Here's a video of them recording 'Not Dark Yet' for Bob Dylan's tribute album and you can see that Brian has a Gibson Non Reverse Firebird.

This article about midway through has Brian himself talking about his guitars. Article is a little old now, from 2009.

The oscillating sounds are just a delay with the effect strength and feedback all the way up. when THAT sound comes through as feedback, it makes that oscillating sound. You can change the frequency by playing with the TIME knob, shorter time makes the frequency higher, longer is lower.

I wonder if the Deville was used on the clean parts on Substitution. It sounds so good.

I don't really know if anyone else can see it but I think one of the boss delay pedal is a DD-5. If you look carefully at the right one it has text underneath the knob.

I also noticed just now that he has an epiphone casino in the substitution video. Never seen him play it live but it probably is his.

There is a video of Brian out there from when he recorded the acoustic version of Shadowplay. He is using a Takemine EG561C or similar.

i have a boss DD-7 and ive found something near that. it's called a "trick sound" if you have some sort of delay pedal that has about the same features as mine that would be great. im putting the nobs like this: 1/10 all the way left 10/10 all the way right
Vol: it shoudld be were ever u like it but i prefer about 6 or 7/10
feedback: it should be at 10/10 or lower depending if you want it to make alot of noise.
delay time: i haven't quite figured this out. but i like about 3/10
mode: 200ms
i chaneged the tempo to be really fast so it will oscillate the sounds close but im still not sure

I think he uses a boss Digital delay on a the hold setting or loop and loops whatever he plays back at a high rate, ive stumbled across that same sound just screwing around with my DD-6 before

When I saw them at Audio in Brighton he had a smaller pedal board by the mic but in front of his amp was this, just ridiculous, kevin shields style board of doom, lots of channel switching pedals and a mess of... god knows what. Am seeing them next week and hope to get a proper picture of what is at least by his feet as there was some very odd and expensive things there, including the above, but things with running text displays etc.

I do like the way his sheraton is his main guitar, he's stuck with it for years, great band :-)

0 #3 Lots of amps — uberpro 2009-10-28 04:25
Here's where it gets interesting. Here is the video of him at outside lands: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaBjXGKCIg4

Notice there is a Hiwatt 100 there. BUT there also is a Hot Rod Deville onstage. AND then go to minute 1:35 of that video and see what amp is hidden but poking out, next to the hiwatt.

So which amp(s) is he really using?
