First post!
Here's a killer cut of AG playing live with LR. Seems like he is using a 65 or 130 2x10. How did he get that much gain from the amp (check his solo towards the end)? He was not a pedal user as far as I know.

IMO - Musicman amps have great gain.... not high gain (by today's standards), but great sounding - clear gain. Crank the volume to 8-10, and then turn up the the master for the correct volume. You need to radically change the tone controls when doing this... crank the highs and turn down the lows - mid to taste. Joan Jett used Musicman amps on most of her recordings (especially the early ones), and there was a canuck named Brian "Too Loud" McLeod that played with Chilliwack and the Headpins. His tones were incredible.... a Strat with a stacked humbucker, straight into an HD130.
I have a Sixty-Five 212 and I can easily get those tones (Joan Jett, Too Loud McLeod) pushing my amp.... set as described above.

What I found amusing is the guys comments about Andrew being a BETTER guitar player than Waddy. Geez, Waddy's an icon and studio player to the stars. Andrew IS good (RIP) but Waddy's the MAN! Mike.
More MM with Linda
Here's BOTH Waddy and Andrew playing what looks like twin 2-10's. Stop it at 1:27
