Yes, Marshalls only, but some of them were highly modded. Wolf also used the old Distortion+. On R&W we had Marshall stacks in EVERY room of the studio, even the bathroom. The roomy sound came from the Eventide delays, can't remember the model# but they were made for PA speaker delay and had one in - four out and the delay was set via dipswitches on the front. I used to "create" rooms with two of those things. Not sure about the mics, but I think we used mainly 421s and 409s. Back then I didn't pay that much attention to what mic or preamp was used
but on R&W it was the MCI 636 console pres and EQs. Dieter Dierks had bought a whole mobile truck with Telefunken V72s and V76s (over 60 of them) but it was just sitting in the parking lot and nobody really cared about it
No, I didn't play guitar on those records (or any records for that matter), I quit the band in 1970. On R&W Wolf played
all the guitars, not sure on BTW (didn't record that one) but I would assume he played all of those as well. Wolf came over and checked out the Randall amps at the studio recently and it instantly sounded like him, go figure.
