Billy Fucking Duffy!

I was watching some YouTube videos with him doing some soundchecks and noodling.. His tone is phenomenal. It was recently, and I think he was plugged into an older Friedman BE?

I'm pretty sure he plays the Runt that you keep buying and selling.

I think he got his ultimate Big Les Paul sound on that album. It was very similar to Sonic Temple, but Ceremony had less arena reverb overall. Dumb people called them "Hair Metal" at that time, but that was never what they were. They grabbed a piece of that era and made it theirs.

To me his sound on that album got too compressed, too metal. There’s an overall EQ to the record I don’t love. It doesn’t have enough meat in the lows and low mids. So it accentuates the aspects of the guitar tone I don’t like while also having a super dominant snare. But it still has some great songs on it that dig a lot, especially White and If.
