Hiwatt - Mark Bowen and Joe Talbot of IDLES

We got cosy with the IDLES boys at Y Not Festival to talk about Bowen's new Hiwatt rig, album number 3 and the guitarists Joe could get on with.
With extra special thanks to Partisan Records for permission to use "Never Fight a Man with a Perm" and "Rottweiler".

[@sebastiancrowe2453]

It’s weird seeing joe with a a guitar

[@alchase-iw8nb]

Spanky and Drivey, are those technical terms?

[@mattgrealis5407]

Hiwatts give loads of spank and twang,especially running a strat or tele through them the slappy twang similar to Simon Neil’s clean tone,they open up with distortion,Bowen you should run a fender Seville for strict clean tone and modulation alongside the twin hiwatts and then run a line selector so when you slap the distortion or overdrive on the two hiwatts kick in all the crunch but you still have the fender clean tone running above the distortion adding more slap and clarity to your wall of sound!!! Face melter

[@alexmcgilvary5693]
