Robby's studio amps?

[atherber]

Anyone know about Robby's studio amps? I've only heard they were Fender. But that could mean a lot of things...what era, model, speakers, etc?

Also would love to know what creates the bite in studio cuts like Roadhouse Blues and LA Woman.

Then there's the tone on the studio cut of Peace Frog...probably a topic in itself. Any clues? I think pickups out of phase is one piece of the puzzle.

Thanks in advance,

Andy

i think that he used a twin reverb most of the time. he used a vibro champ on people are strange, so he probably used it on a few other things as well.

Cool. Were they blackface?

in 1967 , it would have to be black face. it sounds like the solo in the middle of Moonlight Drive was done on a vibro champ as well.

Makes sense. And what a solo that is. Some of the sounds are animal-like. Always seemed too raw to be the blackface twin. Thanks...

Way to go Andy!

Robbie used Twin Reverb amps in studio. He liked the sound - not that it mattered after it hit the recording board. He had a tape reverb unit that he used when he wanted really good reverb effect. We took it on the road and he oft times used it there as well.

For the record, He had a borwn Fender as well. Fairly old but again he liked the tome of it.
