Angus uses late 70's Marshall JMP MkII 2203 100w amps with the gain turned all the way up for large concerts with following settings:

Presence = 5

Bass = 10

Mids = 4

Treble = 8

Gain = 6 or 7

Volumn = 7 to 10

Note: The HB Pickups in his SG's are overwound with smaller gauge vintage wire and hot as {censored}!!!

 

Malcolm sometimes uses the same late 70's Marshall JMP MkII 2203's and sometimes uses 70's Marshall JMP Super Lead 100's (4) inputs with no Master. The pickups on "The Beast", 1964 Gretsch Jet Double Cutaway, are also overwound and the magnets dipped in wax to help prevent feedback.

Angus never changes the stock pickups in any of his guitars.

Here is an interview with his guitar tech. Apparently, he uses no effects at all. See page 2.

It's amazing that this interview takes 3 pages. This is how it should have been written:

 

musician.com: "So, what gear does Angus use?"

 

tech: "What do you think?"

 

musician.com: "Uh, SGs and Marshalls?"

 

tech: "Yep."

 

:lol:

AC/DC has always been straight into the amp. what rock have you been under?

 

+1

 

I have a book around here somewhere where he talks about having a closet full of effects and every once in a great while he pulls some out and toys with them then throws them back in because he remembers again why he hates them.
