this is a picture of his setup at the cabin he stayed at while he wrote forget and not slow down...I can't tell what guitar that is...
yeah man you're right. I emailed hoopes a couple of weeks ago, and he told me Matt T used a 120 watt orange head through a sound city 4x12 cab and a Boss DS-1 with his 1979 Les Paul "The Paul". (he was referring to the live recording of their song Breakdown). Also he used a Gibson Firebird but I'm not sure of the exact model. You can see it in the My Girlfriend and Pressing On music videos.

You can tell because it has only one volume knob, and only one pickup (bridge)-the headstock is also a natural wood color, and this is the only 333 like that. He used this when they played Must have done Something Right on Jay Leno too
