Amplifiers used by John Frusciante on Unlimited Love
Marshall JMP 2204 Mk II Master Lead 50w
Avg price: $2,100.00
During the first few live shows after Unlimited Love has released, you can see that instead of using his Silver Jubilee, John Frusciante opted for a Marshall JMP 2204 head to pair with his Marshall Major. You can get a clear look at it at 5:04, and you can differentiate it from the JMP 2203 by the smaller logo and the more squared off EQ cutout.
Microphones used by John Frusciante on Unlimited Love
Shure BLX14 BLX Wireless Guitar System
Avg price: $310.40
John Frusciante has been using the Shure BLX14 BLX Wireless Guitar System since his return to the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2022 during the Unlimited Love era. This equipment choice is evident in live photos from various tours since 1998, where he is consistently seen without traditional guitar cables, opting instead for the practicality and comfort of different wireless setups. The transmitter of this system operates solely on batteries. The proof of this can be seen in the image available on Equipboard.
