Aerosmith's Joe Perry Reveals His Live Marshall Rig

Legendary rock guitarist talks about building his live sound 12-Aug-10

Like all great rock and roll bands, Aerosmith seem to have been going through some turbulant times of late. With singer Steven Tyler falling out with the rest of the group over plans to replace the infamous Simon Cowell on the next series of American Idol.

Joe Perry has spoken out against Tyler's plans, but luckily for us he's also spoken in depth about his live rig, including his huge custom Marshall setup, and his ever-changing pedal board. This interview with Dunlop TV is a great insight into how the gods of rock plan and customise their tone. 

More Information

 

  • For an even more in-depth look at Perry's rig, check out this video of Joe's guitar tech, Trace Foster.

Legend, simple as that


adaniell1234 23-Jan-12 02:58 AM

Love Joe Perry!!!


jerririgit 16-Dec-11 12:25 AM

Joe has a chin that rivals Jay Leno's! Really though. These guys were pretty cool but what most of the public has never realized it that many of Aerosmith's songs/riffs weren't entirely written by members in the band. Sarting on Get Your Wings the producer hired outside guitarist and other musicians to record numerous parts in the studio. No big deal.


thetrendkiller420 20-Nov-11 03:33 PM

joe looks like hes back on the junk lol


musiccalgary 01-Oct-11 04:34 PM

He seems shakey and incoherent...


dirosaga 27-Sep-11 10:16 PM

For such a monster when it comes to rock, he sure is --off the stage--a real humble, down to earth guy. Cool.


CaliforniaDebi 14-Jul-11 06:40 PM

Awesome catch, loved this interview. Joe is like a walking history book of fuckin rock music knowledge eh? Joe is the real deal baby.


YeshuaISMessiah1 02-Apr-11 02:29 AM

gitbox87 21-Sep-10 01:21 AM

He got his name wrong at the end. Its "Mr. Joe Fucking Perry"


Djarra 18-Aug-10 04:19 PM

Is that true about the Horses? If so Chris Guest had a huge pop at him during the run up to Live 8


fendermac 13-Aug-10 09:56 PM

If all those 1959s are working that stage must be the LOUDEST place to be.Lol

EmpTe76 13-Aug-10 03:21 AM

prom3th 12-Aug-10 12:55 AM

Great guitarist. Too bad "Dream On" didn't have the solo he later added to "Sing for the Moment". Didn't know about porcelain slides; cool


DrEviscerator666 12-Aug-10 12:25 AM
