Tommy Skeoch

I’ve got this ’70s Marshall 2104 I’ve used for most of my career – 2×12 combo based on a JMP 50-watt. The gain section was modified and it sounds killer. I thought, “If I can get someone to copy that, it would be diamonds.” And Holbrook did it. Out of the box, it sounded basically exactly like my Marshall. It’s got two gain stages and I like to crank them up – go for it and get nuts. It’s actually a lot more versatile than that; I can get JMP sounds, plexi sounds, and all kinds of different sounds.

Hey, what’s up? Tommy Skeoch from Tesla Here. I put this guitar together when I was about 20 years old. It’s a Kramer Voyager body with a Kramer Berreta neck. I used it a lot on our first record and many other recordings! I’ve also used this guitar at countless rock shows! I did the artwork on it too. …Hard Rock forever!"

So I put a little of that on the record. I’m running a Holbrook TS50 head and Holbrook cabinet with four Celestion Vintage 30s, then the Pod straight to the board. I run the amp clean with whatever amp modeler and effects I like on the Pod, then blend it in with the raw straight track from the amp.

I always use a Boss Super Chorus for cleaner stuff; I like turning the guitar Volume down and letting it clean up a bit. I don’t necessarily like getting a real chimey, clean sound out of the amp; that’s too clean for me. I like a little bit of sizzle.

I also use an MXR Phase 90 and a Way Huge Supa Puss. On the intro to “Other Worlds” I’m using an EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath, and it’s trippy. You can do all kinds of crazy stuff with it, so I use it with the Supa Puss and it’s just wild.

No, I enjoy playing bass. It’s really fun to dig in with the kick drum. I’m using a Fender reissue Precision through Kustom Amps’ version of an SVT cab with eight 10s. It’s loud and sounds great; for recording, I always use an amp. You have to move some air. That’s a big part of the sound.
