Fender '65 Twin Resissue, Dual Showman And '66 Pro Reverb; Sunn Amps Scepter: The Black Angles Know Their Vintage Amps

May 06, 2008
The Fender Amps of Austin's Black Angels

Christian Bland (his real name) and Kyle Hunt (obviously not his real name) of the Austin, TX band The Black Angels were more than happy to show off their amp collection to GW's Patrick Ogle. The Black Angels' sound is dark, psychedelic and spooky, so it's no wonder they favor lush-sounding late 60s Fender tube combos like Kyle's 66 Pro Reverb.

Kyle's also got a sweet 2x12 cabinet that he, apparently, pilfered, using as a getaway vehicle his skateboard. I'm guessing he stole it from some Foot Clan warriors who don't know a THING about rock!
