In an article Kessler says, "I played my 1960 Gretsch Anniversary on almost every song on the latest record and a good deal of the eponymous fourth record, too. But like most of the guitars I own, the Anniversary has a very weak signal. If I didn’t dress it up with effects in a certain way, it would sound very weak. But I’m also very lazy with effects. I use a couple of overdrives, a Boss DD-5 and an Eventide Space pedal, which is a new thing that I like. It’s better than any analogue." (original source here, article dated March 31, 2015)
