12xxx used on the second tour ?

Post by Tone Slinger » Sun Nov 24, 2013 9:46 am

Look at the amp to the right of Ed's shoulder thats sitting on a cab thats (cab) stenciled 'Stage Left'. Looks like a 12xxx. My buddy has this same pic that was a centerfold and you can see it better, but the amp looks like Ed's #1. Its weird though, cause if it is, he didnt stop using it live after it showed back up from a flight route mishap like he said and secondly ,why is on Mike's side? Maybe it's another performers amp at that festival who also had a 12xxx ?

Somewhere online there's a 1280x1024 of this shot that I saved as a bitmap file. Here's the 600x600 JPEG that I made from a section after magnifying a couple times. Any more and it would've been too blurry. Check it out and see what you think...

I don't think that's it. It's plugged into the angled, top cab that it's sitting on and that cab has plastic handles which I've don't think Ed used. It also looks like the power tubes have the spring keepers on them and Ed's amp didn't have those because I don't think they fit over the fat bottle Sylvannia 6CA7's. Plus the whole stack is facing away and off to the side, on the opposite side of Ed's side of the stage, if that makes any sense. :? :lol: I think that was just part of some other band's gear. 8)
