Kevin Shields Gear Project Thread

Kevin Shields has a ton of gear and there's lots of documentation for it all over the internet. Getting it all entered into Equipboard is going to take some time, so why not split up the work? I'm going to post the links to the various sources in this thread and then update the thread when things get added. Please join in so we can get this done.

Best sources for 1990s gear: Forum messages from a former MBV road tech:

Kevin Shields' Equipboard: http://equipboard.com/pros/kevin-shields

Ok. I just took my first pass through the two links with photos of his 2008 live rig. I got everything except the items that aren't currently listed in Equiboard. Those are:

  • Devi Ever Dream Mangler
  • Pete Cornish Kevin Shields fuzz
  • Z.Vex Johnny Octave
  • Catalinbread Ottava Magus
  • Roger Mayer Axis Fuzz
  • MG Effects That’s Echo Folks
  • Death By Audio Octave Clang
  • Boss TW-1
  • SIB Nick Nitro
  • Roger Mayer Voodoo-1
  • Pete Cornish ST-2
  • Devi Ever White Spider
  • Dr. Scientist Tremolessence
  • Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff Pi
  • Shere Sound Whirligig
  • Roger Mayer Mongoose X
  • Vorg Warp Sound
  • Malekko Echo 600

So that stuff all needs to get entered into Equipboard at some point.

Still do do, his amps from the one pic.

Wow, you put in some work! I'll help you tackle some of these this weekend. Nice to have another MBV fan around. :)

By our powers combined...

Well, I've came through this stuff, and combined it with yours, so.
