Amplifiers used by Dave Powys on At the Roadhouse
Fender 'Narrow Panel Tweed' Princeton Amp 5E2, 5F2, 5F2-A
Avg price: $1,400.00
In a 2023 interview with Mixdown Magazine, Dave Powys confirmed which guitar amps were used to record the Paper Kites’ sixth album At The Roadhouse:
Our producer/engineer Matt Redlich has a ‘58 Tweed Fender Princeton that just sounds so great when you plug straight in and dime it. I paired it with my ‘78 Silverface Princeton for some tracks, and for me, those amps were critical to my guitar tone on the album. The Greco ‘Beatle Bass’ was integral to the vibe, as was Sam’s ‘75 Martin D35. We tracked some mean organs through the old Leslie speaker too. So glorious!
