D. Boon
D. Boon's Amplifiers
“After his Bandmaster amp, D. Boon pretty much fell in love with Twin Reverbs,” Spot says. “The Twin Reverb was what they would call a ‘proper amp.’ It was a silverface. It had a master volume control on it. His was a good one.”
"D. Boon’s penchant for low-cost, ad-hoc gear applied to his amps as well. “He had an old blackface Fender Bandmaster head,” Spot says. “At that time, it was considered the low version of a Fender piggyback.” He also had a 2x12 cabinet with mismatched speakers, which were wired out of phase. “I recorded it in stereo. I had each speaker miked separately. When I was mixing the stuff down, I tried to see how everything sounded in mono and the guitar disappeared."

The 2x12 cabinet could possibly be this one, as it has the same name and is a 2x12 cabinet.
"By that point, Boon was using much better gear. 'He had a Super Twin,' Mascis says about Boon’s amp. 'It was a 180-watt Twin with six tubes, from the late ’70s or early ’80s.'"
