AC/DC: Wait....what?!

This was posted on Christmas and I just got around to watching this. What struck me was the number of times and amount of Marshall heads that are thrashed to keep things going for the stage. I think the tech says he has about 63 heads as an arsenal, and that they employ a full-time amp tech on the road. They get 3 to 4 shows per head.

"I want Angus Tone!"
"Good luck kid"

They pretty much bought Marshall's quarterly production quota as disposable heads lol

Yeah pretty much the "effects" they use is a wireless. Thats it lol the Mutt Lange Back In Black story is allegedly true and it was Schaefer wireless who built a preamp wireless that well, wasnt a wireless at all really, for Angus to get his live sound in the studio.

AC/DC has the simplest guitar rig if you look it up : Marshall JTM45/1987x/1959SLP reissues rotated depending on the venue, into 25w Greenback Cabs, thru a wireless, amp splitter and into the guitars ( Gibson SGs and Gretsch Duo Jet double cutaways). The Rocktron Hush was added in recent years but thats it
