Huff has been known to use a wide variety of equipment. Within the Tyler brand he has been known to use the Tyler Classic Signature Model and the Tyler Ultimate Weapon with active mid-boost circuitry, a recessed Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo and dual humbuckers that give off a “warm fat sound.” (James Tyler himself has described it as “a sort of Les Paul-meets-Telecaster.”)

For his other acoustic/electric guitars, Huff uses a range of Stratocasters and Telecasters, a Tom Anderson Classic T, and Gibson Les Pauls. When it comes to amps and effects, Huff has more gear than most mortals. Some of the featured gear from the Giant days includes:

Peavey 5150 Mesa/Boogie Quad preamp with VHT stereo tube power amp Mesa/Boogie Mark II TC Electronic 2290 Yamaha SPX90 Roland SDE3000
