Quoting Alphonze:
I saw his concert in Oslo. He used a double Marshall stack, but there were no mics in front of his speakers. Anyone got an idea why?


if there were no mics at all, he would run a line out of the head, this would give you the exact tone straight from the head

There is no preamp out on these little amps, they used to very wrongly feed the speaker out into the larger amp as a preamp pedal. I hope Jeff has not lost his mind in a flashback.

Little amps might be a goof for some to use in recording but like Satriani and so many others I'll take the half stack w the pedalboard.

As of late Jeff has been using a two Marshall half stacks...one which takes the signal from a pre out of a Fender tweed (either Champ or Princeton...looked more like a champ to me.) Being an owner of a 56" Champ...I can relate as to why. :-)
