Rory Gallagher’s Ampeg VT-22

Rory started using an Ampeg VT-22 amp for live performances sometime around 1978. He had the amp linked to an Ampeg VT-40.

As for amps, I still hear the old Vox AC30 in my head, though I’ve experimented with Marshall 50W combos and I have a couple of old “Tweed” Fender amps that I have a go on from time to time. I’ve also tried some of the Ampeg combos, like the VT40 and VT22. They’re great, but I do love the AC30.
