In answer to Brown Noise Unit's question about what equipment Carlson used on the recording of Earth's 5th album Pentastar: In the Style of Demons: "I had an early Paul Reed Smith, the CE Bolt-on model if I remember correctly, courtesy of Sub Pop and the recording advance. The amp at the studio was a red Marshall JMP 100-watt head and two matching 4×12 cabinets, apparently owned by Ace Frehely at one point according to the studio folks."
