Hi Claude,
Hank used two JMI AC30 amps on the Cliff and Shadows tour. One for normal sound and the other for tremolo.
Regards,
Charlie

£5000+ for an AC30 ;D, I don't care who used it, it aint worth it.

Many thanks to all of you for those helpful replies.
I heard on a video Hank speaking about a 'Matchless' amplifier. Can anyone explain me what kind of amplifier this is?
Regards.

A good few years ago now,Hank did for a short time use a MESA BOOGIE,I think it might of been a MK3 or he might of had 2 on the go,I was in Chandler guitars in kew in London arranging for my Gibson to be Re-Fretted,His Messa was in to be sold. I think the selling price was around £3000 or & £3500,I think it sold very quickly.Personally i think that the MESA BOOGIE MK2B was a warmer sounding amp.The 20- 20 power amp is a nice piece of gear tho very expensive,still made today i think. Best wishes, Les.

I think Hank and Bruce's Mesa Boogies werre MkIIC models. As far as I understand, basically the same as a MkIIB but with a better effects loop.
