Bump a few years and you get the Greatful Dead's Wall of Sound principle... ;D



It's worth googling to find the variety of set-up variations in the stacking of the speakers... this was extreme...

The "middle" amp is not a Twin Reverb. It's a Super Twin, definitely 70's vintage. (The bass version of that amp is the Studio Bass, BTW.) Incidentally, it has more power them both of the two s/s Standels driving the four 15" speakers put together.

I saw that set up several times live and then was delighted to see it land in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few years back. He had one helluva fine sound live ;D
