If SRV was alive today, what amp would he be playing?

SRV liked experimenting with different amp combinations, if he was alive today I think he might be playing a 65 Amp Royal Albert, this amp combines the tones of a Dumble (I actually got to play one once for about 2 hrs) and the best of Fender sounds. Tell what you think he would be playing.

His amp today would be one that let him install a bunch of 5751's in V1, V2, etc.

Hummm...a Tiny Terror would let him do that...

SLO-100.

Either that, or a vintage or signature Fender.

He would have moved on from guitar, and started to master the fine art of Jazz-Polka accordion. No need for amps.
