Joey Santiago
Joey Santiago's Amplifiers
"I think Marshall screwed up when they stopped making the 2205s—with that two-channel thing. When we go to rent amps—because the truck doesn’t make the next gig or whatever—we try to rent [the 2205s], and half the time they don’t have them."
Joe uses a 1964 Fender Vibrolux per this Guitar Geek diagram.
In this YouTube archive of the Pixies’ 1988 show at the Town and Country club Joey Santiago is very clearly seen using the Peavey Bandit 65 combo amplifier throughout the whole performance in conjunction with his Gold Top Les Paul. The amplifier is easily recognizable due to the number of knobs and the “Bandit 65” logo being clearly visible in multiple portions of the video. There are innumerable shots of the amp but clear and prolonged interaction can be found around the 32:00 mark of the performance.
In a YouTube video titled "Pixies - Live at the Town and Country Club in London (1988) [50FPS Remastered]," Joey Santiago is seen and heard playing a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus amplifier at the 23:04 mark, as well as a Peavey Bandit. The video was uploaded by jaw knee.
