Effects Pedals used by Prince on Diamonds and Pearls
Avg price: $101.38
When it comes to effects, Prince seemed to like Boss Pedals. While it very well could be that Prince owns the entire Boss line of effects, he was commonly seen with a metal zone in the mid 90s. It was put in his pedalboard between his Diamonds and Pearls Tour and Act I& II Tour (support for Love Symbol Album) around 1992 until the late 90s it was spotted on his pedalboard on July 9th 1996 while he was performing for The Today Show on NBC. There was also a close up photo taken of his pedalboard in the mid 90s which the Boss Metal Zone MT-2 pedal is clearly seen.
Guitars used by Prince on Diamonds and Pearls
Avg price: $1,935.00
Prince played a Gibson Chet Atkins SST on the Diamonds and Pearls and Act I & II tours.
Sylvia Massey, sound engineer on Diamonds and Pearls, randomly brought her Gemini2 in one day, and she had a slew of other guitars for Prince to choose from. She was horrified when he picked it up as she hadn’t prepared it for playing but he loved the thing and used it on several tracks. In her words, a highly under-rated studio must-have.
