 From Italian Guitar Magazine: - Could you tell me something about what you are using in this tour, as guitars as well as amplification. - As amplifiers I use the Triple Rectifer by Mesa Boogie, they are fucking good, and I use several guitars, a Telecaster with Seymour Duncan that I use a lot. I have a white Stratocaster like the Jeff Beck one really fantastic, a pair of Gibson 335, a Les Paul red cherry with some pickups of the custom shop and a white Les Paul with Seymour Duncan. I have also a Variax of the Line6 for the acoustic sounds, what other else... more or less they are 10 not to get more attention but only in order to be able to play everything. Personally I reckon it's better to get the sound from the guitar directly rather than to try to create a guitar sound by some software and stuff like that.Obviously there are some effects a guitar cannot give you but for istance in a funky groove like Notorious the best sound is obtained by a 335 and I couldn't have the same great sound with a Telecaster.On the opposite Ordinary World sounds great on the Telecaster; therefore you have to find out the right combination between the sound of the guitar and the setup of the Rectifier, which has 8 separated channels, each of them with its own set up and this provides you to put some guitars on a channel and to get a tipically rock old way sound, and to put the other ones on the other two channels considering the sounds you are looking for. |

Andy on Les Paul's: This is an older interview from '97
Andy Taylor Turns Up "Power" With Les Paul Black Beauties
Former Duran Duran and current Power Station fretmeister Andy Taylor dropped by the Custom, Art, Historic Division today to pick up his new '57 Reissue 3-pickup Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty.
Taylor, along with the all-star lineup of vocalist Robert Palmer and drummer Tony Thompson have revived the Power Station, which originally formed in 1983. The group's new Guardian/EMI release, Living In Fear hit the stores yesterday while an American tour kicks off in Detroit on September 4th. The first single, "She Can Rock It" should be invading the airwaves anytime as well.
Taylor, who has been known to strum a variety of guitars throughout his career, discovered the virtues of the Black Beauty about six months before the band began cutting the new record. It wound up being the guitar used on over 90% of the record and he's playing them exclusively on the road.
"40 years later, it's still the sound, it's the nicest looking guitar as well," Taylor said. "I've never used a Les Paul, but it sounded great and it's all I really use, now."
For an in-depth interview with Taylor, keep your eyes peeled for future issues of The Amplifier Gibson.Net's online magazine.
