Stevie used Fender amps, amps created by Charlie Dumble, a Texas amp builder, and played Fender Strats. He called his recording studio amp setup 'the wall of doom' because there were so many different amps, and he kept his amp tech busy , as he stated, cause there wasn't a day that went by that he didn't have one blow up. His legendary sound also was created by his noted use of heavy gauge strings, not of the typical 9/42 or 10/46, but something like(trying to remember)12?/62 that coupled with his mid boosted sound presented a sound, like Stevie, was larger than life itself. He displayed a ferocity onstage, a true passion for the blues. I remember reading an article about his 'skin patches', where he would put super glue on his fingers and apply them to his forearm to literally 'patch' the tips of his fingers. He had finally come full circle, exorcised his demons, embraced sobriety, and was in the prime of his life, when it tragically ended.......RIP, SRV.......Tom

Are 13-56 strings too heavy to play solo's with?
For most people, 13-56 guage strings would be too heavy for soloing. The only person I know of who actualluy used strings that heavy was Stevie Ray Vaughn, because heavier guage strings give better sustain. He also tuned his guitar down a 1/2 step (to Eb tuning). The sustain is why you use a heavy guage string such as these on a lap steel.

What is the best amp able to give the the longest sustaining notes with minimal drive and a tone similar to early Stevie Ray Vaughan but a semi-clean sustain is a priority?
The best way to accomplish this is to find what kinds of "tricks" SRV used to achieve the sound he did. For example, he used two specific Fender amps patched together in "series", he used heavy guage strings (13's) like what you would use on a lap steel or steel guitar to get the sustain he wanted, and a couple of other little gimmics he liked to do. Try to find some info SRV, and do as much as you can of what he did.
