Duffy tells PG about the three-amp setup he uses to recreate the tones from "She Sells Sanctuary," "Fire Woman," and more on the Cult's Electric 13 tour.
Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger met with the Cult’s Billy Duffy before their show at Minglewood Hall in Memphis, Tennessee, on December 15, 2013. Duffy explains the “not very deep mysteries” of a triple-amp rig powered by his signature Gretsch Falcons, custom Gibson Les Pauls, and a bevy of mostly mainstream pedals.

Duffy’s guitar signal goes through a Line 6 G90 wireless to a switchless Jim Dunlop 95Q wah, a Boss TU-3 tuner and NS-2 Noise Suppressor, a prototype Dunlop Echoplex EP101 (which will debut at Winter NAMM 2014), a Boss BF-2 flanger, a Boss DM-2 analog delay, an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer, a Lovepedal Kalamazoo, a Whirlwind the Bomb boost, and two Boss DD-3 digital delays. His pedalboard also holds a Morley George Lynch Tripler amp-switcher.
