IT’S NO MYSTERY THAT TONE MONSTER
Warren Haynes consistently scores high in our
annual Readers’ Poll, and he keeps the ragin’
sounds blazing throughout guest spots, solo gigs,
his annual Christmas jam for charity, and his stints
with Gov’t Mule and the Allman Brothers Band.
This comparison of high- and low-end Haynes rigs
is based on the gear he was using at the time of
his December 2006 GP cover story (prices shown
are “street”).
