Peter Frampton

Early in this Rig Rundown, Frampton discusses his red 1955 Strat. 11:21 in the video.

Peter Frampton plays a Gibson ES-335 guitar. "This just happens to be one of those, you know, you can have three of the same [guitar] lined up, same year, same month, whatever, there will just be one that's streaks above the others," he said at (4:56).

It could be a 1964 Gibson ES-335, according to Guitar World.

But on numbers I’ve done since, I have the ’64 ES-335 Gibson, the Freddie King year, which is an incredible guitar. “If I could only have one guitar other than the Custom, that would be it. A 335 just about covers every aspect of what a guitarist does. It’s not a Fender, but I don’t use Fenders that much – I’m a humbucker guy.”

"This, I've got the Foxx Tone Machine, which I've had for years. This is a newer one, but I just Foxx, and I love that just for one "Hendrix-ey". The octave that goes just to the sky, you know. It's very beautiful. So, very thin sound, but It's a beautiful, especially with a delay on it or something like that." - Frampton about Foxx Tone Machine.

"And this is another one. So I have one (Mu-Tron III) set on going the low octave, and one (this one) on the high octave. They're different era pedals, but they're gonna work for what they're selected for."

Peter Frampton talks about his signature Framptone Talkbox in this video at (9:45). "1973, I just messed around with it for awhile and started using it live on 'Do You Feel' just in the end section there, and it was really effective. I mean, it's a real simple gadget," he said.

Peter Frampton talks about his customized 1954 Gibson Les Paul, dubbed the "Phenix", in this video.

"But also, I love the Fulltone OCD, which is always in here, too." - Frampton about Fulltone OCD at 51:35 minute mark.

"Oh, and here's the MXR. I have bought vintage, as you can see. Very used. Original MXR, kind of like the one I would've probably had for Frampton's Camel." - Frampton about MXR Phase 90.

Peter Frampton uses a 100w JMP Marshall from the 1970s as his main amp. "It's got an extra tube in there for some extra overloading situation for some nice distortion there," he said at (1:35).

Peter Frampton's 1954 Les Paul Custom, recreated to match its current day condition, over thirty years after surviving a plane crash. The same guitar featured on Frampton's Double Live album and was returned to him in 2012. This limited edition of 35 guitars heavily aged by Tom Murphy, is created based on the very same Les Paul Custom that Peter now (again) tours and records with as his number one.

In his Marshal arsenal, Frampton has Marshall Superlead amplifier. This one was modded by Jose Arredondo, with master volume and effects loop included.

On Twitter from Eventide, they shared this post showing the pedalboard from Peter Frampton. Two units of Eventide H9 can be seen on the pedalboard.

Peter also retweeted the post and said:

For me, you need less on a pedal board because of the depth of the H9s. Love 'em!

As seen in this Private Gear tour video with Peter Frampton at (1:08), the guitar player plays through Fender Bassman head for his clean tones.

Frampton's guitar tech mentions Frampton's Alesis Q20 at 1:11 in this video.

"I've got the Klon Centaur that I've had for years and love it. It's just the one for me. It works for me." - Frampton about Klon Centaur at 51:00 minute mark.

"This one is an old Boss chorus, the original one, and it's on its last leg, but it still sounds good. And that, I use for another, I think 20 seconds, I use it on the E-Bow intro to "Black Hole Sun". It just makes it a little mysterious sounding. So, everything's for a reason." - Frampton about Boss CE-1.

At 11:40 in Frampton's Rig Rundown, he mentions the 1955 Fender Champ he bought with his red Strat.

On XTS's website, they shared photos of pedalboard they built for Peter Frampton. Crowther Hotcake can be seen to the left of Klon Centaur on pedalboard.

On Twitter from Eventide, they shared this post showing the pedalboard from Peter Frampton. Dunlop Echoplex delay can be seen on the pedalboard.

Peter Frampton uses a Digitech Whammy pedal on his auxiliary pedalboard, as seen in this video at (3:05). "It's a very nice pedal, it's got a very nice different sort of sound," Frampton said.

According to Peter Frampton, "the Gig-FX Mega Wah is very cool because you can control it very easily...and it has a backwards sort of sound, a trigger sound, a crybaby sound, but it can be automated too," he said at (3:30).

Peter Frampton also uses a 1960 Reissue Gibson Les Paul. "It's one of my treasures, I love this one," Frampton said at (4:20).

Peter Frampton uses a Gig-FX Pro Chop, as seen in this interview at (3:10). It's "a very nice effect...chops the sound off for a long chord or something," he said.

Peter Frampton is listed as an artist who uses the Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive pedal, according to the Seymour Duncan website.

According to Premier Guitar's rig rundown, Frampton uses Egnater M4 modular preamp.

According to Premier Guitar's rig rundown, Frampton has Leslie 147 hot-rodded by Murph Wanka.

"Oh, and the Mu-Tron effects, which I just by chance, picked up this one and I also had an octave pedal as well of theirs. But this one has got that auto-wah sound, but it's..I'll show you that. It gets heavily featured on "Black Hole Sun", which is on the "Fingerprints" record. It's just got this really nice auto-wah kind of... It will open up depending on how you play a note. So it's really interesting." - Frampton about Mu-Tron III.

"The electrics are sent to a Framptone amp switcher, which splits the signal off to four different paths. One route goes to a MESA/Boogie amp switcher that selects between a MESA/Boogie Mark IV rackmounted head powering a Hammond 147 Leslie (modified), or a MESA/Boogie Rectifier preamp. The preamp sends its signal to a pair of Digital Music dual stereo line mixers, which blend in the effects: a TC Electronic 2290 delay, TC Electronic 1210 chorus, Eventide Eclipse, dbx 1066 compressor, Ernie Ball volume pedal, Mu-Tron octaver, Foxx Tone distortion, Ampeg overdrive, and Korg DL8000 delay."

Fuzz: The Sound That Revolutionized the World (2007)

I hooked up with Robert Keeley because of the work he did. I had a Tube Screamer that he modded for me, which is obviously how he got to be known, by modding the original pedals... and then, we've just been good friends ever since and, in the end he loved Framptone stuff and it worked so well with testing out his stuff through two different amps and it was sorta, like, a good fit. So, we just, virtually said "Well, why don't you take it over? We'll call it Framptone by Keeley."

Product Description

The original Ibanez Tube Screamer made history, and Keeley's TS9 Mod Plus will have you making tonal history of your own. Used by guitarists including The Edge (U2), Peter Frampton, Jon Herrington (Steely Dan), and Larry Crane (John Mellencamp band), the TS9 Mod Plus has a number of enhancements over the original that give it a sound closer to the Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer.
