Robert: What guitars did you use on the CD?
Frank Hannon: I have a Black Beauty Les Paul Custom with two pickups that I use in the studio. It rings perfectly in tune. And I use an SG Standard. It’s a ’96 SG Standard, and a Mexican Fender Telecaster on some of the solos, like on, “Other Than Me.”
Almost every single rhythm guitar track that I did was recorded with a Vox AC-15, a 15 watt amp; it’s a little brother to the AC-30. It’s this little single twelve inch amp, and it’s the best intercourse guitar amp on the planet. I’m just playing straight into it.
Robert: That wasn’t the amp I expected to hear you used, how did you find that?
Frank Hannon: I bought it at Guitar Center; it’s just the newer one, made in China. It’s nothing fancy. For the solos, we used a 1979 Marshall JMP 50-watt, a JMP50-watt head into a Marshall 4 x 12 cabinet with 25-watt greenbacks and both Dave Rude [guitar] and I used for all the solos, because it just sounded great. So we just took turns plugging into it.
I believe Dave used a little Craig amp, a Marshall cabinet, and also played a Les Paul Gold Top, one of the new ones.
Robert: Are you more of a pedal board guy or do you prefer digital-rack effect?
Frank Hannon: I went through that phase of using digital rack effects in the ’80s and it was garbage. I just use a simple pedal board that has a few things on it.
It has a Boss tuner; an OCD full-tone distortion pedal, a Jim Dunlop Cry Baby wah wah, an MXR Phase 90, and a DLS RotoSim which is a great pedal. There’s nothing that beats the warmth just driving the front end of the amps.
UPDATE:
Frank recently switched to Blackstar Series One 100 Watt Tube Head and Series One 4X12 Cabinets with Celestion Vintage 30's.
