Guitar and equipment

hello everyone.

i think this might be my first ever post.



I'm sure in the past there have probably been discussions about Prince's guitars and amp and fx - can anyone point me in the right direction. Perhaps a link or a thread where this can be found?

i was at the o2 show on 11th Aug - first time i've seen the great man live before and what struck me was his guitar skills and sound. The man is SOOOOO underrated as a guitar player.

He has the right balance between technical ability and emotional creativity, every note is so beautiful.

Back in 2004,...Guitar Player magazine featured an article on Prince with his guitar tech (Takumi) disclosed the following on amps and fx:

amps: Mesa/Boogie Heartbreaker
speaker cabiinets: Mesa/Boogie Recto 2x12 (loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s).
rack gear: Digital Music MX-8, Roland GP-16, Zoom 9030, RanE ME30, Behringer Denoiser, Furman PL-8, Furman PL-Pro, Furman AR-117.
stompboxes:Boss DS-2 Turbo Overdrive, Boss VB-2 Vibrato, Boss DD-3 Digital Delay. Boss FL-2 Flanger, Boss OC-2 Octave, Boss BD-2 Blues Driver, DunLop CryBaby wah. Dunlop Rotovibe.

Sorry I don't have a link for ya!

I think he's using MESA/Boogie Lonestar 2 x 12 combo amps lately. That's what was set up at the aftershows and you could clearly see them at the 2006 Brits performance. Wendy Melvoin and Prince were using them in the blue tolex covering.
