Leslie West SUNN AMP

[Dusk]

hello folks
please tell me which Sunn amp. did Leslie West of the band Mountain use.

I've read on Missippi Queen he used an old Sunn P.A. head cranked up full. Don't know about speaker cabs.

I have heard that Mountain used the 2000s.  I think i read it on Rich Briere's site.  ITS A VERY IN DEPTH LOOK AT SUNN HISTORY.

I don't think Leslie used Sunn, although Felix certainly did. Every time I've seen Leslie, with or without Mountain, he was stackin' it with Marshalls. I remember reading he used a Stramp amp for recording"Back in the Day." I think it was a little solid state job, cranked with his Les Paul Jr.

I saw mountain about a month ago and met Leslie after the show, I happened to be wearing a sunn shirt and one of the first things he said was that he used to use Sunn amps! also got Leslie and Corky to autograph my Gibson EB-1!!!!!

The use of the Coliseum PA head (tube) on Mississippiiiii Queen certainly gave Leslie that heavy thick midrange sound.  The tone controls, designed for PA/voice use push the crossover frequency up about an octave.
