Jeff Buckley’s Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Trem-o-verb Combo

Used most notably during the Live in Chicago and Live at Glastonbury concerts in 1995, this Mesa Boogie combo amp appeared alongside Jeff’s Fender Vibroverb ’63 Reissue, which was his main amp even in earlier years. It’s unclear exactly how Jeff used the Mesa Boogie—whether as a dedicated “dirty sound” amp or simply as a backup in case the Vibroverb failed.

That said, considering that Michael Tighe—Jeff’s guitarist—used the exact same Mesa Boogie model along with a matching Fender Vibroverb, it’s likely the band acquired a pair of each amp for both guitarists to use throughout the Grace tour.
