Ronald Jones

Ronald used two Roland JC-120's in stereo for the greater part of his tenure with the Flaming Lips. You can clearly see them most in every live video from when he was in the band.

In select 1996 performances he used three amplifiers, as seen at 8:27 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zurLO8ECVYU

One of the most infamous gizmos that Ronald used during live performances was his miniature amplifier that he would hold up to his guitar's pickups to create and manipulate feedback. It was wired up to the line out of one of his many rack effects. Can be seen at the upper left sitting on top of his rack box.

Used to it's greatest effect during the middle interlude of the song Mountainside, as seen and heard in this video at 29:52 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l-WXDF18Xo

The band's personal JC-120's that Ronald used were modified with Electro-Voice EVM12L speakers which can be seen at 23:25 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmeiXg2AxJw

They are the black and silver stripe label models like this: https://images.reverb.com/image/upload/v1477152553/gjww9wpejkzl0k5bfpk8.jpg

You can see in the alternate 'turn it on' music video and Cleary at 1:02 Ronald uses a 70s black speaker grilled and silver faced twin reverb. You can also see him use this amp at the end of the 'this here giraffe' music video at 3:20 and I believe small glimpses of the amp can be seen in the recordings of the making of clouds taste metallic. He would use this amp in stereo with his jc120.

You can see in this image and in videos of their live shows in 1992 and in 1993 Ronald would play out of a Fender Super Twin (not a super twin reverb) a long side his jc120. (He would eventually switch to a 70s twin reverb)
