I must say up front that I don't have the definite answer, but; from back then to this very moment I have always been under the impression that at that particular time, Lloyd used a Fender Twin~Reverb, with a 15” JBL D–130 speaker! I'm speaking of the days of Kawlijah (sp)!

| Whatever it was, it was the best sounding steel tone on a live recording I've ever heard. |

A bit more trivia as told to me ( and others) by Loyd...
It was a brand new Fender Twin with 2x12 D120 JBL's. Loyd had requested an amp be rented for a him so he would not have to drag one along with him.
According to Loyd, he was extremely pleased with the amp and after the gig, he was sorry he didn't buy it.
So there ya have it..pure and simple...
It was a factory stock 2x12 JBL Black face Twin. And a good one at that...
And who said Fender didn't make a great Steel amp in the late 60's!
For my tastes, like many here, Loyd on this record , may be the single finest sounding Steel on record...I still consider the Panther Hall record to be one of the TWO most important Steel Guitar records to of all time...
Loyd told us the story of Panther Hall I think a year or so back at one of the Nashville Super jams...

| Anybody know of a CD of this for a good price. Surely someone has put this out on CD. |

I'm not exactly sure, but I thought it was actually a '68 silverfaced Twin with D120's. What a tone. The recording is such a classic. What's cool is that it was a 3 track recording. As simple as it gets. A stereo pair of mics to capture the stage sound, and a single channel for Charlie's voice. No mixing of the band other than how the actual players mixed themselves on stage. No close mic's on any instruments. Real, pure, live music.
