Rig Rundown: Peter Frampton

One of classic rock’s most revered players walks us through his expansive collection of modded Marshalls, iconic Les Pauls, and vintage stomps.

The power section of this amp goes direct to feed the center cab of a trio of Marshall 4x12 cabinets. All of the stereo effects in the rig run through a Mesa/Boogie Recto 2:100 Power Amplifier to the two outside 4x12 cabinets. All three of the Marshall cabs are 1960BV and are loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers.
