Dave Grohl

During the "In Your Honor" era, Dave Grohl played a Gibson Firebird Studio 70's Tribute, as shown in the user-uploaded photo on Imgur.

Dave Grohl was often seen playing through a Silverface Fender Bandmaster Reverb head through a 4x12 in the early days of the Foo Fighters in 1995-1996. He ran the amp clean with his white Les Paul and used a ProCo RAT 2 pedal for all the distortion. Can be seen on the SNL 1995 performances as well as the Letterman performance from the same year.

Dave Grohl is using this acoustic guitar for the acoustic songs he performs with the Foo Fighters.

This video by DW Drums shows Dave Grohl playing the DW Jazz Series Drums in Laser Blue:

16x24 Bass Drum with black lacquer hoops, 9x13, 10x14 (alternate), 16x16, 16x18 Tom-Toms, 16x20 single-headed bass drum used as Floor Tom, 5x8 and 5x10 Maple Concert Toms.

In this video, Dave Grohl is performing an acoustic version of Everlong for the first time ever, live on the Howard Stern Show in 1997. He is using a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar in a natural finish, as evidenced by the pickguard shape and designs, fretboard pearl parallelogram inlays, and headstock (seen somewhat clearly at 1:24 into the video).

"The main riff is an Explorer playing through the Memory Man and the Vox, and the harmonics were done with the same setup," explains Dave Grohl in reference to the production of the song Headwires. The item directly mentioned by Grohl is an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal (not the later XO reissue).

Dave uses Custom Audio Amplifiers PT100 with Fender Tonemasters

He used this amp when he performed at the Kennedy Center for a tribute performance to Led Zeppelin.

Used on Grohl's background vocals for "The Pretender", as stated by mix engineer Rich Costey in this March 2008 Sound on Sound interview.

(...) Vocals: Mercury EQH, UA 175, Roger Mayer RM58, Waves DeEsser, Digidesign Reel Tape Saturation, Sound Toys Echoboy, Pultec EQP1A, SPL De-esser, Neve Portico 5042

"If I recall correctly, the lead vocal is doubled throughout the song. I used a Waves DeEsser plug-in on it, which I'm quite a fan of, as I've not heard a hardware de-esser that is competitive with it. The main signal chain after that was a Mercury EQH tube EQ and then a couple of vintage UA 175s. I hit the background vocals with the Roger Mayer RM58. I haven't mentioned any plug-ins yet, apart from the Waves DeEsser, because I hardly used them on 'The Pretender.' The only other ones I used were the Reel Tape Saturation and the Pultec EQP1A on the intro vocals, and the Sound Toys Echoboy on one of the end vocal overdubs.

"I used board EQ on all the vocals. The Pultec EQP1A plug-in on the intro vocals was to help them cut through. The Reel Tape Saturation was a plug-in that I had just bought. I wanted to warm the vocals up a little bit with it and make them a little bit crisper. Nothing too distorted. The Echoboy plug-in was used on a vocal overdub at the end for a tight delay. I don't tend to use plug-ins that much; they're really not that interesting, in my opinion. Finally, I also used an SPL De-esser on some vocals, and the Neve Designs Portico 5042 for a bit of crispness. It has its own sound, and I used it a lot on the whole Foo Fighters album.

"To complete the picture, I used an EMT plate and the room mics for general reverb, and my two EAR 660 limiters were my bus compressors, together with the Manley Massive Passive. We printed the mix to the ATR102, on half-inch analogue tape, from which it was mastered."

In “The Making Of There Is Nothing Left To Lose” video, the Mesa Boogie Rectifier Maverick can be seen at the 4:10 mark. At this point, Dave Grohl was the only guitarist in the Foo Fighters, so the amp has to be his.

The Drum Tech for Dave Grohl lists the Zildjian 15" K Hi Hats as part of his Them Crooked Vultures cymbal setup, according to this article on musicradar.com.

He used this guitar during big day out 2000 on songs like big me and aurora.

A Whirlwind Selector A/B Box gives Dave Grohl ultimate control over his guitars and gear, allowing him to alternate between two channels (A/B) or select both, without adding any noise, crackles or alteration to his tone. In Dave Grohl's pedalboard, his A/B box receives signal from an MXR M-101 Phase 90 pedal and outputs it to the Vox AC30 and Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier amps.
