I thought Knopfler pretty much nailed the MFN sound live. He had a Pete Cornish system combining more than one amp, cabinet and some pedals. Don't know which set-up went into the MFN sound though.
One thing that wasn't accidental.......
Knopfler and Dorfsman realising the guitar sound was the one, despite the unorthodox mic positioning.
