Johnny Marr RIG
Other than the Es-335/LP/Ric guitars and Fender Twin.
What did he use on the floor along with the Vox wah? I figure alot of it was studio stuff.

It used to be in the Q&A on his website, but that's buggered right now.
Um. . .do a forum search, I"m sure it's up here someplace. And most of the Smiths stuff was HEAVILY overdubbed.

On "How Soon Is Now," the tense slide part is effected by an AMS harmoniser.

That was studio magic, though. I have also seen pics of Marr with an ES-345 and a Martin D-18.

In the Smiths days, he used a Rickenbacker 360 (or 330, can't remember) for most of the jangly stuff.

With The Healers at the moment he's using a '63 SG, a custom rick12-string, a LP goldtop, and a couple of other things I can't remember.
Amps are Matchless C30's; and pedals (live) are a Boss GT5, a TS9 and a Voodoo Vibe.

Johnny Marr plays guitar
Here's links to two interviews (found on guitarsite.com) in which JM talks about the different guitars and Amps he used in The Smiths, The Pretenders, The The, and Electronic. They're both quite detailed and go into all the different tunings and other fancy tricks he used to get the smiths sound, so are well worth reading.
For the lazy amongst you here's a summary of what he says about his guitars and rigs in The Smiths: A lot of the first album was recorded with a '54 Telecaster and to a lesser extent a Rickenbacker 360 12-string and a Les Paul all through a Roland Jazz Chorus or a Fender Pro. On this album Marr used an F# tuning while Andy Rourke's bass was in a standard tuning. For the truly amazing guitar sound of "How Soon Is Now" Marr used a mid-'80s Les Paul with a Bigsby retro-fitted. He layered the slide part, and then used an AMS harmoniser (producer John Porter's idea) to record each individual string . "The tremolo effect", Marr says, "came from laying down a regular rhythm part (with a capo at the 2nd fret) on a Les Paul, then sending that out in to the live room to four Fender Twins. John was controlling the tremolo on two of them and I was controlling the other two, and whenever they went out of sync we just had to stop the track and start all over again. It took an eternity." So not something he could easily reproduce on stage with a couple of stomp boxes! From "The Queen is Dead" onwards Marr replaced the Roland and the Pro with a Black Face Twin and on "Strangeways Here We Come" used this with mostly a 355 12-string and '59 Les Paul. As for on effects on stage Marr says that "The Smiths were quite a purist group, and I was a great believer in traditionalism. Just plugging a Gibson ES-335 into my trusty Fender Bassman or Twin Reverb was romantic". http://arcane.morrissey-solo.com/smi...t87/guitar.htm http://arcane.morrissey-solo.com/smi...7/antihero.htm |
