I love amps. I love turning 'em up really loud until they sing. So recording at SST Studios was like being set free in a dark-chocolate factory. They have a massive collection of vintage and modern amps. You just wheel on out whatever you wanna use. I was in amp heaven. For my fellow gear-heads, here's a list of every amp, guitar and pedal I used on my Get Free album.
For most of the songs, I used my 1986 Strat, which has a rosewood neck. I've customized it with jumbo frets, 2 Seymour Duncan Vintage Rails in the neck and middle position and a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails pickup at the bridge, DR Strings 9.5
On "Love That Lasts" I used my 1992 Les Paul Special tuned to C# G# C# F# G# C# with DR Strings 10.0. I've customized it with a Gibson super-ceramic humbucker in the bridge.
I also used my 1964 Gibson acoustic, a Taylor 12-string acoustic, and Wayne Dorell's Fender Strat with a maple neck.
