I'm pretty sure Duane uses (and swears by) Soldano SLOs.

That's a joke right? Duane died decades before the Soldano SLO was invented. :laugh2:

That's ****ie Betts on Ramblin Man...probably a 50's gold top Les Paul with alnico 2 (or maybe alnico 5) original Gibson pafs.

I know the Allman Bros. of that time favored 50 watt small box Marshall heads and open back 4 x 12 Marshall bottems with JBL's D120's.

There is a clip of a guy on the LPF playing ABB tunes through a Pro Reverb with JBL's and it's something else. Then again, I think the same guy sounded very ABB through a Blues Junior (w/ JBL), so maybe it's in the hands.
