Used for 2022 tour, according to guitarguitar interview::

It's a little different. I use higher wattage amps when I'm touring. I use my Blackstar JJN-20, maybe I'll use one of those St James models which is a 50 watt, and I'll run those together. I'm usually running in stereo on the road.

But what we did with this record is, I wanted to use higher wattage amps for more headroom, so I had a Blackstar Artisan 100, and then I also had a 69 Super Lead and I ran those two together, and Boy, All Mighty was that the sound? It was just so good.
