I still have a Soldano SLO-100 that I’ve had for many years. I love that.

Yeah, there’s a lot of different stuff going on, and we used a lot of different guitar amps. Many of the rhythm parts were done with a Diezel VH4, and for a lot of the main overdubs we used a Splawn Nitro, which is basically a hotrodded Marshall with KT88 power tubes, which give it a bigger sound more like the JCM 800s.

Our favorite cabs are Mesa/Boogie Stiletto straight cabs with Celestion Vintage 30s. That’s what we tracked with, but sometimes if the tone wasn’t fitting in we’d send the recorded part out to another amp so we didn’t have to re-track it.

Lately we’ve just been using our Kemper [Profilers]. We can profile the sounds we get in the studio and they’re easy to recall live. Part of me would love to have a big tube stack behind me, kicking me in the chest when I turn around. But, at the same time, the Kemper’s so convenient. We’re all on in-ear monitors, so it’s really nice to be able to plug in and there’s no issues with mic placement. Our front-of-house guy has a direct clean line to the guitars that doesn’t bleed.
