Guitar.com: What kinds of amps are you using?

"Haggard: I use two Fender Twin Bassman amps, and that?s about all I need. My tone is a lot like Keith Richards. I don?t use a lot of echo. I use a little dirt and that?s about it. I like to make the effects occur on the neck, rather than through some electronic thing."
