Artist usage
Add artist
Dave Fielding initially used a Carlsbro Stingray Super Combo amp from the early/mid 70s, these amps have two channels one which has a built in Suzz circuit (a distortion overdrive) which was his main source of overdrive. They later removed the original grill from amp and custom painted the baffle (which can be seen in other photos/videos) as they did with most of their gear.
This same amp was later used by Reg Smithies as his main amp (along with an Ibanez Flanger) once Dave started using his Music Man HD212.
