What Amp(s) Is Doobie Brother Tom Johnston Using?

[STRATDELUXER97]

I'm an avid Doobie Brother music listener(Have been since the 70s)....I bought the 2004 Doobie Brothers dvd "Live At the Wolf"....I Love Tom's tone,especially at the soloing at the end of "Clear As The Driven Snow"....I see every guitar player using Mesa 4x12 cabs,but I don't see any amps on stage behind Tom,Pat,or John?

Tom was a big user early on of the Mesa Mark 1 stuff because they were based out of California...Wondering if I'm still currently hearing the Mesa amp tone,but with a PRS now instead of the Gibson 335,SG,and Les Pauls he played in the 70s? He's a great guitar player with great tone and great chops....Very underated....

Anyone have any scoop on specifically Tom's amps?

Go out and get this DVD if you are a fan of the Doobie Brothers! It's excellent...

Myself and no one else knows either on this one? Bummer....

Wish I could help, John, but I don't know either. The Doobies and Steely Dan, (both featuring Jeff Baxter on lead guitar), are my two favorite bands.

I'll never forget when I saw them in Ohio, many moons ago. Jeff played the whole gig sitting in a basic dining-room-table chair, wearing headphones.

Pretty weird . . . but he played great.
