Earl Slick's Amplifiers
In this video Earl plays a couple of his guitars through an Ampeg GVT52-112. Confirmation of his use of the GVT52-112 can be found on the official Ampeg site.
"I have an old Ampeg VT-40 that I just love" - Slick says in this article.

"Earl Slick’s Custom Supro Statesman 50-Watt Guitar Head (1 of 2) – Custom Calzone Road Case" & "Earl Slick’s Supro Statesman 50W Half-Stack"
For the last several years, Slick’s go-to live rig has been a pair of Supro Statesman 50W half-stacks. We currently have 2 heads, and 2 speakers cabs available separately or, courtesy of this listing as a half-stack.
Slick had this head modded by the Supro Custom Shop to replace the Channel 1 tone control with a straight up Presence control, enabling even more of the guitar’s natural tone to shine through – sounds killer!
As one of his state-side working amps, this head comes with a custom Calzone road case, with the requisite spray-paint SLICK!
Will be accompanied with a certificate of authenticity.
