"I currently use a JVM 205 head and a Marshall 1960A cab. Pedal-wise I keep it real simple. I stack a Maxon Tube Screamer and a Hot Cake pedal for drive and more drive, then I use a Boss Chorus Ensemble for a little bit of colour and a Boss NS-2 noise suppressor to stop everything humming loads. And a Korg tuner of course. In the studio, we tended to use amp distortion rather than pedals, so for cleans we had a Fender Bassman and then for drives we stacked some Dual Rectifiers with the Marshall with the gain whacked right up. The main amp we used though was a Bogner (I forget which model), but that sounded great."

"I actually use a Fender Duo-Sonic as my main guitar, but my favourite is a 1978 Bronco, which I’ve kind of retired from playing live now. I got it because I was very into Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. at the time so offsets just seemed cool to me. I love the shorter scale and could never really get on with more shreddy, flat necks. J Mascis is still my number one guitar hero as well, and he can get a pretty ripping sound out of P90s, so I’m just copying him, really."

Norton has recently switched to a Player series Stratocaster HSS, which he now uses as his primary guitar during live performances. He can be found talking about this guitar in the following video: https://youtu.be/D-qlWOTLqtA?t=174
