In this Guitar Player interview from 1979, Paul mentions using the Ebow on his 1978 solo album titled Paul Stanley. Paul was asked, “Did you use special effects on the solo record?”
“I used the E Bow [Heet Sound Products, 611 Ducommun St., Los Angeles, CA 90012] on quite a few. I really found it incredibly useful. I don’t know how practical it is for live performing, because you can only utilize it on one string at a time, which really makes it a little difficult. Most of the time on Paul Stanley; when there was an E Bow there was really between three and six of them over-dubbed. They were on “Tonight You Belong To Me”; on the melodic line from the front of the heavy section, it’s not a keyboard, it’s the E Bows. On “Move On,” the next song, they come in around halfway through the solo; there’s about six of them there. And then on “Ain’t Quite Right,” they tend to give a certain kind of mood, like a haunting kind of sound. To me it’s something like an oboe, or a synthesizer crossed with an oboe, and I’ve been fascinated with sounds like that ever since I can remember.”

In this guitar player interview from 1979 Paul was asked, “What kind of amp are you using?”
“Marshall, a hundred-watt head. The people at Marshall have been really good to us for the most part. I think the days of equipment being given to you have passed. They don’t give us any stuff, but they service our equipment for us, and they keep everything in really good shape. Last year on tour I was using two stacks—two heads through either two bottoms or four bottoms, depending on the situation. For the biggest places I may have 10 or 15 hundred watt Marshalls with 20 Marshall speaker cabinets—four 12s in each.
“Are they stock?”
“Yes. They’re just really well kept. I’ve used the new Marshall heads, which have two inputs as opposed to four. I was using those on my new solo album. They sound very good.”
