=== Amplifiers and effects === Vaughan was a catalyst in the revival of vintage amplifiers and effects during the 1980s. His loud volume required powerful and robust amplifiers. Vaughan used two black-face [[Fender Super Reverb]]s, which were crucial in shaping his clear overdriven sound. He would often blend other amps with the Super Reverbs, including black-face [[Fender Vibroverb]]s,{{sfn|Hopkins|2011|p=326}} and brands including [[Dumble Amplifiers|Dumble]] and [[Marshall Amplification|Marshall]], which he used for his clean sound.{{sfn|Hopkins|2011|pp=326–327}} While an [[Ibanez Tube Screamer]] and a [[Vox (musical equipment)|Vox]] wah-wah pedal were his mainstay effects,{{sfn|Hopkins|2011|p=327}} Vaughan experimented with a range of effects. He used a [[Fender Vibratone]],{{sfn|Hopkins|2011|p=326}} designed as a [[Leslie speaker]] for electric guitars which provided a warbling chorus effect; it can be heard on the track "Cold Shot". He used a vintage Dallas Arbiter [[Fuzz Face]] that can be heard on ''[[In Step]]'', as well as an [[Octavia (effects pedal)|Octavia]].{{sfn|Hopkins|2011|p=327}} The Guitar Geek website provides a detailed illustration of Vaughan's 1985 equipment set up based on interviews with his guitar tech and effects builder, [[César Díaz (guitarist)|Cesar Diaz]].<ref>Cooper, Adam (2000).
