Johnny Hilland & Redd Volkaert

From Vintage Guitar, April 2003 in an interview with Johnny Hilland:
"So I didn't find out about tone until I heard Redd Volkaert play. His tone was so fat and full. He played a Tele with three little Boss Pedals - a CS-3 Compressor Sustainer, a Blues Driver and an Analog Delay. He had a little Music Man 1x12 130-watt amp and his tone was just fabulous!
Well, the Peavey ended up dying on me. I also had a DigiTech RP10 foot processor. But then I found out that this wasn't the way tone was really devised; when you hear Jimmy Bryant, you hear a straight Fender amp and a Tele.
So I called Redd and asked if he had an amp for sale. He had another Music Man just like the one he was using, so I bought it from him. I also bought a Tele for 300 bucks that really didn't play worth anything, but I plugged it in and immediately said, "Oh man, there's that fat sound!". Adding a little compressor really fattened it up, like Volkaerts tone"
I am not sure what model he was talking about... I have never seen a 112-130! Perhaps it was a 112-65 with an HD130 chassis in it or some such hybrid.

I saw a James Taylor music video on VH1 Classics last night. Waddy Wachtel was on guitar. A stack of MM equipment was briefly visible a couple of times. Looked like 410's, but it is hard to be sure.

I believe Redd uses an RD100...he also uses D130 JBLs...

I should have included the RD100 in my guesses above! I have a 112RD-100 and its a great amp!
