In this article from Guitar.com, Rivers mentions he uses a standard Gibson SG guitar. When asked if he's done anything special with the guitar he responds "No, the guitar is standard, but we invented a box called the "De-Bigulator" which is just a little switch that turns down the volume - or the current, I don't even know what it is - going to the amp. So it's like I'm quickly turning down my volume knob, but all I have to do is step on this switch. That's how I go from dirty to clean."
