Ronnie Wood's Amplifiers

In this article from Gibson.com, the author claims in the second to last paragraph that Ronnie Wood (while playing in the Faces) preferred to match Gibson SG guitars with an Ampeg bass rig– the SVT, V-2, or V-4. The article recognizes that this tone is "considered by many of his fans to be the quintessential Woody tone". The article goes on to say that Ronnie used this setup in Faces' songs like "Stay With Me" because he appreciated its "high output and crunching drive."

While talk of a Stones tour in 2011 is being bandied about, Wood is focused on his new album, I Feel Like Playing (Eagle Records). His seventh solo effort, it’s his first in nine years. To get the raunchy no-frill rock-and-roll guitar sounds he is famous for, Wood used his trusty ’55 sunburst Strat, ’64 white Firebird reverse, red ’67 Strat, all cranked up through a ’50s Fender Tremolux, a ’56 Fender low-powered tweed Twin, a ’58 high-powered Twin, and a new Fender Vibro-King. To get an early Hank Marvin/Shadow’s sound when needed, Wood added a ’60 Watkins Dominator.
