Greg Christian's Amplifiers

Greg used this amp head during the time he joined back Testament. At 0:32 you can see the head(s) on the Ampeg 8x10 cabs. Greg used this head as his main amp head for many years later on. You can even see the same head on a video called “Testament - Gear Tour 2012” where Eric and Alex discuss about their rig they used for during Dark Roots of Earth. At 4:40 you can see the Ampeg SVT 5 Pro in a rack on the top of the Ampeg fridge, mostly like Greg’s rig. Even when he left Testament you can see pictures of him preforming with Trinity Fallen and many other bands with the same Ampeg head in his rig.
