Steve
used these Carvin amplifiers not only throughout the Alcatrazz tour,
but also with Frank Zappa in the early 80's. The output is switchable
60W/100W. The upper two are connected to a Roland SDE-3000 digital
delay, the bottom Carvin is a spare in case either of the other
two stopped working during a show.
Steve's rack from Alcatrazz included 2 Roland SDE-3000 delays, a
Lexicon PCM60 digital reverb, a 6-channel mixer and a Mutron Bi-Phase
pedal.
Steve's pedalboard soon grew into this one, featuring the same pedals
as above (right), but without the custom clean/dirty switch, and
adding 2 DC-8 switching units and a delay hold pedal.

Steve's
Alcatrazz touring guitars included the blonde Fender Stratocaster
that Steve used throughout the Zappa years, a DeMini electric, a
Performance Custom hand-built by Steve and the Jerry Jones coral
sitar (which belonged to Frank Zappa). These Marshall amps were
wired to his wireless system.
Steve has been using Carvin for years, and was one of their first
major endorsers. These cabinets were customized with green grille
covers (green covers were also on his custom cabinets on the Fire
Garden tour).
A very simple pedalboard consisting of a BOSS SD-1 Super Overdrive
pedal, a Carvin footswitch used to control his amplifier, a custom-made
clean/distortion switch and a Crybaby wah pedal.
