Ira Kaplan's Gear
This picture of Ira Kaplan's pedalboard from the concert in Cologne on 4/23/2023 shows that he used a Mu-Tron Micro-Tron III during the 2023 European tour.
In the KDHX video "Yo La Tengo live at Mississippi Nights 3/2/88," Ira Kaplan is seen playing a Fender Performer after the strings on his Stratocaster break.
Yo La Tengo have been using the Ace Tone Top 5 for live performances and recordings since their 1993 album 'Painful'. A key sound in their arsenal, it features prominently on the track 'Sudden Organ'.
The youtube video shows Ira playing the Farfisa Compact Deluxe in a live TV performance of 'Autumn Sweater' in 1997. The same instrument was used in the studio recording of the track and has been used extensively live and on record since, for example on tracks like 'Let's Save Tony Orlando's House'.
A user-uploaded photo shows Ira Kaplan using the Knas Ekdahl Moisturizer, positioned over his Ace Tone amplifier.
Can be seen using one at 0:43. Possibly used during the recording of Painful and previous records.
Seen using this at 0:43 of this video.
Ira can be seen going full freakout mode on this SG throughout this video.
