In this interview with Guitar World magazine, Lanois is asked, "How do you get that amp-being-driven-to-destruction tone on 'The End'?"

Lanois: "That is as simple as my Vox AC30 cranked up to ten. It is an early ’60s copper top—not a top boost, with the blue speakers. I use the Normal channel. I was using my ’56 gold-top Les Paul with P-90s. It was the same one I used on Bob Dylan’s Time Out of Mind record. I think it is my best sounding Les Paul, the darkest sounding one anyway. For the initial performance, I was using a DigiTech Whammy pedal for some of the octave dive bombs. I was also using a cheap DBX DJ box that gives you an octave below."
