David Hidalgo

In this interview David Hidalgo recalls: "I’ve been using a Fender Custom Shop ’51 Nocaster Relic lately."

David Hidalgo recalls in this interview: "Pigtronix Aria Disnortion, a Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone compressor, and an Ibanez Turbo Tube Screamer. I like the Turbo Tube Screamer because it has four gain settings. The Turbo setting adds a lot of low end and makes whatever you’re playing through sound like a 4x10 cabinet. I usually end up leaving one or the other distortion pedals on, and adjusting the volume on the guitar."

He's comping for Tom Waits at the Letterman show. From the minute https://youtu.be/rcA2_g04pMU?t=109 you can clearly see him. Frankly, I'm not sure if he just had to replicate Marc Ribot or what.

He and Louie were both running a new DOD Preamp 250.

David Hidalgo recalls in this interview: "These days I take my goldtop Les Paul and the Nocaster on the road. I feel that Gibson and Fender got solidbody electric guitars right the first time around, and guitars haven’t gotten any better."

David Hidalgo recalls in this interview article: "We fly to a lot of gigs, so I play through backline gear. I usually use a Fender Deville or a Deluxe Reverb depending on room size."

In the source interview David Hidalgo recalled: "erry Garcia became one of my favorites. I first met him in 1984, when he showed up at one of our gigs along with Carlos Santana. They took turns playing my spare ES-335. Afterwards, Jerry gave me a ’58 Stratocaster. I couldn’t believe it."

In this interview Hidalgo recalls: "While we were in Denver, it struck me that a more traditional, Phil Upchurch-type of solo might work, so I played a ’59 Les Paul through a Fender amp."
