Phil Manansala

Throughout this whole video Phil Talks about the "Triamp MkIII" and The "Deluxe 40" they have been Hughes and Kettner players for a number of years now and I was supprised no one had posted this before.

This is an excerpt from an interview at guitarworld.com:

"PHIL: The same one used on the first album, a Gibson Les Paul Traditional. Unfortunately I just broke that guitar, so that's kind of heartbreaking, but it's time to try something else."

Phil is seen using this guitar whilst performing an instrumental cover of song 'Ben Threw" with fellow guitarist Alan Ashby to demonstrate and the promote the Mesa Mini Rectifier and Cabinet.

“I use the PH-3 on Still YDG’N and also Product Of A Murderer. Then I have a stereo phaser, a DigiTech HardWire SP-7, which I like to run [simultaneously] with my other phaser, so they make crazy noises.

“I think the phaser fell off for a bit and, being a fan of nu-metal, where the phaser is used a lot, I feel like it needs to make a comeback. That’s why I’ve got two of them!”

“I run a HardWire delay pedal, a DL-8, on all of my leads, just to spice it up a little bit. I have it on a tremolo setting, so it’s kind of fast, but it dies out in like four beats. Then it has a kill switch, so it doesn’t go over everything and make me sound stupid!”

Phil Manansala uses an Ibanez Custom RG7, a 7-string solid body electric guitar. This is showcased in an Ibanez official video featuring the RG6 and RG7 models on Facebook, where it is reviewed by Dan P.
