Midge Ure's Amplifiers
According to the H&K website's artist page, Ure uses a GM36 for live work.
According to the H&K website's artist page, Ure runs his GM36 amplifier through a TM212 cab.
This 2013 profile for Australia's The Music website notes that "Ure is playing his guitar through a Vox 150 watt 1x12 combo." (The VTX150 is the only Vox amplifier that matches this description, and was available at the time of publication.) Says Ure, "'This thing is amazing, a modelling amp with a valve front end so you get all the warmth and drive you would want but with the ability to pop patches anytime you like. Although once I get the sound I like, I don't like to change patches. I like the one sound.'"
The "Links" page at Ure's old website states, "Midge was a user of Vox AC30 amps in the days of Ultravox..."
The "Links" page at Ure's old website states, "Midge was a user of Vox AC30 amps in the days of Ultravox, so he is more than happy with using the most recent addition to the Vox family, the AD120VT. This amp has 21 effects and 16 different amp sounds modelled on original amp characteristics."
Midge's favourite, ie most used guitar is an Ibanez Roadstar with humbucker pickups. On stage he uses a Yamaha pedal board, Vox Conqueror amps (45w plus 2x12") while in the studio he uses a Rockman. This latter gadget is one he's just discovered.
"It's really knockout. In the studio you can turn the speakers up really loud so you've got the sustain and things, 'cos it doesn't actually feed back through the speakers, it's just like playing through a stack. The louder you've got it, the more the guitar's gonna scream, which is great."
