Guitars used by Dan Boeckner on Thin Mind

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Ernie Ball Music Man St. Vincent Signature

Avg price: $2,295.95

"Ah thank you! It’s the Annie Clark Music Man model."

On Thin Mind, Boeckner largely split his time between a Music Man St Vincent, his Lincoln Gin, an old Danelectro baritone model and a 12-string electric they DI-ed straight into the board. In harness with Goodmanson, he was meticulous in ensuring that each time his guitar spoke it had something worthwhile to add to the conversation. Guitar.com

Effects Pedals used by Dan Boeckner on Thin Mind

Delay Effects Pedals

EarthQuaker Devices Disaster Transport

Avg price: $452.50

Pedal-wise Boeckner is a big fan of EarthQuaker Devices, with their Disaster Transport getting a decent workout on Thin Mind, but it’s his Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water that he feels made the biggest impact on the LP’s sound. It pops up on almost every track and, again reinforcing that Wolf Parade give and take, was employed to play off Krug’s shift towards FM digital synth sounds redolent of mid-period Depeche Mode.

Chorus Effects Pedals
