Joshua Homme is an American Rock musician and multi-instrumentalist. He was a founding member of the desert rock band Kyuss, and also as the founding and only continuous member of the hard rock band Queens of the Stone Age ( QOTSA ), in which he sings and plays guitar and sometimes bass. Homme co-founded and occasionally performs with Eagles of Death Metal as its drummer, and continues to produce and release a musical improv series with other musicians, mostly from the Palm Desert Scene, known as The Desert Sessions. Josh also plays in the super group Them Crooked Vultures with Dave Grohl and other musical greats.

Comments
Chack this out: effectsbay.com/.../...
There you see his stuff.
I also have seen a picture of a Silvertone Amp he's using for Vultures
Those Maton guitars he uses are actually very bland.
He doesn't. He plays drums in that band, Jesse Hughes plays guitar in that band
you have to tune your guitar to c#-ab-db-gb-bb-eb for this track
use a bass amp and a fuzz (i use the big muff) and it sound very close
And a question to jon: do you know which ochtave multiplexer he uses?
Guitars:
Signature Maton
Motor Ave Bel Air
72 Tele Thinline
Pedals (Best Guess From Visuals/Hearing):
Moog Analog Delay
SIB Echodrive
Boss RE-20
Dunlop Volume Pedal
Boss GE-7
Fulltone Ultimate Octave
Octave Multiplexer
StoneDeaf Parametric Filter
Morley Fuzz Wah
Rotovibe
Korg Rack Tuner (on top amp)
..some of these I can confirm through photos, some I actually heard during the concert (multiplexer).
Amps:
Ampeg VT-40 w/ 2x12 Cab
Another Ampeg VT-40 on floor.
Was a killer show. I would love to see a pedalboard shot if someone could snag one of this tour. I knwo that probably won't happen though lol.
This is just from being a fanboy. Was excited to be watching new videos and finding out what he was using, yet again!
similar high gain Sunn tube head. I can't tell if it is an original Model T or a 90's Fender-era re-issue... but if you look up footage of the 2010 Lowlands festival on YouTube- you'll see it.
-maestro mpf-1 !!!
-Guyatone tremolo (the orange pedal on the picture.
-Bassman amp (making of Lullabies to Paralyze)
-Tube Works amps
