His main amp is a modified Tweed Deluxe, although he uses a Magnatone in conjuction with it. I'm not sure if he had the Magnatone back then. He uses an old Fender reverb unit and I think the low end narliness can be attributed to an octave divider kind of thing that adds a low note (that's especially apparent on the Arc/Weld CDs). There's some echo in there as well, I think.
It's hard to say if I would call that flubby; it's loose but controlled.

I love that Neil Young sound...but I have never read any specs on "that sound". Fender amps seem to get all the glory, but for the average joe, that dense, saturated, compressed tone sounds a lot like an EH Big Muff and a good amp.

As Falstaff mentioned, I've always been told that it was a Fender Deluxe. His guitar of choice is an old Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty I believe, and his tech says he won't let him clean up the crackle and pop from the old pots, and crumby wiring. Word has it that the album / sound gave rise to the Grunge movement of the early "90's.

Actually. Neils LP of choice is a 1956 or there about Goldtop that he painted black and that has a mini humbucker in the bridge and a P-90 in the neck.
I read somewhere he finally found another GT that he liked and had his tech paint that one black to back up his #1.
