John Butler

Excerpt from his Music Radar interview says :

“Over the years, I’ve chased my tail trying to get the right 100-watt amp, and in the last few months, I’ve pretty much realised I need a Marshall JMP 100-watt [not pictured] running a 200-watt cab. That allows me a serious amount of headroom, but I want to get that crunch coming in at lower volumes over the acoustic. With the 100watts, it gives me the head room to get the frequencies to the right place when I need them. When you go through the right amp, in the right situation, it’s a magical thing."

“At the moment, I’m getting my JMP sent over from Australia because my JCM800s are not doing what I need them to do. They’re great, but for the schizophrenic kind of dual world, it doesn’t quite work. So I’m tandem-ing at the moment; I’ve got a 100-watt bass Marshall head behind it that’s giving me the power to my JCM800. But normally, it would be a JMP 100-watt Super Lead - hopefully from somewhere around the late 60s to early 70s - and then a Fender DeVille.” - excerpt from his Music Radar interview.

“This provides the other sounds for Flesh & Blood songs Bullet Girl, Young And Wild and Living In The City.

"A lot of that was recorded with this puppy. When you’re not wanting to be thermonuclear, a Fender or Silvertone through a Fender gives you great colour, and landscapes that you can traverse. The reverb is beautiful on it.” - excerpt from Music Radar interview.
