Andy Babiuk

As a guitarist, writer, and producer for the revered garage band the Chesterfield Kings, Andy has enjoyed cult notoriety for more that 20 years. But it’s as author of Beatles Gear, his critically heralded book, that he’s achieved international acclaim among Beatles’ fans and vintage instrument enthusiasts alike. In addition, Andy is a staff consultant to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, consultant for major auction houses in London, and resident guitar expert at the House of Guitars in Rochester, NY.
The Chesterfield Kings have been using 12-string Rickenbacker guitars live and on recordings for years. In the studio we’ve used compressors and treble boost to enhance the electric 12-string, but to me it never sounded quite right. I plugged my Rickenbacker 12-string into a JangleBox and instantly heard the tone I was always looking for… it’s like the Byrds and the Beatles on steroids!!”
