Adam Gardner

Clearly visible at 41:52 in this live performance with Guster at the House of Blues in Boston.

According to this April 25, 2007 Line 6 forum post, Guster used the POD Pro during an April 24, 2007 show. It was mentioned by bandmate Ryan Miller in this video, the final episode of Ganging Up on the Sun documentary "Joe's Place" from the same year.

I saw Guster last night and all guitar/basses, and I think the lap steel, were run into POD Pros and then into the house system. They played a variety of "classic" guitars - ES-335, Gretsch, Ric, even a Danelectro baritone. Also several acoustics.

One guitarist had a short board and used his own pedals and the other guitarists seemed to use the POD's effects.

All the tones sounded great and really complimented each of the guitars.

PM: So when you're not on the bass, is somebody else on the bass? Or some songs don't have any bass? JP: Yeah, exactly. Ryan is usually the other go-to guy on bass. PM: Ah. But somebody is always on the bass--or not necessarily? JP: Well, here's what they do, and this is from the old-school Guster: Adam uses one of those Chet Atkins guitars, the solid body ones, because they're so--I don't know, they're just solid. PM: I'm not a big fan of those, particularly. JP: It's like driving a U-haul through the city. PM: [laughs] JP: But he has one of those midi pickups on there, and he gets bass out of that. PM: Oh, does he pick up the strings separately, or something? JP: It only picks up the back two strings for the bass. PM: Oh. JP: And then he can play like a little guitar. Like if he does an A bar chord, it's going to have an A in the bass, and then you'll hear the strings ring on the other one. PM: Oh. JP: It's kind of wild. And that's how they used to get away with it back in the day. PM: So does it drop the bottom two strings down an octave or something funky? JP: It actually samples like a bass sample, like a stand-up bass, it triggers a midi thing. PM: Oh, my God. That's totally cool. JP: Yeah, it's pretty wild. PM: But is it a quality bassy sound, or just kind of a kitschy bassy sound? JP: I never heard it out front. I'll tell you one thing, it's like really deep-- PM: Wow. JP: --because it's kind of artificial, it gets all that sub stuff going on that you can't get on the bass guitar. PM: Subsonic, yeah. JP: Yeah. When I first saw them, I didn't know how they were doing it. I thought they were just triggering a tone down below to make it appear like there was something filling up the low end, because it wasn't even defined. [laughs] But they didn't have the best sound then, back then.

The official C.F. Martin & Co. website states on Gardner's artist page that his "preferred Martin guitar" is the GPCPA2 Mahogany.
