Angelo Bruschini

(1999) "I used to use a Guild 175 because they were feedback kings. They’re the best at feedback, but they’re buggers to control so I had to adapt my technique. But when I started doing large gigs with Aidey, I didn’t want it on tour any more… especially as that Guild was priceless."

(1999): "So live, I use a BOSS GT5, but I threw away the presets and started again. Y’know, I wanted the flanger before the phaser; stuff like that. One of the great things about the GT5 is that you can put anything in any order at any time. The amp simulations are brilliant, except now we have the new Mesa/Boogie Formula preamp, so I can get proper clean or proper dirty sounds."

"The GT5 does the preamp, distortion and effects thing, and that’s split off into two Mesa/Boogie power amps;"

(1999): "now we have the new Mesa/Boogie Formula preamp, so I can get proper clean or proper dirty sounds."

"There’s also now a brand-new Boogie Formula preamp which we’re incorporating bit by bit, which is really good. The preamp is run from the send and returns from the GT5, rather than the other way around. This was down to experience really, because I’d built a loom with so many ways in it, so rather than build a whole new loom, we thought we’d just try it – and it worked! But the purists would be horrified!"

1999: "I picked up this one which had been sent back because the colour had gone wrong, and it was genius. It never went out of tune, it was solid as a rock and it got brilliant feedback. It was the 24-fret PRS with a heavy maple top on it. I’d never played PRS before ‘cos I thought they were metal guitars, but they’re just amazing."

(1999) "I have a McCarty gold top with P90’s as well."

(1999): "I also have a Strat which I use for one song; it’s a bog-standard Squier, but when Squiers first came out there was a batch of them that were really well made with a really nice sound, and I’ve never found another one that can match it."
