Daniel Kessler

In the photo provided, Daniel Kessler is shown playing an Epiphone Casino in Cherry finish. He has removed the pickguard, added a Bigsby Vibrola, and changed the stock golden knobs to black knobs.

You can also see a Vox V810 Valve-Tone in this image.

"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)

Daniel Kessler plays a 1967 Epiphone Casino in a burst finish with a Frequensator Tailpiece. He can be seen playing it in this video of Interpol performing Leif Erikson live. Around the 3:15 mark the guitar can be seen pretty clearly. Kessler's Epiphone has black knobs and nickel hardware.

One of the indicators of this guitar's particular model year is the 19th fret neck/body joint.

In an article, he confirms it's a 1967: "I have a 1967 Casino for some of our older songs. I’ve been using Casinos since Turn On The Bright Lights. That and my 1960 Anniversary are basically the only two guitars I’ve played throughout my entire tenure in Interpol." (original source here, article dated March 31, 2015)

In this photo of Daniel Kessler's pedalboard circa 2005, his MXR M-133 Micro Amp Pedal can be seen.

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)

In this screenshot from an article, Daniel Kessler can be seen talking about how the signal of his guitars is weak, and he needs to dress the sound up with effects: "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)

Daniel Kessler's Tech 21 CompTortion can be seen in the image above, as the 5th pedal from the left.

In a user-uploaded photo, Daniel Kessler can be seen using a Boss TR-2 Tremolo pedal, positioned as the second pedal from the left, for various songs.

In the picture above, Daniel Kessler can be seen using a cherry red Gibson ES-330.

This guitar first made an appearance on the "Our Love to Admire" tour in 2007. Kessler mainly used it for the slightly heavier, and for more of his "riffier" songs, such as "The Heinrich maneuver", "Rest my Chemistry", as well as "PDA" and "Narc".

This has more recently been a backup guitar for his Epiphone Casino.

In a user-uploaded photo, Daniel Kessler's pedalboard features the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb Pedal, prominently positioned on the upper side.

In the early days of Interpol, Daniel used a telecaster. 11:33

Daniel Kessler's touring guitar amp is a Fender Vintage Reissue '65 Twin Reverb Guitar Amp, as seen in this photo of his live rig. He says, "I’ve always liked reverb but with a slightly dirty, almost throwback 60s sound.

Ideally, if I could tour with my old Fender Princeton 60s amp that I use for recording I would, but unfortunately it’s too fragile and not tour sturdy."

Daniel Kessler used a Gibson ES-335 standard guitar for the song 'Roland' on the Antics tour. In the video above, a clear picture of the guitar can be seen about 1:55.

Very little is known about this guitar. Is it actually Kessler's? What has happened to this guitar? This is clearly an ES-335 as it has humbuckers and not P-90's a pickups and a Gibson, as it doesn't have the Epiphone (which he's known to use) 'E' on it.

This photo of Daniel Kessler's pedalboard reveals he powers his pedals with a pair of Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+ Power Supplies. Verification of this being Daniel's board can be found here.

Daniel Kessler uses a Keeley Fuzz Head pedal, as shown in the referenced image, which was initially mistaken for a Diaz pedal.

In the video above, a nice view of the guitar can be seen around 0:20.

In the pre-Turn on the Bright Lights days, Kessler used a range of guitar's and one of these was a burgundy red Epiphone Casino from 1967.

"They had a beautiful red burgundy Casino. It was actually for a pretty good price considering it was from 1967 or something. The guy was a friend of the band and gave me a really good deal. It was the guitar I used for all of Turn on the Bright Lights."

Kessler also talks about how his 1967 Epiphone Casino was stolen in a 2004 interview with Nardwuar.

EBow can be seen 4:16 on Daniel's hands...

In this video ‘Interpol @ Corona Capital 2019’, at “0:48”, Dunlop Tortex Standard 0.73 Yellow can be seen wedged to his mic stand.

In a user-uploaded photo, a ZVEX Super Hard On Boost pedal is visible on the far left, used by Daniel Kessler. The angle slightly distorts the view, but its presence is unmistakable.

A ZVEX Super Duper can be seen on this pedalboard (Next to the Vox); the angle is a bit weird making the pedal look bigger

In the uploaded picture, you can see Daniel Kessler using the amp.
