Verified via Mixdown Magazine

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!

This guitar was used on the “Let It Roll” album recording sessions -you can hear it soloed on the intro to “21st Century Honky Tonk American Band” plugged straight into my 1958 Fender Princeton. It's the greatest playing and sounding SG I’ve ever laid hands on.
