Topic: Blues Of Desperation - Guitars track by track

Has anyone seen anywhere a breakdown of what guitars and amps Joe used on each track?

Obviously I've seen the videos for Drive and Mountain Climbing, so am fairly sure which were used on those. But wondered about others...

Guitars: Fender American Original 60s Strat, Fender American Vintage 52 Tele, Gibson Les Paul Traditional
FX: Various including - Ceriatone Centura, Fire Custom Shop Carpe Diem
Amp: Fender ML212 Deville + 212 extention cabinet

You cant compare Jimmy Page with God. I mean he's cool and all, but he's no Jimmy Page!!

Nope, not this time. But the line up is still very impressive.

Nice, thanks for that.

Don't suppose you have an amp lineup that was used on that album? I'm interested to see all that was used especially as it was a Marshall-less album.

hadn't see this posted either before.. BoD has really grown on me now.
