Mississippi Queen? I don't think of a cowbell, I think of this (from my own collection):

To be fair, West didn't use a Marshall. He was waiting for his Marshalls to arrive and didn't get them in time so he was forced to use the ungodly, thunderously loud Sunn Coliseum PA Amplifier through his Marshall cabinets. And the Sunn Coliseum, which just might be the loudest guitar amplifier ever produced by this now-defunct company, went on to be part of Leslie West's signature sound.

But he most certainly used a Gibson Les Paul Junior!

How do you know this about West’s use of a Sunn Coliseum PA Amp, vs the Marshall ‘he was waiting for”? Did you work with this group at some time? That’s some very specific insider knowledge you’ve displayed. You sound to be someone who either has performed or knows how to select the proper sound equipment.
