Larry "Ler" LaLonde

Larry used JCM 800's in Possessed, Blind Illusion, and in Primus up until Pork Soda. He kept it on the distorted channel most of the time, using the volume knob on his guitar to get a cleaner sound until Sailing the Seas of Cheese where he began switching between the clean and distorted channels.

“Over the years every time I would see an Orange amp I would think “ Wow! That thing looks really cool”. But for some reason, mainly my excellent ability to slack off, I just never got around to trying one out. Then last summer while starting up a European tour I was given a list of amps that were available and noticed the one I was currently using was not on the list. I decided to take every head on the list and after a day of driving everyone nuts with my signature amp testing style (A blend of terrible blues licks and A power chords) it was clear that the Orange Rockerverb was going in the truck for the tour. When we started rehearsals for our current tour we were in a small room so I just plugged in a Rockerverb combo to get started. By the end of that first day everyone had taken notice of how great this amp sounded. It was also so much fun to play through. This is now my favorite amp that I have ever owned. I’m getting every sound that I have ever wanted out of my guitar now. This may be the last amp I will ever need. ”

This was the main amp used on the recording sessions for the Brown Album. Live, he used it along with his Marshall and Triple Rectifier during performances in 1997.

"LaLonde, who used Marshalls for a long time, switched to the Fender Super-Sonic 60 for the band's latest album, Green Naugahyde." - Premier Guitar.

He’s switched to using Orange Dark Terrors and 2x12 cabs. As you can see here, he’s running the Dark Terrors alongside the Fractal Axe-Fx, which helps with covering complicated sounds and pedal combinations he can’t navigate simply with his feet while performing.

He switched over from JCM 800's to JCM 900's in 1993 and continued using them until Primus' hiatus in 2000. They were his main amps during during the Pork Soda and Punchbowl-era, but in 1997, he began to use them with other amps.

He used this for his main distortion sounds from 1991 to 1994
