Hunter Thompson

I played a tonne of guitars on the album. I used my 2018 Fender Professional Telecaster a bunch, and this really cool Gretsch; I messed with that a little bit.

We have our pedalboards that we pretty much use for everything; we don’t have a lot of diversity. Like for Real Long Time, I used a cool ’61 Fender Bassman amp that the studio had.

I used a Box of Rock ZVEX distortion pedal. Sometimes I use a RimRock Effects Mythical Overdrive, and an MXR Carbon Copy delay. Tony pretty much uses the same thing. There’s a little bit of delay pretty much always on there, for better or worse.

It’s pretty straightforward rock stuff: it’s all about game staging and getting the amp to sound as best as possible for us. It’s what distortion is going to give the best, cleanest sound that works with the amp and that’s not a synthetic, hyper-gain, Metal Zone-sound but has some characters from the natural elements of the amp. We both use Vox AC30s live but for the record, I used the ’61 Bassman most of the time.
