In this source video, Scott Holiday recalls the usage of the 200 watt Orange Thunderverb.
“The Magnatone Twilighter is what I used mainly on this record [Rival Sons' Hollow Bones], which I still don’t own, it was one Dave had so I’ll have to reach out to him and grab one. It’s a really, really great sounding amp. It’s very versatile. So that was my live off-the-floor amp and my friends at Supro sent a bunch of stuff out. I tried all of them and they’re all really good but the one that won for us was the Coronado 2x10. I did all the overdubbing with that amp, it was all we needed; the Twilight and Coronado. I know everybody thinks you need Marshalls and all these huge amps but it’s very difficult to record big amps in the studio and get them to sound big and right. The air, force and volume doesn’t translate through a microphone. It certainly doesn’t translate to Pro Tools, and doesn’t really translate to tape. We’ve just learned through history that these smaller amps really end up sounding much, much larger. And it works every time.”
"I used my Reeves Custom 30’s, I used the Vintage Orange OR120, and a lot of the time I used a Silvertone 1484." - Scott Holiday.

Rigrundown video from MusicRadar at 9:48.
"Here are the amps I'm usin' in this tour... and I have been usin' it for a while, I mean not just in this tour... and I use the Orange OR50's as you can see."
"The first track you hear is a ’66 Telecaster into a mid-’60s Vox Berkeley, which is a solid-state Vox with reverb. It’s a weird-sounding amp, but of course it can’t be all bad because the Beatles used it. The sound of that amp, that guitar, and the weird reverb was really dark and strange."
