"What a thrill when that showed up in the mail! Usually, I use an Ampeg VT-22 or Vox Super Beatle head. The Vox is excellent for steel guitar because it has very little inter-modular distortion at low volumes. It's an old one and has a nice reverb and echo for the steel."

He used non-Master Ampegs during his time with the Stones, just like Keith.

Dylan Carlson

In an interview with Consequence of Sound, Carlson mentions: "I just bought an Ampeg BT22, a 2×12 that I use, but it’s so heavy I haven’t taken it out yet. I’m going to put wheels on mine [laughs]." The B in BT22 must be misspelled.

I have this amp.

This is a great sounding amp with active EQ with a semi parametric mid EQ. The low end is amazing. I have the head instead of the combo. It has the 7027A power tubes.

you have a V4? heads up, 7027As are just an old, robust type of 6L6GC. These amps have high plate voltages that most modern GCs can't handle, but with7072As being scarce on the ground the JJ 6L6 will handle the abuse and sound just like the old 7027As.

No, I actually have a VT-22 HEAD. I don't have the combo with 2 x 12 speakers. It has new old stock 7027a.

Great clean sound, INCREDIBLY loud.

I got a used one of these back in 1999 or so. It sounded incredibly great clean, and had a really neat spring reverb. It was also insanely loud, and it really shined when played insanely loud. This was unfortunate for trying to use it at home for practice since I could never really turn it up to where you'd get the best sound. You'd need a fairly large venue if you want to turn it up while gigging as well. I'm not sure most people would have a need for this, although it really does sound quite good! With the volume also comes weight - the thing weighs almost 90 pounds and with only a single carry handle, it's a nightmare to move around. For reference, I had the full combo. I think it was a V4 but I'm not sure, I sold it years ago.
