The Cranberries – Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?

Used for vocals and guitar on "Linger", as mentioned by producer Stephen Street in this March 2018 Sound on Sound interview.

Even though signed to Island, the Cranberries were still working with a limited budget on the album sessions, meaning that the acoustic guitar part on 'Linger' was recorded with the nearest instrument to hand: namely a cheap Yamaha acoustic owned by O'Riordan. "Sometimes when I was working with alternative or indie bands," says Street, "you just had to work with what you had. If there was a budget to hire more guitars, great. But I don't think we had that at that point. Especially being over in Dublin at the time, we did just work with the guitars they owned.

"I would put a Neumann U87 in front of the guitar, between the 12th fret and the hole. And sometimes I might have something like a KM84 further up towards the neck, just to see if it put a little bit of extra 'air' into it. Sometimes I would split those separate tracks a little bit in the mix, so although it was just one guitar, it gave it a little bit of spread across the stereo image."

(...) "The trusty old workhorse most of the time was the U87," Street remembers. "Dolores was a very shy girl at this point. I was just beginning to win her confidence. I remember when we did the very, very first vocal sessions together on this record, she was wanting her boyfriend at the time to be there in the control room (laughs). I said, 'Look, it's not really how it works. Y'know, when you're working with me as a producer, you've got to trust my judgement, not your boyfriend's judgement as to whether the take is good or bad.'"

In a live video from October 29, 1993, featuring The Cranberries' debut appearance on US television, Dolores O'Riordan can be seen playing a Yamaha APX600. This performance, uploaded by steelygray on YouTube, includes the song "Linger" from the album "Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?"

Mentioned in this June 28, 2019 Music Radar interview about the recording of In the End.

DOD FX68 Chorus

“I don’t use a lot of pedals, but I have this old DOD chorus. It’s cheap as anything, but it became very much a part of The Cranberries sound and it’s on every album we’ve ever done.”

It is also mentioned on page 32 of the June 1999 issue of Guitar Player and this March 2018 Sound on Sound interview about the recording of "Linger".

"I had a DOD Chorus pedal that I still use to this day. It was the very first pedal I bought and it's still in my rig because it has a setting on it that is very much the Cranberries' sound."

Hogan mentioned that this was his first guitar during the interview.
