Howdeshell’s guitar pedalboard is simple. “I use an [Ibanez] Tube Screamer, which doesn’t completely distort the guitar—you can still hear the strings,” he says. “I also have a Boss Digital Delay, which I use for a really short slapback delay on pretty much every song. And for reverb, sometimes I’ll turn it up my Holy Grail superloud so that everything turns into a wash.”

Ampwise, Howdeshell bounced around from a ’60s Vox AC30, Fender Twin, Fender Blues Junior, and Orange amp. “We always took the dry signal of the guitar so we could send back through another amp if, for instance, Brian wanted to try the same part but with a more driven amp sound,” Scott says. “On occasion we tried sending the amped signal back through an amp a second time if we wanted an especially distorted sound.” And in addition to guitar, Scott also amped up Moog Minimoog and Korg microKORG synths.
