"We did try different amps, but I settled on my Vox AC30 and a late-’50s tweed Fender Vibrolux. The best result we had with Rocco was plugging him into an old Peavey MAX from the ’70s that I had down in the basement. We ran the Peavey into an Ampeg 4x10 SVT cabinet. Those amps were all we used on the album."

Quoted from the interview, Lanois said:

In the studio it's surprising how sometimes the Fender Champ is my best amp — a little tweed Champ I have from the late 1950s. I think there's some kind of wisdom to there only being one speaker so you're only going to mic one speaker.

In this transcribed interview from the October 1997 issue of Canadian Musician magazine, Lanois discusses his guitar setup. "Then it just comes down to guitar amps. That’s a huge part of the personality. I prefer old VOX AC30s, but I also quite like a 1959 410 BASSMAN. The tube amps can give pretty good results."
