Mick Ralphs
Mick Ralphs' Amplifiers
As seen in this video, Mick was using Ampeg V-4 amp heads.
Mentioned in a 2023 Vintage Guitar rundown.
In the mid ’60s, Ralphs relied on a pair of Vox AC30 amps, but by ’69 upgraded to Marshall 100-watt stacks with Mott.
Used during Mott The Hoople's 2009 reunion, according to 2013 Music Radar interview.
Last time we did Mott, my tech managed to get me some JTM45 hand-wired amps, which is the closest thing you can get to the old Marshall heads. They're really, really good and I used two of those
Mick Ralphs used a Marshall Plexi 1959SLP, as he mentioned in a GuitarPlayer interview that during his time with Mott the Hoople, he often played his guitar "through a 100-watt Marshall amp," which aligns with the specifications of the Marshall Plexi 1959SLP.
