Myles Kennedy

2:08 Uses it alongside his Neumann mic

"The most detailed demos I’ve made since the second Mayfield Four record. Second Skin was very detailed – that was back in the days of the Roland 1680 [16-channel multitrack recorder] and I basically had an Avalon 737 preamp and my Roland 1680. "

"It’s funny. I have a few older guitars, a ’67 Gibson SG and a ’67 335, which I love dearly. There’s this PRS McCarty they sent me about seven years ago, and there’s something about that guitar that I always tend to go to when I’m at home. It just feels good in my hands. It’s just very comfortable. It sounds good." - Myles Kennedy.

Check out e.g. 38:40. On the actual Europe tour of Slash feat. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, Myles is using a mahogany-red PRS Starla 2008 with Bigsby when backing up Slash on his Guild Doubleneck.

Spotted at Rock am Ring 2015, Germany, Pinkpop 2015, The Netherlands, and witnessed at Geneve 2015, Switzerland

Myles has been wearing Red Monkey guitar straps for years.

On his pedalboard, Kennedy runs a Fulltone Ultimate Octave, MXR GT-OD, Dunlop MC404 CAE Wah, Line 6 MM4 Modulation Modeler, Fulltone Deja ’Vibe, and a Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner.

Seen on his pedalboard at 25:58, although Myles didn't talk about the pedal.

From the interview:

"The most detailed demos I’ve made since the second Mayfield Four record. Second Skin was very detailed – that was back in the days of the Roland 1680 [16-channel multitrack recorder] and I basically had an Avalon 737 preamp and my Roland 1680. "

Found on the Rock Slide website. Unsure of the exact model that he uses, however.

From the interview:

"But with that it was different because I had the band. I recorded Zia’s drums and Marty’s [Meisner's] bass parts. With this I was all by myself so I was left to my own devices. And I’ve worked with EZ Drummer for the last 10 or 12 years so I’m pretty familiar in that whole realm as far as programming drums. "

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.”
