Andy Partridge

Singer, Guitarist

XTC

In a 2024 interview from Guitar World, when asked what amps he used on Nonsuch:

"I can tell you exactly what I used: a solid-state amp. I used to use big Marshall amps, but I got rid of them because when XTC came off the road, we had shockingly large freight bills from dragging all this heavy shit back from the States.

All my stuff was locked up until I’d paid the bill, and we didn’t have the money, so I got rid of two Les Pauls and my Marshalls. Instead I treated myself to a solid-state amp, the same that Eric Clapton used, called a Sessionnette 75, made by Session."

The Sessionette amp was a 2x12 combo version, and can be seen on Gus Dudgeon's studio videos from the Nonsuch sessions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T11vkHm2f8), most clearly at 3:30 where the back of the amp with the large "Sessionette 75" lettering can be seen)

"Stan's quite involved in money," Paul says of Stan Cullimore, rhythm guitar player, partial singer, and his co-writer. Stan does not retaliate. "I use a Sessionette 75, and a Rickenbacker 420 — we had a bit of an accident on the last night of the tour and that guitar got smashed, but I've got a new one. I also use a Strat as an occasional second guitar."

Steve plays through a Sessionette 75 twin speaker "because it's small, portable, very loud and you can mix the channels so you can get a clean sound mixed with an overdrive sound. My first amp was a really ancient 1963 Vox AC30 with a home-made tea-towel front to it."
