Mike Campbell's Gear
Campbell himself mentions the Kustom 200 in this September 1999 "Spotlight on a Heartbreaker" interview from the official Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers website.
26) Hank asked: I saw that you use those Danelectro pedals. Can you tell me your settings on the Daddy-O? For settings on the Danelectro pedal consult [email protected]. 27) Randy in NC and Greg asked: What is your stage amp setup and what pedals do you use? I saw what looked like several Vox AC-30's. Are your AC-30's top Boosted? I use a vintage AC-30 ( with top boost I think) with wah wah Roland delays, Danelectro Daddy-O --- also a Kustom200 and sometimes a Bassman amp. Also on the last tour the soundman had a feed from a Groove Tube preamp for the PA only.

29) Jim in OH asked: Are there any particular Gretsch model guitars that you like to play? I like a Tenessean that I keep at home and I have a Firejet from '56 that is really nice.
A MK2 unit was listed for sale on Reverb.com on July 21, 2021.
This Watkins Copy Cat Tape is owned by Mike Campbell
Cosmetically the unit is in pretty good shape other than a few small scuffs and rips here and there. The inside tolex is also coming apart. This unit is currently non functioning and will need to be repaired. There is a piece of tape with it that is currently held together with blue tape but it will likely need a new tape entirely.
The unit passes signal and the "gain" functions but the echo does not work. Again this unit will need some repairs to get it to full functionality but with the right expertise it could be pretty close!

This Gretsch "CHET ATKINS" Model 6160 Amp is owned by Mike Campbell
Serial: 6160 Overall the amp is in pretty good shape cosmetically. The "Chet Atkins" as well as the "Gretsch" logos on the grill cloth have been torn off. All of the inputs function. The tremolo functions. The only known functional issue is that the amp at times has a pretty loud hiss that happens intermittently and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to what causes it but it goes away. This amp will definitely benefit from a set up by a professional tech!

Mentioned by recording engineer Richard Dodd in this Sound on Sound interview about the recording of "Learning to Fly".
"One of the amplifiers Mike was using was an open-back Ampeg, and I had a Shure SM57 on that while, to capture some low end, I had the bright idea of also sticking one of those flat PZM microphones onto the amp. It was the Radio Shack mic, not the posh Crown version, and I just blended that in. Being omnidirectional, it gave a little of the environment, and those mics were blended together and went through a Urei 1176. Typically, the pre would be an outboard Neve 1073 or an API, and only things like percussion would use the preamps on the console.
"The same recording method was used for the other guitars, with the exception of the PZM.
The SM57 is also mentioned in this March 1983 Musician article about Tom Petty and the Heartbreaks.
They all use Shure SM57s, are mixed through a Davey Bryson console and are heard through Jensen Bulldogs.

1) Amanda in NC, Ruth in NY, Kristin in TX, Tara from Canada and Lisa asked: How old were you when you started playing the guitar and what kind of guitar was it? I was 16 and it was a cheap Harmony from a pawnshop. My first electric guitar was a $60 Goya from Okinawa.
