Joan Jett's Amplifiers
"She's been using this she's recorded through this it's a Music Man HD 130 and she's recorded everything on this amp, 'I Love Rock 'N Roll', 'Hate Myself' this has been her number one amp" - Zach Nagy, guitar tech for Joan Jett at 8:50. This amp also comes with JJ EL34 power tubes.
In this photo you can see a Mesa/Boogie Mark III (Blue Stripe) head on top of a Vox Ac30. In an interview with Premier Guitar, Joan Jett’s tech explained that it was her main head until they retired to studio .
At 9:20 you can hear Joans Tech mention they use a HD-130 head as backup and is used on fly dates with a rented Vox AC30 and can be seen in live photos and videos. Joans looks to be an HD-130 reverb based on the numbers knobs but it can’t be said for sure with no markers. Joans tech also mentioned it was made so this also could be a head made from a combo.
Joan originally used a Marshall during her time with The Runaways, but later switched to this amp, which she used to record songs like “I Love Rock ‘N Roll.” Joan uses Music Man amplifiers to this day.
Joan Jett used Marshalls during her time with The Runaways and the beginning of her solo career as seen in the music video for I Love Rock ‘N Roll. At 2:08 you can see it’s a JMP because of the Plexi front plate and two rectangle toggle switches.
In Joan Jett’s Rig Rundown her tech says they run her Music Man head paired with a rented Vox AC30 with Celestion Blues at 9:35.
