Tracii Guns

His name is on the headstock and the song name "Cry No More" is on the body. It has a maple fingerboard that he says makes it sound warm versus rosewood.

"...and then we take this and go into the headrush."

What was your main guitar setup on the new record? —Anders Roil

The new record is pretty specific. The brass tacks in the amplification for the heavy stuff was a Bugera 1960, which is basically a plexi clone, into a Marshall basketweave cab with 30-watt Greenbacks. And the amp was set up basically clean—big and loud and not much distortion. Then, for most of the rhythm tracks, particularly the doubled rhythm tracks, I used Mooer pedals. I had 10 of their preamps, and the one I ended up using for the rhythm was something called a UK Gold, which is basically like a JCM 900 preamp. For lead tracks I used a Mooer that was like a 5150 preamp...

At 6:08 when asked "what were you using back in the day?" He responds with this pedal.

As seen in standing in front of his Century 200 heads in this early 90s Randall ad.

One of Tracii's main amps on stage in 2016 with reunited L:A. Guns singer Phill Lewis.

At 2:03 he talks about this guitar and why he uses it for the current tour.

An old Marshall Plexi is one of the main amps that Tracii uses these days with reunited L.A.Guns.

Me: Jic, this was when Mooer had only released the initial 10.

Starts playing at 0:28 with this guitar!

At 8:34 what's in it now is a Dimarzio 36th Anniversary PAF...

I also have a Magnatone Twilighter Stereo amp I used for a lot of the clean stuff. With that, I just plugged in direct; it’s got the best reverb sound in the world.

On some of the solos, I experimented with the Mooer pedals, particularly one called Grey Faze Fuzz, which is this really unique, psychedelic, Yardbirds-fuzz kind of sound you can hear throughout the record. With that pedal, I used a Japan-made ’62-reissue Strat that Phil gave me.

Tracii Guns uses a Randall RGT 100 HT guitar amplifier head, as evidenced by a user-uploaded photo showing it in his flight rack case.

Tracii Guns acquired the Gibson Les Paul Custom Green for the 2017 tour with L.A. Guns and singer Phil Lewis, as evidenced by a photo shared by Vincent Vitale on Facebook.

Tracii used this pedal for recording some psychodelic leads on new upcoming L.A. Guns album.

... and for the clean stuff I had a 1974 Fender Super. And then a final setup was a Bugera BC-30. And the main guitar I used for everything wasn’t even my own guitar—my tech has a really nice Gibson R9 with Bare Knuckle The Mule pickups in it that sounded great. Onstage I also have two Chubtone California Classics, one with a DiMarzio Super Distortion and one with a PAF 59. And I use Apex strings.

"I start with a Reissue 1959 Les Paul..."
