Derek Trucks

In the Premier Guitar "Rig Rundown" video, Derek Trucks discusses his use of the Alessandro AZZ guitar amplifier head, describing it as a "suped-up Super" with about 20% more power.

In an interview with PremierGuitar, the 1965 Super Reverb is listed as one of Derek's amps.

According to an article on jambase.com posted by the Derek Trucks Band about their stolen music equipment, Derek's stage amp is a 1996 Matchless Chieftain 2X10 combo amp.

“It’s taken a long time to find a sound that cut, and not be overly aggressive. I tried a dozen different things, and up until this year when I started using this [PRS] head, it was just a constant battle.

For me the first thing is comfort - not having to second-guess your sound, your tone, your instrument. And when you find an amp that you feel great about, when you know you can bring it down and have the really subtle tones, and then crank it up and don’t have to worry about the amp sagging on you, it frees you up to actually play and not think about the equipment.

With this, it’s been a rock. It feels great, it sounds great, and it’s consistent from night to night. We tried this out in rehearsal in New York City early this year, and it was just Volume and Tone - pretty simple. It immediately fit in really well… it’s been such a blessing to not fight the tone war all night. I can get down to just really playing.”

In this video, Derek Trucks sings the praises of the PRS Dallas 50W Tube Guitar Amp Head, which is sitting on top of a PRS 2x12 120W Open-Back Guitar Speaker Cabinet.

In the YouTube Derek Trucks Rig Rundown Derek Trucks’ guitar tech, Bobby Tis, discusses his use of the AmpRX BrownBox at the 9:41 mark.

Derek Trucks is seen using a Fender Vibro-Champ (Vintage Blackface) in a post by derekandsusan on Instagram, with the caption, "Who knew drumsticks could also be used as slides?"
