Joe Jack Talcum's Gear
Joe Jack Talcum used the Yamaha G100-112 II amplifier during the early days of his career before switching to a JC-120 post-Bucky Fellini, as mentioned by Joe Genaro on Instagram.
Early Dead Milkmen albums definitely have a very clean guitar sound (with reverb and chorus), which definitely seems to fit with the anecdotes in the forums that Joe Jack Talcum always used a Roland JC-120, but then I was browsing YouTube and found this video from 1992 where the amplifier is clearly visible next to the bassist's amplifier.
Looks like Joe Jack Talcum is using the Mesa/Boogie Studio .22+ 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp in this concert performance video from 2014.
