Buxton owned an Echoplex and reportedly used it to write songs, particularly in the late sixties. Alice Cooper said that Glen Buxton even used his Echoplex to jam along with legendary Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barret: “he would sit in the room and play his Echoplex with his guitar, and Syd Barrett was on the other bed with his Echoplex. Glen would play one thing and Syd would play something back.”
According to Shure's artist page, Glen Buxton, playing for Alice Cooper uses Shure's SM57 Instrument microphone.
Glen Buxton used the Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone to achieve the distinctive "computer modem" sound on tracks like "Lay Down and Die, Goodbye," "Shoe Salesman," "Refrigerator Heaven," and "Below Your Means" from the "Easy Action" album. This pedal also contributed to the "crushed" sound on "Return of the Spiders" and "Still No Air." The Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone can be heard in live performances of "Eighteen" from 1971, as showcased in the ReelinInTheYears66 YouTube video. Its unique tone resembles the saxophone sound from the 1962 demo 45 for the Maestro Fuzz Tone.
Glen Buxton used the Hiwatt Custom 100 Amplifier Head after being inspired by Syd Barrett's similar setup with Pink Floyd, as detailed in the Guitar Lobby's Glen Buxton Guitars & Gear List.
