Here's an excerpt from Siouxsie's interview with Gearphoria.com - Q. What is your ‘go to’ amp these days? Is it the 65 Amps Rocket 88? A. "Definitely the 65! That amp is my baby. It's huge-sounding and the tone is perfect for Dead Sara. We have many different sounding songs on the record. They vary from ballads like ‘Sorry For It All’ where I finger pick most of the song, to loud, heavy songs like ‘Weatherman’ and the 65 gives me that range of tone. I actually use the amp for tone more then I use pedals both live and on the record"
