Roger Miller's Gear
In this article, Roger Miller talks about Fender Lead I guitars. He says, "I chose the Lead I because it was a brand new model of guitar, and no one had ‘made a mark’ with it, so I could start off with a fresh slate to make my own marks."

In this article, Bob Moses notes, "I spent a lot of time with those Leads during Burma’s first incarnation, watching from behind Roger’s amp, minding the guitars. I owned four over the years, including the early Lead II that is Roger’s primary guitar now."

Roger Miller uses the Vacu-Fuzz Custom Fuzz Pedal, a highly modified version of the Big Muff Pi. This pedal was crafted by Lou Giordano, an MIT alumnus and noted producer, who enhanced every component to create a robust and versatile fuzz effect. The modification reflects Giordano's engineering expertise and Miller's specific sound requirements, resulting in a pedal that delivers smooth tones with the capability for exquisite feedback. This information is detailed on the Mission of Burma website.

"Marshall JMP-50 Combo. The Blues type of Marshall. The metal-sounding Marshall amps don't sound right for me. Despite my post-punk or avant-garde leanings, I like to start with a gutsy, bluesy sound, and go from there."

Roger Miller discusses his use of the Vacu-Trem Custom Tremolo Pedal in his work with Mission of Burma. Initially relying on the built-in tremolo of his Peavey amplifier, he transitioned to a custom tremolo unit designed by Lou Giordano after switching to a Marshall amp, which lacked this feature. Miller highlights how the pedal's parameters, speed and intensity, were crucial for songs like "Trem II" and possibly "Sing Along," producing unique effects like a strong on/off pulse. In the early 1990s, Bob Weston further modified the unit to include a foot pedal for speed control, enhancing its studio potential. This information is detailed on the Mission of Burma website.
