"The FENDER TWIN REVERB guitar amp
KATHLEEN: I used to use an old Sunn Sentura amp with a Marshall cabinet for playing live, but I stopped doing that cuz the Sunn head was really temperamental and I had to order the tubes from Texas which was a pain in the ass. Luckily our sound engineer, Killer, had a Fender Twin that she'd rebuilt that she wanted to get rid of, so that's what I use now. It's a reissue so the tubes are easy to find and it is small, great sounding and reliable. I used the bigger amp/speaker combination before cuz we played small clubs that often didn't have the set-up to mic my guitar, so I had to have more volume. Now that we play bigger places my tiny cabinet always gets mic'ed so it doesn't have to be that loud. It is also really special to own an amp my friend built with her own hands. Now if I could just find a guitar that would stay in tune!"
