Chris Alderton

The solo on that is an EarthQuaker Devices Erupter going through a Vox AC15 C1. I didn’t have anything written for that when we got to the studio and our label came down and were in the control room while we were playing it. I played that solo on the third take using that sound for a laugh with no reverb, it sticks out like a sore thumb and it just came out really well. The rest of the track is quite roomy, so it really sticks out!

On the new album, I think she forgot she didn’t like it. I’ve always maintained it sounds amazing and she agreed this time. It’s definitely the best-made guitar that I have. Everything just works exactly as it should. I also have a 2002 Custom Shop Non Reverse Firebird, I got that just before recording to treat myself. I had a standard version in Pelham Blue with mini-humbuckers in it initially, but I didn’t like the colour, so I tried to replace it and this one sounds ace. And it looks cool, which is obviously the most important thing.
