Amplifiers used by Joe Walsh on Analog Man
Fender FM 15 DSP Frontman Combo Amplifier
He used this little amp to record "Analog man", as said in this interview for Guitar World:
"'I found this little Fender amp called an FM15,' he says. 'It’s a digital amp with sampled amp tones. I’d come out of the headphone jack of that amp into a tube recording preamp and into a hard drive. Do that, and the Pro Tools sees tubes.'"
He used this amp for the recording "Analog Man". As said in interview for Vintage Guitar:
"How about amplifiers?" (...) "The other thing I found is a little Fender modeling amp called an SM-15. It’s got a 10? speaker. I don’t like modeling amps for recording – they sound good in a room, but when it’s playback time, they sound digital. So I came out of the headphone jack and went into an ART tube preamp and pushed that pretty hard, then put that into the computer, so the computer actually sees tubes, like a buffer. I had really good luck with it."

"Which guitars did you use on the album?"
"Well, let’s see. There’s some new guitars being made, that Mike Campbell from Tom Petty’s band introduced me to – Duesenbergs. I have a couple of ’em – a Double Cat and a DTV Outlaw. They’re like a Les Paul, but a hollowbody with their own vibrato tailpiece. I’ve got one of the radical ones, and it’s pretty nice. They wind their own pickups, which are great, and record great."
