My live rig with Bush is a monster. My guitar runs through volume pedal, then a Jerry Cantrell wah, into the front of a Fractal AXFX XL II+, it splits out of the FX loop into a Voodoo amps modded Marshall JMP-1with a gold Marshall EL34 100/100 and into a first revision Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. Both amp signals send to 2 separate Rivera silent sister iso cabinets loaded with Eminence EJ1250’s. Each speaker has 2 microphones, and modded Sure Sm 57, and a Sennheiser 421.

As told in an interview to the Dunlop blog.

He uses Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier (first revision) with a Divided by 13 FTR 37 (not pictured), which he also relies upon heavily in the studio. He likes combining the characteristics of multiple amps to achieve his tone, also using a Marshall EL34 100/100 and a Marshall JMP-1 that was being modded for his rig by Voodoo Amplification. These amps go into Rivera Silent Sister isolation boxes loaded with Eminence speakers.

"Adam and the dudes at Satellite build high quality, Hi-Fidelity amps that are road tested tough. Rather than building clones of icon amps, Satellite has created their own palate of sounds that new, yet classic at the same time. Each amp they build looks cooler than the last, and embodies a classic California vibe. I love my Barracuda barnwood special" - Chris Traynor, Bush, Helmet, Orange9mm
