Santana's Bludotone amps

Post by M Fowler »

Vintage Guitar has a good article out about the two custom 100w Bludotone amps used in Carlos Santana's rig. Noting they are very consistent with the middle, highs and lows and real-lows.

The amps are off stage and speakers on stage. Using a Pete Cornish three way amp selector eliminating any ground loops.

Also another article on Keith Richard's Boogie Mark I

Good articles.
