Dan Auerbach's Amplifiers
"This one is dry. That's like two tweed deluxes in one amp. It's very squishy sounding. It's on all the time. This one has a couple of Eminence Red Coat. I think that's a copy of a Vox," says Dan Auerbach's guitar tech about the Victoria Double Deluxe Amp.
Incorrect. Faceplate reads, "JTM45" at the 01:36 mark.
Dan Auerbach's guitar tech:
This one has some reverb. It has a more Fender, spikey, trebley sound. It's a traditional so it's got a little more chime to it. It's on all the time. This one has two 25-watt Greenbacks and two vintage 30s.
In 2012 Vintage Guitar interview, Fender Quad Reverb was mentioned as one of Auerbach's touring amps.
In this photo of the inside artwork of The Black Keys album: Rubber Factory, the combo amp sitting on the far left is an Ampeg Gemini I, which coincidentally can also be seen on the inside cover of their debut album: The Big Come Up in the photo where Dan is performing a rather impressive jump.The rich, wet reverb and spiky, gritty drive tones of this amp can be heard on both these albums.
In this article they say Auerbach uses two Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifiers for The Arcs. Auerbach also used a silverface Deluxe Reverb while recording Black Keys' 2019 album, "Let's Rock", according to 2019 Music Radar interview.
Then I used a Deluxe Reverb - a silverface Deluxe Reverb. I prefer the silverface for rock ’n’ roll-type stuff. Blackfaces are really nice and pretty and they’re really versatile, but I don’t need to be versatile. Not all of the time, anyway!
What we ended up doing was dragging the guitar amps into the vacant room across the hall and recording in there. I was using my [Fender] Super Reverb then and an Ampeg Gemini.
"The 8x10 Marshall cab still has the same Jensen speakers as before," reads this article on Dan Auerbach's gear, by Premier Guitar.

In this photo recently posted by one of our contributing members you can clearly see Dan plugged into a Gibson 'Skylark' GA-5 amplifier. You can tell its a GA-5 by the distinctive Gibson tweed cosmetics from the 59-61 era coupled with the slanted rear control plate (not unlike the much earlier fender champion amps) unique to the GA-5 as opposed to all other Gibson tweed combos which featured top loaded control panels like Fender's tweed amps.
