![]() I’m also using it on four songs live, and I’m really enjoying it. I used it on about three tracks on the record. The Telecaster is a different guitar for you, isn’t it? You played Les Pauls early in your career, then you became a Strat guy. It softened up the sound beautifully, and took some of the twang out of the stock Fender setup.“ But when I tracked 'Don’t Believe a Word,' I ran the Dual Showman through a Marshall 4x12. He had two of them – each atop a 2x15 JBL D130-loaded cabinet. The Dual Showman was the amp Peter Green was using when I first met him in Dublin. I used a Fender Dual Showman for 'Don’t Believe a Word' on my solo debut, Back on the Streets, from the late ’70s. ![]() Have you used Fender amps much in the past? “I used a Fender Vibroverb reissue for the spooky reverb sound on 'I Had a Dream,' and for 'Nowhere Fast' and 'Evenin’.' I also used a Marshall DSL head on 'Have You Heard' and 'Checkin’ Up on My Baby.'“ I coupled it with a Marshall 2061CX 2x12 on Sonny Boy Williamson’s 'Eyesight to the Blind.' I also used an Orange Tiny Terror head – a great little amp. “I used a mid-’60s Vox AC30 on the opening track, Chuck Berry’s 'Thirty Days.' That amp, coupled with a Fender Telecaster, gave me a wonderful, rough-edged tone. I did, however, use more amps than I typically use on a session. I wanted the tones to be as immediate and in-your-face as possible, and the best way to do that is to eliminate anything extra in the signal path between the guitar and amp. “My other rule was that I didn’t want to use any pedals. I left the door to my amp booth wide open so my guitar was all over the drum mics! It’s always tempting to say, 'I’ll go back and fix that bit.' So, to make sure I couldn’t do that, I created a situation where there wasn’t much separation between the instruments in the studio. ![]() “I made a couple of rules for myself on this record, and one of them was that I had to track live as much as possible, and not overdub any of my solos.
