Title: Material used by Mark Knopfler on the 1993 album "On the Night"
Post by: Coco on October 28, 2024, 10:50:20 AM
Hello everyone, I am new to the forum.
My first post is a materiel question, maybe there will be a Mark Knorpfler fan's and also guitarist who will have the answer  ;)

Do you know what equipment (amp, hardware and effects pedal) Mark Knopfler uses on the 1993 Live album "On the night" with his Pensa-Suhr ? I would love to recreate the crunchy sound he uses on the song "Calling Elvis" and "Heavy Fuel" from this album.

If anyone has the answer, I would be happy to exchange with him/her. Thank you very much

Hi,
you might want to check out Ingo's site: https://www.mk-guitar.com/gear-on-all-songs-for-all-albums-wiki/gear-on-album-on-every-street/ (https://www.mk-guitar.com/gear-on-all-songs-for-all-albums-wiki/gear-on-album-on-every-street/).
The guitar seems to be the Pensa MK1. The amp is not given, but I believe he was using Soldanos a lot around that time.
The guitar is available as a replica called  Suhr Standard Legacy TC. It looks very similar, but they use different woods, so the sound may be a bit different.
Keep us posted :-)

I'm pretty sure it is described in detail in this magazine from 1992. You can probably find a PDF copy of it somewhere online.

You need a PensaSuhr + a Soldano Amp (possibly the original SLO100 but all the others are close) + his fingers.
The extra effects are useless.
