Hi all
i was watching the Madrid 75 gig the other night, does anyone know what gear was being used, beyond the usual Fender guitars? The amp stacks look like Sound City, and Rick and Francis appear to a fuzz pedal each. Is that all they used, and what type of fuzz were they?
Thsbks

They used sound city up until around '75 or '76 when they went with Marshall, and then in late '77 or '78 they switched to Vox

No wonder Quo were loud -they'd have to be to drive the amps if all Sound Citys are like mine. There's a shot somewhere of Rossi stood infront of one of his Sound City Cab/Head, and it's perfect to see the settings he used. I'll have to find it. I use a Vox amp myself, looking on to getting a Marshall Cab/Head combo at some point in the near future. Back ontopic... Did Quo go through an Orange Amp phase? or did they borrow those simply for the Beat Club session |

Did Quo go through an Orange Amp phase? or did they borrow those simply for the Beat Club session oh aye, my main amps are vox ac15's. I've had Marshalls in the past - bluesbreaker and 1974x, but sold them both. Vox are so flexible. Love 'em. Sparkle and Crunch! (though mine sounds crap till it warms up). It would be interesting to see Frame's settings... Here it is... taken around '73. you'll have to go off your sound city knob knowledge.  |
