"Live, I always run two Fender-type amps—or Vox-type or Orange or Silvertone—flanking a JCM800. On this last tour in Europe, I had an AC30 on one side and a Deluxe Reverb on the other."

Duke Robillard

> I don’t know… It was a low-wattage amp with a 12? speaker and got a good, sort of distorted, sound. I was always jealous of another guy I knew who had one of those Silvertone amps with the separate head and big speaker box. It is further confirmed in the interview that he uses the Silvertone Twin Twelve.

Great amp with the right guitars

Killer garage rock tone, can nail the Slade sound but definitely prefers brighter guitars. Dark guitars straight in can sound too bassy for my taste but brighter guitars are great and I LOVE the tremolo!
