Myles Kennedy – The Art Of Letting Go

Extract from the interview: “I do have an OX. I didn't use it that much, I actually use that right now as a power soak more than anything so I can crank up my old Fenders. On the demos, really the only guitar sound I kept gravitating towards was UA’s ‘55 Deluxe plugin. And it’s an amazing plugin, it sounds just like an old [Fender] Deluxe.

"So what was interesting was I listened to the demos and I really liked the way that kind of amp sounds with these songs, so I went on a hunt for that particular era of Deluxes. I think it’s the 5E3 circuit. It’s very simple but it’s such an incredible sound. There’s a reason Billy Gibbons uses those and so many guys gravitate towards those amps.

“So I found one of those, my buddy Bobby at River City Guitars, I said, “Hey man I’m looking for one of these amps, can you round one up for me?” He found one that was in a studio over in Seattle and it’s pretty much the sound of this record.”

Myles Kennedy uses the Mythos Pedals Argo Octave Fuzz as a crucial element in his sound for the album "The Art of Letting Go." In an article by Matt Owen for Guitar World, Kennedy discusses his search for a standout fuzz pedal, stating, "I went in there and I was like, ‘I need a really good fuzz.’ And they had this pedal there," highlighting the importance of this gear in his music.

In the video titled "Myles Kennedy On His New Album | The Art Of Letting Go | Songs & Studio Guitar Rig," produced by Thomann's Guitars & Basses on YouTube, Myles Kennedy mentions at the 17:15 mark that he likes to use the J Rockett Audio Designs Chicken Soup OD pedal to enhance the tones of his Telecaster guitar. Additionally, this pedal is visible on his pedal board in the PMT rig rundown video.
