Topic: Bus Interview Tone?

On the live at Albert Hall DVD special features bus interview Joe is playing a Marshall Class 5. I have the little amp myself and love it. I hear some reverb and overdrive and curious as to how he's getting that?  Is it just reverb added during production? He gets some sizzle from the amp that i can't get at that volume without an overdrive like my Timmy pedal.  Any thoughts?  maybe using the headphone jack back into the speaker like some do?

I agree - I absolutely LOVE the sweet tone Joe gets in the bus interview. It sounds like some reverb was added in after I am not sure... I would really like to know the settings he had going on there

At one point, well into the interview, he starts talking when he's playing and you can hear some reverb on his voice.  My guess is that it was added afterward.  -S.
