Someone asked for a run-down of the stuff I used for the guitar tracks on Ta-Da!! (The Power Triplets new record), so hear it is....it turned out a bit more extensive than I had planned, but that's pretty typical of anything I try to do...:
Sassy--Guitar: drip-finished Suhr Classic with a nickel-covered Suhr SSV in the bridge, and two Suhr V60lp's.
Amps: 50w Blankenship Variplex cranked all the way up for the rhythm guitar stuff as well as the solo.
Speakers: A THD 4x12 cab loaded with four THD blue Vintage speakers.
Pedals: I kicked on a Psionic Audio Z2 towards the end of the solo, to give it just a little more vroom.
Other effects: A little bit of Line6 Echo Pro and a Lexicon MPX-1
Burnin' Sulfur--Guitar: Ocean Torquoise Suhr Classic with three V60lp's.
Amps: All of the dirty stuff is the Blankenship cranked. The verse sections are into the first input only, while the middle section is both channels Y-cabled and cranked. The clean, volume swell stuff was done with an original 1965 Twin Reverb.
Speakers: A THD 4x12 cab loaded with four THD blue Vintage speakers for the dirty stuff. The Twin has Jensen C12s in it.
No pedals.
Other effects: Line6 Echo Pro on the dirty stuff; an old Rocktron Intellifex on the clean stuff.
Asian Beauty--Guitar: Black home-made strat with a one-piece maple neck, Callaham vintage-style srat bridge, Suhr DV (bridge) and two Suhr v54 single coils.
Amps: All of the dirty stuff is the Blankenship cranked. The clean bridge-section is the Twin with an old EP3 Echoplex in front of it.
Speakers: A THD 4x12 cab loaded with four THD blue Vintage speakers for the dirty stuff. The Twin has Jensen C12s in it.
No Pedals.
Other effects: Line6 Echo Pro and a Lexicon MPX-1 on the dirty stuff. The afore mentioned Echoplex.
Art Deco Clock--Guitars: drip finished Suhr Classic for most of it; '74 Les Paul Deluxe Gold Top for the one clean run coming into the first 'verse'.
Amps: All of the dirty stuff is the Blankenship cranked. The clean Les Paul run was played through the '65 Twin.
Speakers: A THD 4x12 cab loaded with four THD blue Vintage speakers for the dirty stuff. The Twin has Jensen C12s in it.
Pedals: At the very beginning, and thoughout a lot of the tune, I'm using a ToneFreak Fuzzoctio.
Other effects: No delays. There was a lot of spring reverb from the Twin on that clean thing though.
Waiting for Buster--Guitar: Ocean Torquoise Suhr Classic with three V60lp's.
Amps: Blankenship cranked; clean '66 Twin.
Speakers: A THD 4x12 cab loaded with four THD blue Vintage speakers for the dirty stuff. The Twin has Jensen C12s in it.
Pedals: For the big rock solo at the end, I ran a Psionic Audio 3.14 into the Blankenship all the way up. Mid-way through the solo, I stepped on a KR Music Mega-Vibe, then subsequently a Vox wah that I've modded a little. In case it's not apparent, this was tracked in the room with the amp...very loud!
Other effects: Line6 Echo Pro on the dirty stuff, nothing on the Twin.
JRB---Guitar: '74 Fender Strat with the original electronics.
Amps: Most of the tune is a THD Flexi 50; the solo is a '69 Marshall Super Lead 100.
Speakers: THD was hooked up to a 2x12 cab with THD blue Vintage model speakers. The solo was tracked through a late '60s Marshall 4x12 cab with the orginal 25w Celestions.
Pedals: A Landgraff Dynamic Overdrive was run into the THD with the amp set pretty clean for the main stuff. For the solo, it was a old Arbiter Fuzz Face into a Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe into the Landgraff.
Other effect: Line6 Echo Pro.
Love on Unicorn Mountain---Guitar: Ocean Torquoise Suhr Classic with three V60lp's.
Amps: '65 Twin for clean; Blankenship with both channels jumped and cranked for the solo.
