Used on "Let love rule", according to this interview for Guitar World:
"I love the guitar tone on your early albums, like Let Love Rule and Are You Gonna Go My Way. What was your setup in the studio on those records? — Grayson Malloy
On Let Love Rule, it was primarily a tweed Fender Deluxe cranked to 10. When you turn that amp all the way up, it compresses itself and makes this beautiful tone. That’s pretty much the dirty sound on the album. I think I also had a Fender Twin Reverb for the cleaner stuff.
The guitar, for the most part, was actually an Epiphone Sorrento."
Amplifiers used by Lenny Kravitz on Are You Gonna Go My Way
Gibson GA-5T Skylark (1965-1967)
Kravitz used a Skylark during the recording of "Are you gonna go my way", according to this Guitar World interview.
"...But on that song [“Are You Gonna Go My Way”] in particular I used a Gibson Skylark, a little tiny amp that has the most brilliant sound. And the guitar was a Les Paul—not the Flying V that’s in the video. Oddly enough, I’ve never used a V in the studio, even though I’m so associated with that guitar."
