Frank Marino was my second concert.  He opened for Nazareth, but I actually went for Frank.  I was listening to him when I was 15 or 16.

I was fortunate enough as a young man to have my sister introduce me to Frank backstage at a show in the old Veterans Memorial Coliseum in PHX, AZ, back in about 1980-81. After a brief yet subdued chuckle, the dude was totally cool to this bug-eyed, tongue-tied, fan boy who soon after couldn't help blurting out questions about his gear. That was the day I first learned about the LPB (linear power booster) as Frank explained how he used them to get his 'sound' from the Ampeg amps he was using at the time. Fun stuff!

I never noticed before that it looks like an HSS setup on his SG.

Nope.  It's SSS, with the bridge pickup reverse-slanted.  You can catch a glimpse at 3:11 in "The Answer" video above.  Total Hendrix setup, routed into an SG.
