The
Hardware
We
realize that there are a lot of people
who are looking for technical
information on the songs the Eagles have
recorded and the instruments they use to
make them. Well, we don't know a whole
heck of a lot about that stuff, so we'll
let these photos and articles speak for
themselves.

A
Joe Walsh Amp
Guitar Player Magazine reviewed an amp
that Joe Walsh helped design. Here's
what it said in the mag:
The brains behind the
MK1 series belong to designer Brian
Thompson and guitarist Joe Walsh--who is
also a partner in G-Craft. Walsh kindly
gave us some insights into the MK1's
development, and how he's currently
using it in the studio with the Eagles.
"The idea for the MK1
came about after Brian and I were
discussing why guitar amps are all so
similar," explains Walsh. "They often
have the same tubes, the same output
impedances, the same speakers, and so
on. We decided to try to build something
really different, and I think we came up
with a great musical-instrument
amplifier.
"In my experience,
most guitar amps only sound good with
guitar, but you can use the MK1 with
pedal steel, acoustic guitar, mandolin
or fiddle because it sounds so
transparent. And having the ability to
apply compression to certain parts of
the frequency spectrum is great. I loe
playing my Gretsch 6120 through this
amp. I use a lot of compression in the
mids to keep the main force of the tone
nicely limited, and sometimes I'll use a
lot of low-end compression to avoid
saturating the speaker--if a speaker is
hit with too much bass, it can't
reproduce the mids very well.
"I've been using the
MK1H with a TC Electronic G-Force in the
loop mainly to track rhythm parts. The
MK1 doesn't have a definitive tone like
a Marshall or a Vox, but the way it
highlights the sound of your guitar and
effects is really amazing."
