I find this sort of funny. What's more rockin' than ONE amp? Jett does it one better. But no pedals, just two amps.

Also this is a more recent article, not sure what she used in the 80's. I sort of doubt she frequents TGP looking for boutique pedals though.

In the 80's Joan used a Music Man HD-130 2 x12" combo. Sometimes on top of a closed back 2 x12" Music Man extension cab.
No pedals.
