"Falkner's lead workhorse is the same '73 Mustang he's had since he was 12, and his lone Les Paul concession is a '58 TV Special. Falkner played all of the instruments on Presents, including an early '60s Mustang bass - "a yellow model with red racing stripes."

In this photo, Falkner is seen playing the red Gibson Firebird V. This guitar was used during his time with Cheap Trick.

In this photo, which shows Falkner performing back in 2006, he is seen playing the classic Gibson SG Standard.

"I also use a 1966 Fender Super Reverb quite a bit for more chime. It sounds amazing with a vibrato pedal. I’ll use that amp with my ’67 Hagstrom 12-string for a very aggressive ’60s 12-string tone."

There aren't many pictures of Falkner's pedalboard but from what I can decipher here he is pictured with an Ibanez TS808.

"And though his effects include MXR Distortion + and Phase 90 pedals and an Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress flanger, "a lot of what you hear on the album's just maxed-out guitar and amp."

"For guitar amps, I start with an SM57 typically, but sometimes a RØDE, usually into this UREI 1178 compressor through an API 312 mic preamp. I usually go into this API 550A EQ; or if something really needs to be carved out, I'll go into this UREI 546, an old film mastering EQ, with very specific control. Sometimes I'll send the guitar into this old RCA solid state compressor. The RCA also sounds great on snare."

"The Lily's I did to tape. My own stuff I'm doing in Pro Tools. I just bought it [Digi001]. I still haven't figured out how to come out of Pro Tools and go through one of these outboard boxes. I'm sure it's easy. But I haven't gotten that far yet. But I love it."
