Rig Rundown: John Fogerty Band

We get the lowdown on the former CCR frontman’s rather surprising road gear (including his vintage Les Pauls and rare “bat guitar”), and talk to son and co-guitarist Shane Fogerty about his setup.

To emulate the sounds Fogerty got from his old Kustom amps on the original versions of “Proud Mary” and “Bad Moon Rising,” Fogerty runs a Diezel VH4 or a Diezel Herbert into a custom Ampeg 2x15 cab with Eminence Legend 15" guitar—not bass—speakers.

On May 3, 2015, John Fogerty’s tech, Dave Whiston, and son/co-guitarist Shane Fogerty hung with PG to talk gear before the band’s sold-out show at The Woods Amphitheater at Fontanel in Nashville.

Special thanks to Dave Whiston for details.
