In this video Chad plays a guitar solo on his Fender Stratocaster. This was recorded in Amsterdam in the year 2006.
I'm really a purist at heart. I play Les Pauls, a “Ruby Lou” Jazzmaster and Strats. I like the sounds of those through a high-gain amp. Usually, that's my Diaz CD-100's and Marshall JMP’s. - Chad Taylor
This Instagram pic was posted recently "(3) Vintage Marshall JMP’s (all cleaned and tuned up) into 18 twelve-inch speakers.
This rig will definitely make your ears ring!'

Live approached us about building a new backline, just to see if it could be done. Know for their towering backdrop of amplifiers, the band wanted to emulate the stage presence of full-stacks with a line of our 6x12s. When all was said and done, we built six 6x12s, three for guitar and three for bass, as well as a couple of 2x12s. This eight cab backbone was our biggest build to date and quite challenging. The guitar cabs feature a unique split within the enclosure, which separates the one cab into a 4×12 and 2×12 stack. The top 4×12 is used for a dry signal, while the bottom 2×12 is utilized during the wet, effects driven playing. The cabs are loaded with Eminence Wizards and Deltas.
