Greg Ginn

The amp is seen on top the stack on the right. This amp is also known to be used at their Polliwog Park gig.

(Right behind his head). One of the most circulated photos of Greg's career, unfortunately the only evidence I'm aware of as fas as the origins behind Greg's particular amps he used during bLAck fLAg's ten year run; was financial limitations. Black Flag simply didn't have ample money during their ten year span, naturally this resulted in the band having no choice but to gravitate towards low-cost equipment that they could afford. Greg in particular went through about a handful of guitar heads (mostly solid state Peaveys); whether Greg "loved" how they sounded or "settled" for them, I have no idea.1983 was a pivotol year of Greg's career beause it galvanized his intentions of having absolute creative control over ANY band he would play in; tone chasing became more prevalent in Greg's equipment choices. My War (1983) was Greg's offical transition into guitar pre-amps and power-amp rackmounts, the first being a Roland SIP 300. You can listen to Greg play guitar through it on My War (1983), Family Man (1984) and Slip It In (1984). Greg would no longer use Roland SIP 300 after 1984.

In the image from Cvltnation, you can spot the SMF Tour Series Guitar Head behind Greg Ginn, indicated by the prominent SMF logo. This amplifier, known for its tube configuration, might be one of the early guitar heads he used, reflecting his exploration of sound during his formative years. Throughout his career with Black Flag, Greg experimented with various guitar heads, including brands like SMF, Sound City, Peavey, Roland, Yamaha, and occasionally Marshall. While he predominantly used solid-state amps, the presence of this SMF tube amp highlights a phase in his evolving sound journey.

Greg Ginn is seen using an Ampeg SVT-410HLF Classic Series Bass Cabinet in a photo on Pinterest curated by Ed Byrd.

In this photo it appears that it is a Peavey Standard on the very top.

Greg Ginn used a Tech 21 Sansamp Rackmount Preamp during Black Flag's performances in 2013 and 2014, as seen in the YouTube video by RobxWallace from their May 19, 2014, show in Bakersfield, CA.

Greg Ginn was seen on the Black Flag 40 years of my war tour using the Seymour Duncan PowerStage700. The one Greg used looks to be a black or dark grey model but can’t make it out. Anything else with this model is unknown by me.
