I owned one and used it a few times with steel. But it didn't really suit the sound of the country classics we were covering. The AC30 has a lot of warm mid-range which makes it a really nice 6-string amp, and it would be equally as good with Lanois' expressive style of steel playing - harmonic distortion, overdriven sustain, and thick atmospheric chording.

The last time I saw him with his LDG, he was plugged into a Blues Junior. That was on a CBC Television SARS benefit, so it probably was backline. He's his own player for sure.
