Kiss – Revenge

"I used a Gibson 1995 Cherry SG, and a 1980's BC Rich Koa Mockingbird and then my Gibson LP Jr from Kiss Revenge Tour was used as well as the Explorer that I did the clean Domino guitar parts on Revenge."

"Went back to the rhythm part and had a double with the PRS Silver McCarty axe through the big Marshall from the REVENGE days. Great sound now that we had the two big rhythms recorded."

"I went for a melodic nasty tone, which will remind you all of Revenge era KISS. Used my Gold Peavey Wolfgang and my Red ESP Vintage Plus."

Bruce used it to record Domino, Every tiem I look at you in the album "Revenge" when he was in Kiss

Bruce used this model whole "Revenge" tour (it was one of his most used models). Also used in a studio (songs "Paralyzed", "Seduction of the Innocent", "I Confess", "In the Mirror" and "I Walk Alone" by Kiss).

In this video Bruce talks about his black ESP Explorer from "Revenge" & "KISS Alive III" times

In this video Bruce told about his yellow Fender Stratocaster '89 which were used in Kiss song "God Gave Rock & Roll To You!"

"October’s KISS Guitar of the Month, is a beautiful white metal flake finish Custom M-1 ESP. It was first used for the HITS Tour, without the tortoise shell pick guard. By the time of the Revenge Tour, the guard was added. It features a chrome Floyd Rose, Duncan pickup, Rosewood fingerboard, and the large style “hockey stick” headstock from that era. Listen to the biting tone in my video, as heard on stage and in the studio (used on the song Unholy, Revenge LP) and featured as well on KISS Alive III. In many ways, its related my Banana M-1 from ESP as well. An excellent guitar that screams KISSTORY"

48st Custom anniversary guitar by ESP. It was made for Bruce Kulick and used by him in Hot In The Shade and Revenge tours (Kiss). Gained fame for the music video for the song God Gave Rock And Roll To You

"Revenge club tour photo! Same guitar as the Unholy video, a yellow Gibson V-90. One pickup. I let it go as it was missing some “tone”. Paul’s shirt was also from Unholy video! #kisstory #kissrevenge #paulstanley #brucekulick #genesimmons #ericsinger #gibson #flyingv"

"I brought my ancient EchoPlex, made by Maestro, and it is an old tube one. Got it when KISS was doing Revenge, as a studio called AMIGO was going out of business and they had a fire sale. Great find, as it is such a cool sound. Tubes make things warm and fuzzy we say, and it just gave that track a great tone."

"Jeremy and I set up some pedals and auditioned the various guitars. BTW, I broke out the old MXR distortion plus from REVENGE! The wah was my GEEK modified Hendrix pedal, and plugged into my old Marshall head." - also, when clicked on a photo, vintage MXR Distortion + can be seen indeed.

"If we played the song live, playing the solo would be torture for me. My new toy was the then fashionable Whammy by Digitech guitar pedal. I added it to my arsenal on the advice of producer Toby Wright because I was looking for a sound that would outperform the Revenge solo. COS was supposed to be darker, dirtier and heavier than Revenge. Fortunately, I found common ground with this pedal and used it to play octaves. The Sunburst ESP Horizon guitar with a Floyd Rose typewriter performed very well on the recording. The sound was just right, considering that the lyrics of the song Jin had one foot in hell, because the track was called "Hate"!"

In a YouTube video titled "Bruce Kulick ESP Guitars Demo" by buzzradio1, Bruce Kulick is shown performing "Domino" from the Kiss album "Revenge" at the ESP booth during the 2017 NAMM show. At 0:10 into the video, an Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini pedal can be clearly seen on the floor, confirming its use by Bruce.

Seen on Bruce’s recent simplified board. Used by him during all of his Kiss and solo career. Also at home practice.

[V.G.]: How are your guitars typically set up? Do you set up guitars based on what each is used for?

[B.K.]: I usually use S.I.T. .010-.046 gauge strings. Some guitars behave better tuned down a half-step; the only two tunings on my record are standard and down a half-step. I didn’t fool with open tunings. “Fate” is standard tuning with dropped D, and so is “No Friend Of Mine,” the song with Corabi. Gene’s and Nick’s songs are a half-step down, as are most of the songs where I use a Floyd Rose. Les Pauls can be tuned to anything, and the PRS guitars also behave in any key.

You have to use guitars that behave in the studio, because time is money. If they don’t play well at home, don’t take them to the studio.

I used .012s on the Martin and the Gibson Dove [Acoustics]. The Gibson LG-1 probably has a custom set of .011s because I use that guitar for riffs.

[V.G.]: What type of picks do you prefer?

[B.K.]: They’re .73-mm gray nylon Dunlops with the grip. They’re kind of like the old Hercos. I don’t use anything else for guitar. For bass, I may use something a little heavier, or play with my fingers.
