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 Let Love Rule
Line 6 Flextone Plus 2x12" Combo Amplifier
In Lenny Kravitz’ 2001 interview in the Howard Stern show, he can (surprisingly) be seen playing a Line6 Flextone amplifier. Of all the vintage gear he owns, he chose that to bring to the studio. The amp can be seen clearly throughout most of the “Let Love Rule” birthday video as well as other videos of the same session (he did other songs, see below). Best shots of the amp: 0:33’-0:37’, 1:20’-1:23’, 2:07’-2:13’ (clearly in the background of bass closeup), 3:23 (background) , 3:25’ (overview shot), 3:48’-3:52’ (pan), 4:20’-4:22’, 4:47+ (several shots). Other songs performed with same amp: https://youtu.be/MasrXmEn1Zo (Are You Gonna Go My Way), https://youtu.be/w4gFbXFEU5s (Again).
