He used this little amp to record "Analog man", as said in this interview for Guitar World:

"'I found this little Fender amp called an FM15,' he says. 'It’s a digital amp with sampled amp tones. I’d come out of the headphone jack of that amp into a tube recording preamp and into a hard drive. Do that, and the Pro Tools sees tubes.'"
