Dave Wyndorf

No one can accuse Monster Magnet cofounder and Space Lord No. 1, Dave Wyndorf, of being a gear snob as he uses this Epiphone SG Special as his favored live guitar.

Dave Wyndorf is the “noise” guy in the band and prefers a clean, pedal platform to engage his psychedelic haze so he rocks this Fender Twin Reverb.

Mentioned by Monster Magnet bandmate John McBain in this 2001 Freak Shop USA interview.

When you finally recorded Tab for Glitterhouse, what kind of gear were you and Dave using?

My gear was the same gear that I used throughout Magnet, a Squier Strat, Big Muff, Vox wah wah and a Fender Bassman amp. Dave was using a solid state Ampeg combo, his nameless red guitar, an Ibanez Sonic Distortion pedal (the secret weapon of early MM. We used it on everything including vocals) and his beloved Echoplex. Tim beat the living hell out of floor toms and industrial sized cookware which he referred to as "gig pots".

What was used for that "flying saucer/laser" sound I hear on Tab? Is that the Echoplex?

Echoplex is correct. We also used a digital delay pedal and an old flanger. Those pedals are all over the Tab e.p.

And for Dave Wyndorf’s reserve guitar, he grabs this early 2000s Gibson SG-X that the band has nicknamed “Brown Bomber.”

As you can tell, Dave Wyndorf leaves all the filth and fuzz to the other bandmembers as gets weird and wild with three delays (MXR Carbon Copy, TC Electronic Flashback, and a SIB Electronics Mr. Echo).
