WD: Well on Out of the Cellar, Robbin Crosby and I had 100-Watt Marshalls and a couple of cabinets. He had Celestions in them and I had EVs. He had Marshall cabinets; I had his old Orange cabinets that I bought from him when he moved to LA a year or two before that point. So I had Orange cabinets, and in one of those cabinets I had 200-Watt EVs. The cabinets probably weighed three tons.
They wouldn’t break up much, so when we got to the lead overdub parts of Out of the Cellar, I said to the engineer “I wish I could get a sound like I get from my practice amp because that sound is really inspiring.” At one point he said, “Well why don’t you bring it in and we can mic that up?” And I remember saying “Can we do that?” He was like, “Yeah you can; it doesn’t matter.” This was the first time we had been in that [big studio] environment so it was really a learning experience.
So I did that. We took the back off the Orange cabinet and it was a Fender Super-Champ and I just took the leads from the Super-Champ and connected them to one EV speaker and that was what I used for the lead guitar on the record. I was using the Orange cabinet with the amp section from the Super Champ.
