I'm pretty sure that BD was still using his Giuliano Vulcan at the
time, with a Les Paul as a backup.  He had a bunch of stuff stolen a
while back, so the time frame is somewhat critical.  Back then,
Buck changed amps a lot, but I'm pretty sure he was using Boogies
around that time.  Possibly Marshalls.  Not a lot of outboard gear,
maybe just a little delay.  In the '90s, he used an ART power Plant
as a preamp, but I don't think he had that unit for ETL--probably just
the Boogie's natural distorion.
