The 30 is such a great amp. I had 6-7 really great amps here next to it for a while (Wizards, Fryettes, Marshalls) and they're all gone and the 30's still here.

I might take the plunge and get one when my wife goes back to work after summer break next month . More time to play it at decent volume and she won’t be here when it’s delivered to the house lol

I read where Mick says he blended like 5 amps.

Soldano SLO, Marshall JCM800, Rivera Bonehead...
 
Lots of great tones Hammered listed. I like Satriani's Soldano tones on The Extremist. I found an old interview recently where he explained more.

Ref: Australian "Sonics with Guitarist" Magazine Dec 1992. Pg 87

"I used it for New Blues and almost all of Summer Song and perhaps the solo on Rubinas Blue Sky Happiness"

FYI he states in the same interview that he used a "1969 all original Marshall 100 watt stack with original speakers and we used that for most of the record on the rhythm tracks."

To paraphrase more details: "For melodies and leads... we rented stuff from Andy Brauer rentals in LA, stuff like a Marshall 1979 combo, a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. Peavey lent us a 5150, and we rented two Soldanos, one of which was stolen. We had more Marshalls that friends lent us and maybe a JC120, but I don't know if those made it to the final edit"




There is also an interview in the same mag with Jim Martin and he talks about what he uses around the Angel Dust album, But that's for another thread, specifically talking about his Mark 3 and Mark 4 amps.

edit: some grammar issues.

edit 2: I added the actual interview snippets.
