Kenny Greenberg
Kenny Greenberg's Amplifiers
Although Greenberg plays through his 1954 Twin Tweed a lot, for studio recording and other purposes, Greenberg uses the "Sampson-era" Matchless HC-30 head. This is either a 1992 or 1993 version of the HC-30. He has a couple of those amplifiers, and he mostly uses them for recording, as they are great recording amplifiers. Signal from HC-30 usually goes to Category 5 2x12 Cabinet.
This combo amplifier is one of Magnatone's newer amplifiers, and Greenberg also mentions that this amp features pitch shifter and vibrato. It's laid sideways in Greenberg's rack for the reasons because "the amp just would not fit".
Around 25:00 minute mark, Greenberg mentions the usage of his 1954 Fender Twin Tweed.This amp was shown on the video, but Greenberg himself mentioned playing this model. Previous owner recovered the amp in black Tolex.
The 1969 Marshall Super Lead was bought after Greenberg's Marshall Plexi was stolen (the only amp that was stolen from him). This amplifier head is 100-watt and he describes it as "loud", but not to loud for most of his applications.
He uses mostly Telecasters or Stratocasters to play through this amplifier, as said in Premier Guitar's rig rundown.

"I have a Matchless DC-30 head, a Carr Slant 6V that I use some of the time, and I have a Category 5 Katrina. Those are my three amps that I have with me on this tour right now. They go into a Category 5 2 x 12 cabinet."
