Jay Gonzalez's Gear
"Much like his bandmates, multi-instrumentalist Jay Gonzalez favors old, odd gear. His go-to is a 1968 Gibson SG Special—it has the original P-90s and Vibrola tailpiece. His other vintage Gibson is a SG-100 with a single P-90 and Bigsby." - excerpt from Premier Guitar interview.
"His guitars also sport D’Addario EXL115 strings, and, like Patton, he uses a Dunlop 1.14 mm Tortex standard pick."

"Gonzalez plugs into an Ace of Clubs combo built by another Athens-based builder, Steve Hunter. The amp has two channels—one British-flavored, the other American—plus reverb." - excerpt from Premier Guitar interview.
"Jay Gonzalez’s board starts with a TC Electronic PolyTune tuner. From there, the signal runs into his MXR Micro Amp, a DOD FX52 Classic Fuzz—modded by Steve Hunter—and a Xotic EP Booster." - excerpt from Premier Guitar interview.

"Jay Gonzalez is his own man. He played his 1968 Gibson SG Special outfitted with a Baxendale Vibrola mod that basically applies the Paul Bigsby design of a rocking bridge to a Gibson ABR-1 Tune-o-matic. It makes the Gibson Vibrola usable and requires no modification to the body. Jay’s signal ran through a Lumpy’s Tone Shop 7 Series Lemon Drop Overdrive into a Strymon El Capistan dTape Echo pedal, then out to an ancient National Valco 1212 Chicago 51 tube combo amp. His guitars also sport D’Addario EXL115 strings, and, like Patton, he uses a Dunlop 1.14 mm Tortex standard pick."
