Is it even mic'd? I can't tell from these low res pics. If it's not, it has nothing to do with what you were hearing.

What Ampeg cabinet is John Taylor using on Austin City Limits?

@Fred from Peavey has mentioned several times that John uses a custom made Trace Elliot 8x10 cabinet.
Maybe the customisation is that it wears Ampeg branding...

The one at my rehearsal space very definitely does not have handles on the side, if i didn't make it clear enough. Possibly some do, some don't.
IMHO, I would put my money on it being an 8x10" when comparing the picture of John Taylor (6'+) and the Saxophone player right next to the cabinet.
The Sax player is no more than (5' 10") and the 48" cabinet is midway up his right arm. I'd say there is about +/-18" to the top of the Sax players head.

I found this on YouTube to kind of compare Ampeg cabinets:
And then look at the cabinet again on the Duran Duran video @ 6:29 into the video, that Ampeg cabinet looks wider than the other video above I posted:
Maybe I'm going crazy, I am going to be 60 years old in a few days so maybe I've lost my marbles!!!!
