Gareth Liddiard

This is Gareth's main guitar. In an interview Gareth says "It has a Seymour Duncan single coil size humbucker in the neck and a Seymour Duncan Les Paul type PAF in the bridge. It’s basically an SG or Les Paul that looks like a Jag"

when asked "Tell us about your pedal rig – it looks like you’re using some kind of big multi-effect – am I right?" he says: "Yeah a POD hd500x. It’s got lots of goodies in it. Sounds good. I’ve got a lot of the real pedals that it’s emulating and I’ve A-B’d them and I can’t tell the difference. Like the Big Muff is exactly the same as the real thing except it has better eq in the POD."

In the interview Gareth is asked about the electronic elements on the record "A Laughing Death in Meatspace" by Tropical Fuck Storm and what gear inspired those sounds.

Gareth: >Yeah, Teenage Engineering OP-1 keys and drum machines. Anything made by Eventide. Granular Effects stompboxes. Lots of weird obscure iPhone drum machine apps. Contact mics. Tea towels gaffed onto all the drums. Magic mushrooms.
