I basically went full circle,” Perri says. “Most of what you’re hearing me play through these days is a Les Paul, a Marshall JTM45 with Celestion Greenbacks, and a Dunlop Fuzz Face Distortion pedal. With that combo, I’m more satisfied with my tone than ever before.

Hey friends, I thought I would take a minute and share the story of how the new single & music video came to be.. This was one of those rare instances where the song almost wrote itself. I sat down with my Les Paul and dialed up a guitar sound that included a Boss DM-2w analog delay and a “Sir-Henry” Uni-Vibe, run thru my ‘65 reverb tank and Tweed Pro Jr. I started playing this broken down Gm chord letting the delay set my tempo. It was so warm & gooey, it just felt magical from the start. I guess I was in a fiery mood you could say, and I just started singing what came to mind and that’s literally all the lyrics you hear in the final version. They were almost all stream of consciousness and written in 5 minutes. The song is about a romantic attraction, or chase. One of the more unique features of the production I think is the single guitar take that runs thru the entire song. I played it once, and that’s what you’re hearing. No overdubs, no layers, just one guitar. I recorded the whole band playing to that single guitar, rather than to a click or drums like normal.

Nick Perri has been using Naylor amps since the days of Silvertide. He's specifically used the Naylor Superdrive 60.

In an Instagram post, Nick Perri shares a snapshot of his creative process in a basement on the East Coast, mentioning he's working on new material. The photo includes his Ampeg VT-22 amplifier, indicating its role in his current music projects.

In this interview, Nick Perri says:

I've got a passive attenuator called the Dr. Z Brake Lite that I travel with. I don't always use it, and if I don't have to use it, I don't use it. But for certain smaller club gigs, when you would just literally obliterate the audience, it's a really great thing because it allows you to keep your amp really hot and then just take a notch or two down so you're not killing the people in the front row.

Beyond epic tone party with my friend Keith Nelson today. Video tomorrow.

Despite having all his cabs loaded with Greenbacks, he used a 4x12 that was lent by his friend and tech for some reharsal and live shows.
