I used a Orange Terror Bass Head 500 with an 1×15 cab, but I just got a 2018 Orange OB1-300 head, which is even better than the Bass Terror! I’ll be using that from now on.”

Timony: What I like about this record is that we weren’t trying to force it. It was more like, “What do we have? What do we like?” The answer to, “What do we like?” was definitely late ’‘80s Heart, but we also had a bunch of songs that definitely didn’t fit into that. We also used this headphones amplifier called the Rockman. We read somewhere that Mutt Lange used it a lot on [the Def Leppard album] Hysteria. Tom Schultz from Boston invented it.

Wright: If you listen to the guitar sound on “More Than a Feeling,” it’s the same guitar sound on our song “Good Times” [laughs]. It’s just this little box you plug into and it goes straight into the computer.

Timony: And it’s got that great blend of chorus and distortion that’s so ’‘80s.

Wright: It’s so satisfying.
