Ed O'Brien

"Premier brand Toms. Used on, on live performances of There There, where Ed, Jonny, and Phil all play drums. The pair of toms is mic’d with a single wireless Shure SM57."

"Played by Ed for the studio recording of Dollars And Cents."

Ed O'Brien uses a Seymour Duncan JB Jr. pickup in the bridge position of his signature model:

The single-coil-sized Seymour Duncan® JB Jr. humbucking bridge pickup offers giant tone...

He uses VO-1 since 2016, seen in the bottom right corner of his pedalboard.

In this article that discusses the process of making O'Brien's debut solo album, "Earth", he shows the pedalboard that he uses for live performances.

One of them is Meris Polymoon which is on top of EHX Deluxe Memory Man 1100-TT. Ed says this about the pedal:

There’s another one I have, the Meris Polymoon, which is also great. I haven’t dug deep enough but it’s such a cool delay with some great features like flanging and pitch-shifting.

One of them is Catalinbread Epoch Pre which is on the right side of Boss FV-500 volume/expression pedal. Ed says this about the pedal, quotated from Pedal Crush book which in turn reposted by thekingofgear admin here:

The Epoch preamp is fantastic too; it sits right at the end of my chain, before the amp, and makes it all sound proper!
