Man that thing sounds great.

Just to clarify the discussion here - it is well known that Keith Richards uses a pair of 1959 Fender Twin amp onstage. These are the high powered 80 watt Tweed Twins that use four 5881 power tubes and a GZ34 rectifier (not the dual rectifier tubes of the earlier 50 watt model). These babies will run you about $30K apiece if you can find one - Buddy Holly was another fan of this particular model. - Jim C

Got lots of reactions on the comment I posted a year ago. After further investigation it may be the case that the amp has two rectifier tubes and two power amp tubes. I'm not really shure anymore. Besides that, someone pointed to me that the AC30 also deserves it;s name in the hale of fame, so the only thing in my post that holds up is: KEITH RULES! lol

@Honeythebeebee You may be right. I thought it was a single rectifier with four power amp tubes, but now I doubt about that.

Keith Richards employing Ceramic magnet speakers. Well knock me over with a feather! Come to think of it, Keith's rig on that fabled '69 tour probably had it's fair share of Ceramic magnet pickups and speakers ie., Dan Armstrong guitar's P/Us were Ceramic and those Ampeg speakers if new-were likely Ceramic magnet also. It ain't the arrow, it's the Indian.

It's a indeed a high power twin (4 power amp tubes). Not sure how this vid was recorded, but it does not represent Keith's live sound. On this threat someone stated that the Stones do not sound 'studio' in a live setting and i am glad they don't. Been to a Dire Straits concert once it was just if you were listening to cd at home. That is an achievement, but the whole ambience was dead, awful! Like them, hate them, Fender Tweeds are the basis to all guitarsounds today! Keith rules!

As you said "minus the fact it's not him playing"; the rig is only gear, important yes, but it's the player that makes the sound!
