ORIGINAL ENTRY: Dave can be seen playing this Gretsch G6118T-SGR at the 1997 rockpalast bizarre festival during the songs Doll, See You, and For All the Cows (he first grabs it at 18:17).

CORRECTED ENTRY: It was correctly pointed out that the model I originally submitted couldn't be correct given the two pickups and the Bigsby tremolo tailpiece. After some further research, it looks as though the model he's actually using is a Gretsch 6125 Anniversary in Two-Tone Smoke Green. Not sure on the year, though it looks like it's one of the 1960s ones given the larger tuning machines (the 1958 one, for example, had small, vintage tuning machines).

He used the gibson songwriter as a drop d tuned acoustic during the Skin and Bones acoustic concert, used on razor and everlong.

The DW "Kitbuilder" for Dave Grohl lists the DW 9500 hi-hat stand as part of his set up.

Friday, (January 22, 2016) at Lucky Strike Live in Hollywood, California. Members of METALLICA, FOO FIGHTERS, PANTERA, SLAYER and STONE SOUR are among the musicians who took part in the Monster Energy Ride For Dime Dimebash, a benefit honoring late PANTERA guitarist Darrell Abbott.

Dave played on these songs:
"Ace Of Spades" (MOTÖRHEAD cover) "Walk" (PANTERA cover) "Wish You Were Here" (PINK FLOYD cover) "A New Level" (PANTERA cover)

at 1:11, the amp is clearly seen behind Dave

In this video Dave Grohl introduces his DW Sound City Icon signature snare drum.

Clearly, Dave is playing the "Hot Rods" at the Unplugged in New York, 1993.

In the YouTube video "Dave Grohl - Band On The Run - In Performance At The White House," Dave Grohl is seen using a Mesa/Boogie Road King II 2x12 Combo amplifier, which is the combo version similar to the amp he uses with the Foo Fighters.

Dave used a Gibson ES-335 live at the 2001 edition of Rock in Rio. You can see it at the time of 31:55.

Shown in the images that accompany the article on his tour with "Them Crooked Vultures".

On 0:13 of the video of the acoustic version of "Times Like These" you can Mr. Grohl watch playing the Guild F-152 12-String for doubling up the intro riff. On 0:33 this guitar can be spotted clearly.

he uses the guitar in this live performance with a sunburst finish

Used on Grohl's 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."

THIS IS A CORRECTION ON MY PREVIOUS SUBMISSION:

Dave can be seen using what appears to be a Gretsch 6125 Anniversary model in Two-Tone Smoke Green during the 1997 Rockpalast Bizarre Festival. I'm not sure what year the model is, though it appears to be one of the 60s models given the larger tuning machines. He first grabs this guitar at 18:17, and plays it on Doll, See You, and For All the Cows.

Dave used this cymbals during his time with Nirvana

This picture of Dave Grohl's snare drum from a musicradar.com article shows him using a 14" Remo Emperor X Black Dot.

Dave Grohl used the Aquarian Hi-Energy head because this was the only brand that wouldn't break when he played it.

In this photo, which originates from Foo Fighters' concert at Dingwalls, which was done on February 26, 2011 we can see a brief shot of Grohl's pedalboard - which included Ernie Ball VP Jr Volume pedal.

On his unplugged tour with Nirvana. They covered "Jesus Don't Want Me For A SunBeam". Krist however played the accordion riff and he gave this bass for Dave to use for the song. See in 0:51 in the video that you see him with the bass.
