Jake Kiszka

Jake Kiszka is seen playing a 2015 Cozart Double-Neck Guitar in a post shared on his Instagram account.

Jake uses an fractal FM3. you can see it at 11:36 in the video linked. I think he uses it to get his stereo wah sound.

It's pointed out on his pedal board at 34:12

At 30:15 they are talking about it.

Used on "When the Curtain Falls", as stated by mix engineer Al Sutton in this January 2019 Sound on Sound interview.

"I also had the Opticom in the bass for parallel compression. In this case I'll run that really dirty and blend it back in. I did this with one of the guitar tracks as well, the 'Guitar SC' track, but in this case I used the plug-in version of the Opticom. I'll really drive the plug-in and mix the result in underneath for some harmonic enhancement. I added some reverb on some of the guitars with the Avid ReVibe and added some additional effect with the SoundToys Crystallizer, but that was it. I didn't use outboard on the guitars, it was just straight into the board and then to the mix bus."

In the video you can clearly see the 1962x sitting atop a 4x12. The link was originally posted under the 1974x model however when the camera is straight on you can see it is the 1962.

He uses two of these as seen in Greta Van Fleet`s 2021 rig rundown this can be seen at 12.32.

Jake Kiszka uses a 1959 Martin D-28 as his primary guitar for studio work on "Anthem of the Peaceful Army," as noted in Premier Guitar by Tessa Jeffers.

He uses MXR M-238 Iso-Bricks to power all of his pedals.

In the Premier Guitar article by Tessa Jeffers, Jake Kiszka is mentioned as using a Gibson Hummingbird among his collection of guitars.

Jake uses a custom version of this model, covered in white tolex. The "Dual" model is the one he uses based on the number of knobs and switches in the front panel.

Jake uses this reverb pedal on the Epic setting to achieve his stereo reverb tone.

Jake uses this for his acoustic guitar-setup.

In the HardDrive Radio video titled "Greta Van Fleet - Black Smoke Rising (Live Acoustic)," Jake Kiszka plays a Gibson J-200 Studio Acoustic Guitar.

Used on Anthem of the Peaceful Army, as stated by mix engineer Al Sutton in this January 2019 Sound on Sound interview.

"With regards to electric guitars, we usually had several amps set up, like an AC30 and a Marshall, or Marshall clone, and I tended to have a U67 on one and a U87 on the other cabinet, placed straight on the centre of the speaker. Sometimes I'd use a Sony C37 or a Shure SM57. All the guitar mics also went through the API desk, but I sent the bass through the Acme Audio MTP-66 pre and DI."

In this shortened clip from the GVF Rig Rundown, Jake talks to John about his original '61 LP/SG

In the Candlelight Sessions performance of "Light My Love" , Jake can be seen with this guitar.

Jake uses a RJM Music Technology Mastermind GT/22 to control the effect pedals in his rack. It can be seen in their Rig Rundown at 9:32.

Jake can sometimes be seen playing a 1964 SG with a Maestro Vibrola in place of his usual 61 SG

Saw Greta Van Fleet live on their Starcatcher Tour and took this photo where you can see the bassman in the back along with another amp I couldn't identify.

Jake can be seen playing this EBONY 1962 Les Paul Standard in the live candlelight sessions from the 'Battle At Garden's Gate' album cycle era, as well as other photos taken from around that time. In the included photo, the 'Les Paul' inscription on the truss rod cover can be seen. Though, in the candlelight sessions, the truss rod cover appears blank. The small block inlay is puzzling as well, for the small block inlay did not really appear on standards until the 70's. There exists a Chicago Music Exchange exlusive Gibson SG standard with the small block inlay and a turtoise shell pickguard, similar to Jake's. However, the CME exlusive has no sideways vibrola or 'Les Paul' truss rod cover. There is another guitar entry here on Equipboard for Jake that lists this guitar as an SG. My entry lists it as a Les Paul, which I believe is more-accurate, hence the Les Paul truss rod cover. Until Jake does another rig rundown, I suppose this ebony Les Paul/SG with small block inlay will remain an enigma.

Lastly, a very cool article by Vintage Guitar magazine which depicts '62 Les Pauls in custom colors including Ebony and Polaris White:

In a photograph uploaded by user LEO_TROVATO, guitarist Jake Kiszka is observed utilizing a Sears Silvertone 1484 "Twin Twelve" 60W amplifier head, connected to a 4x12 cabinet positioned to the left of a 1967 Fender Bassman head. This particular Sears Silvertone amplifier, identifiable by its 6L6 tube configuration, was sold from 1963 to 1967 and features a distinctive "piggyback" design allowing the amp head to dock within its accompanying 2x12 speaker cabinet, not pictured. This image serves as concrete evidence of Kiszka's use of the Sears Silvertone 1484 Twin-Twelve amplifier in his live, Starcatcher-era musical setup.

In Premier Guitar's "Rig Rundown: Greta Van Fleet [2021]" video, Jake Kiszka is shown using the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail reverb pedal.

Jake Kiszka was confirmed to use the Gibson '59 GA-5 amplifier when he shared a post on his Instagram account, stating, "As the storm recedes, the Gibson GA-5 emerges, its voice a lingering rumble."

He uses this pedal among many more with Mirador .
