Alec O'Hanley

"When you hear about AC/DC using tiny recording amps in the studio, if a band of that sonic magnitude can go that route, then why can’t we? A lot of it was just a Champ with a ’58 stuck in front of it. There’s no onboard reverb with the Champ, so we used a Reverberator pedal, and we lean pretty heavily on the old Deluxe Memory Man, too. It’s probably the best guitar pedal out there – it’s great for slapback and self-oscillation".

In the 2nd photo you can see the Mooer Black Secret on Alec's pedalboard (bottom row, second from the right).

"...Anyone lucky enough to catch one of the band’s UK dates in September would have witnessed an exhilarating live sound built around a pair of Fender Deluxe Reverbs, with the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man, ProCo RAT and Dr. Scientist Reverberator among the pedals on their boards".

"On the record, we used almost exclusively the Fender Champ, which I also use live. I stick it on top of my Deluxe Reverb and it’s nice, it’s just a tight little recording amp".
