Guitars used by Soccer Mommy on Sometimes, Forever

Acoustic-Electric Guitars

Gibson LG-2

Avg price: $2,615.20

On Sometimes, Forever Allison alternated between her reliable Strat, a ’94 Custom Shop model, plus two custom Novo Serus Js, alongside acoustic tracking with a 1964 Gibson LG-2 and a few interjections from her Jaguar. With two lead players in her band – Julian Powell and Rodrigo Avendano – Allison studiously handled a lot of rhythm work and limited her gear in pursuit of consistency. “I was keeping it pretty similar to kind of pull the sound together a little bit,” she says.

Amplifiers used by Soccer Mommy on Sometimes, Forever

Combo Guitar Amplifiers

Roland JC-40 Jazz Chorus

Avg price: $690.32

(Though the model is unspecified, Soccer Mommy regularly uses smaller JC-40 amps instead of JC-120.)

Allison and Lopatin also avoided going down the DI route, instead using a tour-tested combination of a Fender Princeton, a Silvertone amp and a Roland Jazz Chorus, which was employed for a lot of the acoustic flavours. “I didn’t want to rent a bunch of things because I think the goal for this album was to capture what we actually sound like playing together,” Allison says. “We click and that’s something that I personally think is really fun to hear, when you can tell that the band is playing off each other.”
