Jack Barakat
Jack Barakat's Amplifiers
Alex and Jack are shown here in front of their Kemper Profiler Rack Guitar Amp System. Jack says in this Facebook post "Kempers have changed touring for me. In the past I believed that no matter what, digital heads would always sound a little "robotic". But now I have been proven wrong. My Kemper has given me any amp I could imagine. As crisp and accurate as the real thing."
Jack Barakat uses a custom white Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo Head (Multi-watt) as seen in a photo by HarfordSound on PhotoBucket. The amplifier is connected through a DI box directly into speakers.
"The band tours nearly 300 days a year so to keep things running as efficient as possible Barakat uses a Kemper Profiler so he can quickly access all the band’s recorded tones and even shared settings given to him by Mark Hoppus of Blink 182. For his clean tone he’s using an AC30 model that’s miked with a Royer R121 ribbon microphone and for the more aggressive stuff the core tone is sampling from Barakat’s Budda Superdrive 30."
