Well, many amp tones on records are processed, sometimes to the point they don't sound much like the original at all. EQ, compression (full range or multiband), reverb, and so on. This whole song is mixed to sound very low fidelity, which makes pinpointing a make and model even harder. I think what we're saying is that it's a simple, small amp with a fair bit of studio "stuff" done to the sound to help it fit the mix.

The distorted tone does bear a resemblance to some of Keith Richards' sound, and he's a fan of small tweeds like the Champ in the studio. That sound is mostly power amp distortion from being cranked up loud.
