Guy Picciotto

Guy uses two Rickenbacker 330s, a black one and a sunburst one, according to Guitar Geek's rig diagram.

"Picciotto's main guitar when he fronted Rites of Spring, One Last Wish and in the first few years with Fugazi was a Mapleglo Rickenbacker 370. It eventually ended up in a state too fragile for live use, but he still used it in the studio right up to The Argument."

Guy Picciotto used the Park 100 Watt Master Volume Amplifier Head during the mid to later years of his time with Fugazi, as evidenced by the photo linked.

Guy uses MXR Distortion +, according to this Guitar Geek rig diagram.

He played it in the early Fugazi years. He also can be seen playing it in this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7l3urCjjiM live performance.

"Effects Pedals: Guy: An MXR Distortion plus, A Budda Budwah, An Echo park Echoplex."

According to Guitar Geek's rig rundown, Guy uses a Marshall JCM 800.

"Guy: A Park 100 Watt head, A Marshall JCM 800 2203 head, A red Marshall JCM 800 412 cabinet fitted with 75 watt celestion speakers."

Guy used this guitar with Rites of Spring, it would appear to be a single-cut so I know it isn’t the one he used in Fugazi, which was a double cut. A good shot of it would be 0:38.

"What guitar equipment do you use live? Sorry about this question but I’m a guitar player so I have to ask…"

"Live I play Rickenbacker guitars through Marshall 100 watt amps. I love Ricks because they are so percussive and sharp in tone. It can sound like a washboard, it can sound like a piercing treble laser or it can just sound Byrdsy and 60’s chiming. It also allows me to cut through Ian’s sound which is much thicker, fuller and heavy. He and Joe function like a wall of rhythm and I kind of slice in and out. In the studio I’ve started using a Fender Twin Reverb. Also every now and then I’ll try an effect box, like an MXR distortion or a wah-wah."
