Amplifiers used by Steve Sladkowski on THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND

Combo Guitar Amplifiers

Fender 'Silverface' Vibrolux Reverb (1970-1980)

Avg price: $1,305.00

As far as amplification goes, on the last record, I used a modified Fender Vibrolux reissue. We ran it super hot in the studio — sometimes running it for eight to ten hours a day — but I found that, while the response I was getting was great in a controlled studio environment, the 2×10? speakers just weren’t powerful enough in a live setting.

Guitars used by Steve Sladkowski on THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND

Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars

Gibson ES-125

Avg price: $1,900.00

Used on Pup's 2022 album, "THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND", namely on the song "Waiting" (according to the November 2022 Guitar World interview).

At times, Sladkowski would play through the same pedal chain as the studio’s Moog synth, or make loops in his bedroom, then pipe them into the live room. Other times, he’d double electric parts with a hollowbody, as on the massive “Waiting,” which includes a ’62 Gibson ES-125 shadowing his normal Jazzmaster, lending the verses additional rhythmic punch, room sound and color as the tension climbs.
