Equipment and Sound
Krantz is most identified with a Stratocaster-type electric guitar, his early favorite being a 1973 Fender Stratocaster – which he, ironically, has said is "not a particularly good guitar". Recently he has played a model manufactured by James Tyler Guitars. Earlier releases such as "Signals" feature a chorus effect commonly associated with fusion guitar. Within several years, however, his sound became more organic, featuring analog effects such as overdrive, wah-wah, and a Moogerfooger ring modulator. For amplification, Krantz has used both Fender Deluxe Reverb and, more recently, Marshall amplifiers, namely a Marshall 2553 with a Bogner 2x12 cabinet, for a heavier sound. He's also said in a Guitar Player interview that he used a Tyler JT46 amp during the Howie 61 sessions.
