Matt Bigland's Amplifiers
In a Getty Images photo, Matt Bigland is shown with his Fender Red Knob 'The Twin' Amplifier, highlighting its use during a performance.
At around 0:32/0:33, you can clearly see Matt has this Sound City Concord running hot next to a Vox AC30. When the chorus hits, he toggles both amps on, but it is unclear which amp carries the signal throughout the verses.
In a Getty Images photograph, Matt Bigland is shown with a Marshall JCM800 2203 guitar amplifier head, highlighting its use in his setup.
In the video you can see Matt playing a show through a Dual Rectifier in the background.
I honestly couldn’t tell you what amps we used, because the pile of heads (and I literally mean a pile) went from the table they were all on to the ceiling of the dingy studio room we were in. We used the ceiling itself to lodge in the heads on top of the table. It was a joke. There were a bunch of Marshalls – JCM800 and a JMP for sure – a Diezel VH4 which we’d borrowed, an old Laney Klipp that me and Larry Hibbitt [producer] had previously set on fire. There was a bunch.
