Guitars
“I find that the SG is the most versatile guitar in my whole arsenal.”
“It looks like a disco ball and I just knew it would look great with my wardrobe and our lights.”
“I’d been playing my custom guitar that [Mike] Delaney had built for me”
“I also used a Stogie Box Blues four-string cigar box guitar and layered over it.”
“But I will say when you plug it in the thing just has so much gas.”
Recording
“I know I used an old Supro at one point, which was cool.”
Amps
“But I used a Fender Deluxe on almost every song and rhythm track.”
“I used Supers a lot live, but honestly, these days I am preferring the Deluxe no matter what.”
Pedalboard
“Then I go into a tuner, a [TC Electronic] PolyTune; you know, it works.”
“Then I go into an Analog Man King Of Tone, which is probably my favourite, heaviest-relied-upon pedal. It sounds like a tube amp.”
“it’s the MC5 drive pedal my tour manager gave me because we play Kick Out the Jams.”
“My next one would be the JHS Mini Foot Fuzz, this tiny little fuzz pedal that sounds crazy.”
“I go into the MXR Carbon Copy analogue delay, which is also a favourite.”
“Then we go into the [Boss TR-2] Tremolo, which is a new one for me.”
