Ampwise, I'm mostly a Boogie man. 70s vintage Mark II- one of the very first, from when Randy was still handbuilding 'em at home in his shed. Also have an 80s Son Of Boogie. But since the early 90s my gig rig has been a Mesa Triaxis with a 20:20 and Marshall cabs. Also have a Friedman head with a custom built Celestion-loaded cab, a couple of old blackface Fenders, a pair of mid-60s Sivertones, and a nice mid-50s Magnatone 113 combo.
