Closer examination shows that during the filming of the Rock and Roll Circus, Keith had his Triumph Silicon 100 amp jumpered to a Solid State guitar head (model unknown) played through a 1 x 18" bass cabinet (either a Dynamic or a Foundation) with its characteristic "luggage rack" head stand. Keith was also photographed using this same rig in rehearsals around September/October 1968. This was originally thought to be Bill's amplifier at the Rock and Roll Circus, but it appears that Bill was actually going through a direct box into a Sound City stack.

  

A clarification should be added. On page 630, we state that The Stones were using a mostly Marshall back line, when they were actually using Hiwatts. The important part is that they were still using an A.C.30 even after switching to bigger, more powerful amps. In fact, in an interview in Beat Instrumental, Ian Stewart reported that A.C.30's were used for the recording of Let It Bleed.

 

A.C.10 - (Added 12-01-08)

Additional amplifiers in the database have allowed us to close the gap between the TV front A.C.10 and the Split-front design. The gap occurred between amplifiers # 3319 and #3393.

 A.C.100 - (Added 01-05-09)

A.C.100 #212 has just been added to the database. Being a thin sided cabinet, this narrows the transition from the thin to the thick cabinet to between #s 212 and #221
