Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp

Does anyone know what model McIntosh amp it was that Jerry used when he played live onstage? He sure seemed fond of it and I might like to play my guitar thru one as well. Thx, Gordon

All 4 amps ( at 48# each ) bolted to a sheet of plywood wall of sound is much much more than big amps and speakers, it was based on the idea of line arrays for each player and a special two Mike system ( with feedback cancelling phase control ) engineered by Alembic. I happen to agree on the early 70’s and I love Terrepin. I have a 1961 M240, which I treasure. happy listening all !
