Martin Barre's Amplifiers

"So here is the “Rig” I have spent 37 years building up to!

· Paul Reed Smith 513 Electric

· 2 Soldano Decatone Heads, one feeding one or two 2 X 12" Marshall Vintage Cabs and the other feeding two 1 X 12” Marshall mini-cabs as “front” monitors. From the send of one amp I route through a simple reverb unit (Picoverb) and return to both amps a subtle background hall reverb." - Martin Barre.

Barre was an avid user of Hiwatt amps, running a 200w head into a 4x12 cabinet throughout the 1970s. This was the amp setup used on Benefit, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, etc.
