Anthony Phillips' Gear
In this Time article, there is a photo of Phillips with a Red Fender Stratocaster.
As stated in this Guitar Player article: "Phillips also incorporated a Rickenbacker 450 electric 12-string into his rig, tuned to C-G, G-E, E-C, C-G, G-C, C-C (left to right), to invoke a largerthan- life sound."
This Guitar Player article states that Phillips used a Roland Space Echo RE-201.
This Guitar Player article states that Phillips used a Polymoog on one of his albums: "Following Wise After the Event, Phillips’ music moved into a much more personal and uncompromising space. The third reissue, 1984—originally released in 1981—saw a major directional shift, as the album comprised almost entirely electronic music performed on a Moog Polymoog and a Roland GR-500 guitar synth."
Phillips states in this interview: "For effects, I use a Roland Dimension D; Strymon BlueSky reverb and Timeline delay; and T-Rex and Coopersonic overdrives, plus old faithfuls like the MXR Dyna Comp and Phase 100. I even have my old green Roland Chorus/Space Echo for occasional use."
Phillips states in this interview: "I usually play less electric, but am plugging in again for a new project, swapping between my ’57 Les Paul goldtop and a ’60s Strat."
Phillips can be seen playing an Ovation 12 String 1658 Legend in this photo.
