"The mics are very important and ribbon mics in particular sound good for guitar but Sure 57's still take some beating as long as you're prepared to spend a lot of time moving them around combining them eliminating phase problems and adjusting them till you're content. I have a lot of different mics which I use, some powered some not but each one has its own character and the mic pre amps you use in the control room are very important to take what you've got and enhance even further."

"I have almost exclusively used Marshall amps, but now I also use ENGL amps for stage work. I used Regular Vintage 50 and 100 Watt Marshall heads without a master volume until 1982, when the JCM 800 head was developed. I then used the JCM 800 with Rocktron pre amps as well. Currently I use one of three or four racks which include ENGL pre and power amps, Marshall 9100 poweramps and cabs with the addition ENGL backless cabs."

Used for the guitar on Redeemer of Souls, as stated in this August 5, 2014 Guitar.com interview.

Guitar.com: What guitars did you use on Redeemer of Souls?

Tipton: Hamer, Gibson. I did use a Taylor for an acoustic section at the start of “To Hell And Back.” And that’s it really. I probably used a Strat in places to get some of the quieter sounds. But I didn’t use a hell of a lot of guitars. We wanted this album to sound natural and fresh, and we didn’t want to lace it with all sorts of effects or different guitars. We wanted to give it a solid sound that flowed through the album and didn’t disrupt. Sometimes you can have too many diversities on the album and it’s tough to play the album [on tour].

Guitar.com: What kind of amps were you using in the studio?

Tipton: We used Engl amps on all the tracks. We just mic’d them up with a close Shure 57, a ribbon mic, and then we’d have an active mic, a Sennheiser or something like that, as an ambient mic. And then we used Celestion speakers, I believe the classic Celestion. Our aim on this album was to get a live sound. Priest has always been a good live band. And we felt it was important this time to put the guitars down and make them sound really plain, not processed guitars, no programmed drums. Everything mic’d up and played with an exciting live sound. And I think we did a pretty good job of it.
