Keith Richards

Keith Richards began using the Fender 'Black Panel' Dual Showman amplifier in 1964, which significantly contributed to the early sound of the Rolling Stones. This amplifier was known for producing sparkling and clean guitar tones, such as those heard in "Satisfaction," despite the distinctive sax-like tone. Throughout the 1960s, Richards utilized this early "blackface" Showman, leveraging its ability to deliver high volume levels without distortion, as evidenced by the image proof on Equipboard.
