Questions

About Alice In Chains's gear.

What bass does Mike Inez play?

Two Warwick Streamer Stage I basses, including the beat-up 1991 Moon Burst one Ozzy bought him, plus a Spector NS-2 for drop-D and a Warwick Starbass II. He runs Ampeg SVT-2PRO and vintage SVT heads into SVT-810E cabinets with a Tech 21 SansAmp.

What strings and picks does Mike Inez use?

Dean Markley Blue Steel strings, .050 to .105, and Dunlop Tortex Pitch Black 1.0mm picks. He has said picking very hard is part of his tone.

What gear does Jerry Cantrell use live?

His 2024 board centers on his Dunlop Firefly Cry Baby wah, an MXR Timmy, Ibanez TS808HW, Strymon Ola, Boss CE-5 and DD-500, MXR EVH Flanger, Poly Blue Octave and Smart Gate, powered through a Fryette Two/Ninety/Two.

What does William DuVall play?

He calls himself an amp and guitar guy more than a pedal guy, but has praised the MXR Carbon Copy delay. In 2019 he took a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic on the road.
