Myles Kennedy

Myles Kennedy says the Diezel Herbert 180W Tube Guitar Head is the amp he uses with Alter Bridge.

"With Slash I’m using the Mesa Mark IV and with Alter Bridge I’m using the Diezel Herbert. I was using the Diezel in conjunction with the Mesa Mark IV in Alter Bridge and basically what was happening is the front of house guy was like, 'I’m not running a lot of the Mesa, because it’s so similar sonically to Mark’s sound.'" - Source.

Extract from the interview: “I do have an OX. I didn't use it that much, I actually use that right now as a power soak more than anything so I can crank up my old Fenders. On the demos, really the only guitar sound I kept gravitating towards was UA’s ‘55 Deluxe plugin. And it’s an amazing plugin, it sounds just like an old [Fender] Deluxe.

"So what was interesting was I listened to the demos and I really liked the way that kind of amp sounds with these songs, so I went on a hunt for that particular era of Deluxes. I think it’s the 5E3 circuit. It’s very simple but it’s such an incredible sound. There’s a reason Billy Gibbons uses those and so many guys gravitate towards those amps.

“So I found one of those, my buddy Bobby at River City Guitars, I said, “Hey man I’m looking for one of these amps, can you round one up for me?” He found one that was in a studio over in Seattle and it’s pretty much the sound of this record.”

Kennedy runs two Diezel Herbert MK1 heads, which he controls with a Diezel Columbus foot controller. The amps run into two Diezel 4x12 cabs loaded with green Tone Tubby Hempcone 40/40 Ceramic speakers.
