Cole Alexander

The Black Lips' octave distortion pedal of choice. According to this inofficial interview - http://thischarmingsaucepan.tumblr.com/post/23483448523/fuzz-wisdom-from-the-black-lips-cole-alexander - Cole had this to say: ""That little French Toast is a killer pedal man…" He went on to tell me that back home they had crates full of every kind of vintage and modern fuzz imaginable, which I could entirely believe, but that the Danelectro was above and beyond the most fun fuzz he’d ever played. Before we left him I thought I’d chance my arm and ask him what fuzz was used on 'Veni Vidi Vici.’ He pointed at his pedal board towards the surf green box of madness in question."

Cole Alexander of The Black Lips uses the Danelectro DJ-1 Pastrami Overdrive, as noted in "Fuzz Wisdom from The Black Lips' Cole Alexander" on Tumblr.

It my be hard to see, but cole is playing a Gretsch billy-bo jupiter in the video. He's been playing it since roughly 2012, give or take a few years.

According to the SPIN article, it's his "favorite piece of musical gear"; “My Squier Bullet. It was my first guitar. An old dobro picker named Pete Benbow gave it to me. So many fluids of different origins have graced this Japanese-crafted masterpiece.”

In the background is a Fender Deluxe reverb mixed to the PA, this is Cole's main amp

During the 00's Cole used a white Fender Jaguar frequently. We can see it in the video of their song Katrina.

In this instagram post by Black Lips bassist Jared, Cole is holding a blue Ibanez mikro bass.
