Brian Gibson

In the provided Tumblr photo, Brian Gibson is shown using a Boss OC-2 Octaver. Notably, in some images, it features a Metal Zone faceplate.

Most photos of Brian's pedalboard include the ODB-3, and seems to be on almost all of the time.

This pedal is the second half of Brian's distortions. It can be seen in most pictures of his pedalboard.

We can see very clear on his pedalboard a Bass Whammy.

Brian Gibson has used various iterations of the DigiTech Whammy, including the original, the 3rd generation, and most recently, the Whammy DT. This is evidenced by a user-uploaded photo on Tumblr.

Brian Gibson exclusively uses the looper function of the Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler, as evidenced by a user-uploaded photo on Equipboard.

In this pictures and most other recent pictures, you can see Brian's PW-10 near the back of his chain. He uses it pretty sparsely, but can be heard most frequently on "Fantasy Empire".

In this video Brian can be seen playing a black Fender Jazz Bass during Lightning Bolt's set at the 2013 Boston Hassle Fest. There's a pretty clear view of the bass around 1:20.

In an interview featured on Smartbassguitar, Brian Gibson discusses his use of the Peavey Rock Master Pre-amp, detailing its role in his setup with Lightning Bolt.

In a user-uploaded photo on Laserbeast, Brian Gibson is shown using a Hartke HA3500C 350-Watt Bass Amp Head. The graphic equalizer settings are fully engaged, although the amp could also be a Hartke HA5000 or HA7000 model.

Brian used a black Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling 5-String Bass when touring 2015's "Fantasy Empire"

Here's a still image of Gibson holding the Music Man.

The bass is also seen here being played during a Lightning Bolt set on May 17th, 2015

In this photo, Gibson is holding a bass where you see the headstock with the Music Man logo. If you look closely, you can also see the word 'stingray'

One of the first basses used in Lightning Bolt's early years and was last seen used on August 31st, 2003. Gibson then switched it out with a greenish/blueish official Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Bass.

Brian Gibson uses the Ampeg SVT-4PRO 1200-Watt bass amplifier head, as seen in a photo from Laserbeast showing it atop 4x10 cabinets.

Among the mountain of gear that the Brians use, there are two SWR 4x10s on the second tier.

This is Gibson's current bass that he's using with Lightning Bolt to tour their new album "Sonic Citadel"

In an article with Premier Guitar, "Gibson’s axe is a 5-string Music Man StingRay that’s rigged with banjo strings on its two high positions. The three bottom strings are tuned in fifths, like a cello, rather than standard fourths. 'On the last record, we tuned the low note down to C, which is C-G-D for the low strings,' says Gibson."

Gibson can be seen here using the bass at a Lightning Bolt performance at Thalia Hall in Chicago on March 18th, 2018.

Brian Gibson uses the ISP Technologies Decimator G-String II noise gate pedal, set on the 20 setting, as part of his current pedalboard to manage unwanted noise. This is evidenced by a discussion on Reddit, which provides an insight into his pedal setup.

In an interview posted by Smartbassguitar.com, Brian Gibson describes how he utilizes the ASHLY Bass Preamp as a part of his Bass rig. Brian Gibson states how he used to split his signal, so that the "Peavey [preamp] did my highs and the ASHLY did my lows". Now Brian opts to just mainly use the ASHLY preamp, stating that it "sounds more aggressive and awesome."
