Francis Rossi

"I acquired it sometime in the late 60s" - Francis Rossi.

On the official Quo website it states that Rossi uses a Marshall JCM 800.

Rossi used to use the Vox AC30 as his main amp, he still uses them but through a mic'd signal from the back of the stage. "In the old days these were loud enough to be the main stage amps but now the mic'd signal is sent out front to give the sound that extra fatness" - Official Quo website.

On the Official Quo website it states that along with the JCM 800 Lead series, Rossi also uses a JCM 900.

For effects, Francis uses a Roland GP8 which boosts the signal to the amplifier, has five different overdrive patches and one patch which is a very tight straight double effect with some echo.

Between the output of the amp and the speakers are Palmer speaker simulators.
