According to his own instructional video - he uses the following pedals: Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer - two of them in fact - one hotter than the other. A Boss Octaver, Wah Pedal, and a Boss Chorus. He runs two Fender Bassman's - 1960 & 1962 stacks (heads and cabinets). He uses the Roland RE-301 Space Echo. Doesn't use the tape delay - but just the echo circuit. He also has (what appeared to me to be) a Korg tuner of some sort. Not sure about that one though. Other than the '59 Gretsch G6120 - that is about it. He keeps it simple - and awesome. Remember, most of the tone comes from his fingers - and not just the equipment. Nobody else would produce exactly the same sound from his equipment as he does. Chase the TONE - the SOUND - not the equipment!

He definitely also uses a Gretsch White Falcon, as presented in the cover of the Choo Choo Hot Fish album.
