Dave Davies' Amplifiers
On Dave's official site, Dave says about this amp in an excerpt from 'Kink' - An Autobiography by Dave Davies © 1996 "Ironically, it was that sound, which we used on 'You Really Got Me,' that got the Kinks our first hit."
He mentions this amp on his website, saying "I plugged the Elpico loudspeaker's output leads into the input of the AC 30, in effect using the smaller amp as kind of a pre-amp."
According to this interview for Premier Guitar, Dave Davies used a Peavey Decade amp to record the song "Little Green Amp."
"'Did you use the little green amp on that track?'
'No, I used a little old Peavey Decade—a solid-state amp.'"
Dave Davies was photographed on stage in the late 1970s utilizing two Peavey Mace 160 Watt RMS 2x12" Tube Valve Guitar Amplifiers, as evidenced by a sourced image. This visual documentation serves as a clear indication of his preference for this specific model of amplifier during that era.
