David Keuning is the guitarist for the American rock band The Killers. In 2000 Dave moved to Las Vegas because he felt he was missing out on great shows while living in Iowa. He worked at The Venetian for a while before finally starting the band The Killers. Good thing for us music heads that he did!

It's a 1970's Fender Starcaster, Google them. I think they were made from 75 79/80. They're very very rare guitars. Your probably looking at about £2000-2500 for one.
I heard him say that - he lied.
Listen to what blp is saying..
my list...big muff on the outro
tiul....od2 ? "red" gain on the devilles w/ "blue" ts9 until the "chicks/percussive" chugs(od1 devilles) then pre chorus clean ch part.
muff: river(riffs), tranquilize(intro), neon tiger(outro solo).

someone can help me and tell me what pedal are in this photograph? I wait answer my mail is the.teddypicker
THANX
the ts9's are one 'blue" and one "white' LED keeley models. the big muff models vary, but all are keeley modded.
the DG103 drives a straight hiwatt cab, miked forward facing with the main and spare head in a rack behind the set cart. the devilles run all the fx.....only one has the whammy for the octave effect and are rear facing and miked w/ their 2nd spkr outs hitting the other two forward facing hiwatt cabs and ARE NOT miked.
that appears to be whats on daves pedalboard at the moment or atleast around the time day & age came out
