Brad Barr's Gear
In a live performance on KEXP, Brad Barr of The Barr Brothers can be seen playing an emerald green Guild Starfire V Hollowbody guitar.
"The MORE pedal and an Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail reverb are always on."
In this video, we can see Brad tweaking the pedal at 27:03.
"Magnatone : No it's not your grandmother's radiator. Found it in a corner of a used guitar shop. Plugged it in, cranked the reverb and the signature true vibrato and immediately I felt transported to a 60s sci-fi film. I fell in love and bought it right away without even trying it with the harp. Turns out they are a match made in outer space. Just like the harp it's a serious pain in the behind to move around but I won't go anywhere without it."
"I also crank up a Union Tube & Transistor MORE pedal to boost the signal. That’s my “desert island” pedal I use all the time, because the gain structure is so great."
"I like to use a Fender ’65 Deluxe Reverb complemented with a low-wattage amp for extra bite."

"Afterneath pedal, and a ripping tone on the J-45 that has no business coming from an acoustic guitar via the Homebrew Electronics HBE UFO Ultimate Fuzz Octave."
"I get otherworldly reverbs from the EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath pedal"
"Those strings are high off the fretboard, so I use a Fishman Rare Earth magnetic humbucker. "
"And then the other is a 1951 Gibson J-45. I found that one in Chelsea Guitars in New York."
"Brad Barr plays his circa 1940 Oahu slide guitar."

"I have a Supro that has a nice snap, and a tweed Fender ’57 Custom Deluxe reissue that’s a little cushier."
