Ronny North’s Chatting with the Pros

G.C.: I m using Matchless now. I usually need two amps to get my sound. In G R it was an AC30 and a 50watt Marshall. In Heart it was a blackface Bassman and a Marshall. This Matchless is 30watts and it rules. I m using one head with 2 - 4×12 s. My cabinets are plexiglass. I wanted the backline to be see through, cuz we had such an amazing light show and the speakers look like they re hanging in mid air.

The plexi is cosmetic, it adds a little lo-mids to the sound, but we close mic, so it s not a big deal. I don t play with a lot of gain on my amp, cuz I need to hear my rhythms accents. I also like to hear the high strings in a chord when I play. I use a Tube Screamer modded by the analog man for extra sustain on solos. I also use a Crybaby Wah that Dunlop modded with led lights, I also added a Super Hard on to my pedal world and sometimes a Phase 90.
