Ziggy Marley uses Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar Ziggy Marley uses Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar

Ziggy Marley primarily uses a Fender Stratocaster guitar according to his April 2026 Guitar World interview:

It’s gonna be vintage in a few years [2014]. I like the Strat for its versatility. I like to experiment. Some nights I might play on one setting. Some nights I might switch it. It depends how I feel.

Matt "Guitar" Murphy uses Fender Red Knob 'The Twin' Amplifier Matt "Guitar" Murphy uses Fender Red Knob 'The Twin' Amplifier

In a YouTube video titled "Blues Brothers Band - The thrill is gone" by whatiship73, filmed in Pori, Finland in 1989, Matt "Guitar" Murphy is seen playing a Fender Red Knob 'The Twin' Amplifier. At the 5:29 mark, the amplifier's distinctive standby and power switches, as well as the red knobs, are visible, and the text "The Twin" is barely readable. This evidence is supported by other recordings from the same era that also show Murphy using the red-knob 'The Twin'. Additionally, in this performance, Steve Cropper is on stage with his own 'The Twin', which is also visible in parts of the video.

Jon Lord uses Moog Opus 3 Jon Lord uses Moog Opus 3

In an interview published in Music UK in May 1983, Jon Lord confirmed his use of the Moog Opus 3, stating, "I still use my old Hammond organ, which has been modified I don't know how many times. It's got all sorts of things built into it. On top of that there's a Clavinet and a Moog Opus which I basically use just to fatten-up the sounds. That's all on one side of me on stage."
