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.
