OPRY Live Steel Setup

Caught this tonight. I think the masked man is Tommy. Curious about the multi amp rack behind the steel, the side facing monitor amp and the big cabinet to the right of the steel?

That multi head rack is indeed that...it has 4 or 5 amps to choose from; I believe they are mostly Webb and then you get the monitor designated for your signal and looks like nobody else is needing extra amp so it was nearer to Tommy. Looks like he also had an full Amp cabinet next to him; probably ran lap steel through it or his amp and he ran his lap through webb rack...so a multitude of selections for Tommy White seeing he was the ONLY REAL instrument on stage..ha...

Thanks, Ricky

What is the big Aguilar cab? You think the small Deluxe looking amp was for slide only?

I didn't get a chance to look/see very long...and it's still "LIVE" and I'm not of the liking of the music to sit and listen for any amount of time to see what amps are what...ha....
Sorry; that's best I can do, and only because I got to play the opry a few times and so I followed the changes and actually asked Tommy a few times what is what.

The "Live" show is now a replay, FWIW

Well that big cabinet thing(sorry I only really know Fender Twin and not up on any other amps by what they look like) is for maybe the acoustic guitar sound from lead singers?? Tommy was also playing Reso/Dobro; could be through that?? lap steel through Fender Deluxe??...The main thing I learned is there is something for everyone up there..and they move it all around for each show....but there are things that stay in normal use area....beyond that and knowing whos playing what and way....I don't know for each show; unless I was on staff there; and I live in Buda, Texas....ah....ha....so NOT STAFF.
