Comments
No, he doesn't. That guitar was used solely for the "Crush Crush Crush" video and was destroyed.
thanks
The strat is the Rory Gallagher Strat.. That's the guitar that influenced him to make the vintage custom tele..
What you should do is get us some pictures of the inside (the back of the pick ups and other electronics)
are the pots the stock fender ones?
The neck pickup is a SPH90 Phat Cat while the Bridge is a Duncan Alnico 2 pro with chrome cover. The intro of decode, he uses the BOSS DD-20 Giga Delay( Modulater mode if i'm not wrong ) on clean with some reverb.
in the intro of decode he uses a clean setting with reverb and delay
also another thing that effect uses the intro of decode? ... thanks
Yeah, it was just for the video.. it was literally smashed along with the gear at the end of the video
Never seen him use it live though.
WHAT?! How?!!

Awesome. Been waiting for something like that for ages. I wish he went through his pedals/amps/rack effects though..
Found this new video, it was posted today, Josh is showing all his fender guitars
Check out Taylor's page:
uberproaudio.com/.../...
You can get a Fender Jaguar, which is the model he uses, but he had a slightly modified one made for him by Fender.
yeah.. in the studio during Brand New Eyes, im pretty sure he used a Strat on some parts of songs, probably on this song since hes using it in the video.
Yes. :)
But noted as studio use.
That there is an Orange OR120, it could be the reissue or the original, the differences are subtle. Now we can add this amp because we now know he is using it.

shows josh recording in the studio, with an orange amp turned on in the background.
it is not josh's rig in the photo. it is taylor's rig because josh is not using an EH Doctor Q and the volume pedal is always present in josh's rig. by the way, what pedal is in the top right of the pedalboard?

"Farro, a true Tele guy at heart, ordered up a custom-built gold-top Telecaster and another Tele with a relic finish that Galuzka beat to hell to capture the essence of Rory Gallagher’s famously worn 1961 Fender Strat."
OMFG, I think thats a totally new guitar! Its a 72 Telecaster Deluxe with a worn finish, a regular humbucker in the bridge, and what looks like some sort of P90 pickup in the neck. This may be a new custom guitar for josh from fender, and to the people who made a Taylor page, thank you!
Most people would only want a DSL50 so they could crank it at lower volumes and get a better tone. With bands like these, that wouldnt be an issue. He's said it before himself somewhere, its a DSL100
Also, i've seen Taylor at a rehearsal. and he had an Orange amp in the background. Not sure which one it was, but thought i'd just mention it
How do you know its a 50? :S It's more likely the 100 watt version.

The talk about his Epiphone is at the bottom. In this interview, he also mentions his Custom '72 Fender Tele.

Those amps in the background are not actually his. If anyone knew anything about bands like Paramore recording, they would know they do it at a producer's studio. Paramore recorded the album with Rob Cavallo. Producers like him have their own wide range of amps, effects, guitars and everything at their own studio. When bands come in they sometimes use some of the producers gear on the record. As far as i know only Taylor York (their other guitarist) uses an Orange amp. Other than that, Josh Farro still uses the JCM 2000 DSL100.
I agree with you that we don't know if he was using them, but we should still add them. Oh, I will also be soon watching a making of the Brand New Eyes album Special Edition DVD, so I might have more amps to add. Peace out Uber Pro Audio community!
The only amp that Josh and Taylor uses is the Marshall JCM2000 DSL50. Maybe in studio he uses another one like the JCM900, but Live they use the JCM2000
I was also curious about that photo. It's him in the studio and there are at least 10 or more amps laying around, so not sure if it is safe to assume which ones he was using or not.
In the studio I think he used a Marshall JCM 800. Live I think he uses a JCM 2000 DSL 100.
An Orange OD120 or OR120 (they look very similar)
And a Hiwatt DR-103 (Custom
100)

here are some pictures of it... it's easy to find them if you add final riot tour to his name- he mostly plays this during those shows.
thank you!!!

Boss Tu-2 tuner, Electro Harmonics - doctor q, Boss Gigadelay, Digitech whammy, His amps are still either Marshall jcm 2000 (I think he prefers this one) or a Mesa Boogie dual rectifier. and a picture i107.photobucket.com/.../...

e
In his black tele deluxe is it standard pickups?
How does he change delay times for different songs? are they stored on the dd-20?
That epiphone GoldTop is a Epiphone Elitist.Its a High End guitar, same quality as a gibson.
do you actually know it for a fact or is that just your assumption?
its such a punchy sound..
and does anyone know which amp head he used for their 'Final RIOT!' live dvd?
www.daddario.com/.../
He's also done this to either his old 72 Tele reissue or a new one (humbucker and p90 combo). That guitar also now has a regular fender neck instead of the big strat headstock. You can see it in live videos for Brick by Boring Brick.
I'm afraid there's no pics i can find of this so to see it you'll just have to watch videos and be very observent.
do u know what guitar that he use in the "ignorance" video???looks like tele deluxe but with rosewood fingerboard???is it his signature series guitar???
rock on paramore,rock on uberproaudio
its basically a tele thinline, with P-90 pickups and only partially hollowed out, with a sparkly gold-top finish.
If someone knows the picture I'm talking about maybe they'll put it up.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mODbvy4uBUA
is he using a squire or what? im pretty sure thats his 72' telecaster, but i think he swapped necks with his new thinline.
Also, in TWYG video, it seems to be a fender, because on the squier (which I have), the pickup selector knob is black, where as on the fenders it's white. You can also see in the video the neck says fender, and not squier.

As Far as Gibsons, He uses a Les Paul Custom also.
The effects he uses in the studio weren't actually on his board but now there are five other effects added. In the image, his volume pedal is off to the side.

The teles! Ah, where to begin?!? The "gold top" one is a Fender Tele Thinline Custom with a gold sparkle finish and P-90 pickups. The telecaster in the new song video, is a '52 American Vintage Series Tele.
I think it's pretty cool that someone stated that Josh used a '62 Ice Blue Metallic Fender Jaguar on the "crushcrushcrush" video, just to throw this out there he used a Squier Tele Custom in the "That's What You Get" vid.
I've covered guitars and effects so far and the last topic i have to hit before ending this is amps. He still uses the JCM2000 and the Dual Rectifier amp heads. He uses Mesa/Boogie Custom-made Cabs, BUT! he also uses a Marshall 1960A Angled Cab.
Alright, that pretty much covers it!
Now, I was about to question the validity of your statement in regards to Josh using the Squire Tele Deluxe in the "That's What You Get" video, but then I looked at it, and the headstock on the guitar in that video is definitely the smaller one of the Squire model.
And don't forget about his old Fender Telecaster (the Standard model, with a sunburst color). I believe in the song "Where the Lines Overlap", the "new" guitarist, Taylor, uses it live.
i mean,
delay time Or what tempo,
his pedal settings basically.
yeah thats too hard i know
:confused:
Here is a video of him playing it:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC3aJ7QpXZ0
great plying n that's so cool
:idea: smile
the distortion most probably comes directly from his Mesa Dual Rectifier.
Delay is obviously from DD-20.
that's what you're hearing
Brown Gibson SG
i saw him use it on a live show
Rock On Paramore !
Looks something similar to Taylor York's '72 thinline but not quite the same.
Anyone know the exact model?
ca.youtube.com/watch?v=GlvREw84Mws
They're different than the Tele Deluxe Reissue's widerange humbuckers.. I'm pretty sure, anyway. :s
Hope it helped
