Topic: Amps being used on Blues Deluxe album

Okay, so I did a search, but as you can imagine "blues" "deluxe" and "amp" came up quite a lot and as far as I could see none of the results answered my question, which is...

What amps was Joe using on the Blues Deluxe album?

Specifically with his Strats?

Thanks guys...

Guitars: Fender American Original 60s Strat, Fender American Vintage 52 Tele, Gibson Les Paul Traditional
FX: Various including - Ceriatone Centura, Fire Custom Shop Carpe Diem
Amp: Fender ML212 Deville + 212 extention cabinet

Dunno if this'll help.  I found it using a web search (not a forum search), that sent me to the following thread.

I know the video referenced is gone from YouTube, but there's other descriptive gear info.

Play like you've worked at it, and don't worry about sounding like your influences.  You can't cheat on them, or your practice, anyway.  If you've worked hard at your skill, your audience will know it.

Re: Amps being used on Blues Deluxe album

I read an article a while back and Joe said he primarily used fender amps. A Princeton reverb and I think a twin reverb

My advice is look in the cd insert.  Back then Joe used to tell ever piece of gear used on a song in the track titles.

Thanks, but I bought the album on iTunes and it didn't come with an electronic version of the CD insert unlike some of his newer albums.
