Rig Rundown: Waddy Wachtel

Badge
Video

One of the most recorded guitar players in history takes us behind the scenes while on tour with Stevie Nicks for a look at his bare-bones setup.

At the suggestion of his longtime friend, Leslie West, Wachtel switched to two Blackstar Artist 30 amps. Although they have two channels, Wachtel keeps them in the first channel, and just cranks them.
