Jim Heath

"My Gretsch 6120W actually got a problem in the middle of the session and I had to switch to the Gretsch White Falcon for a couple things. I used my ’54 Gibson ES-175 a little, too."

At the 1:08 mark Jim can be seen tweaking the feedbacker during psychobilly freakout.

"Then there’s a Boss Blues Driver that’s always on, and then it goes into a blackface Fender Twin. When I record, I can just pan those a little bit side to side and it’s a great big sound.

I get a distorted signal through the Twin because of the Boss Blues Driver, which I can turn up a bit to get just a little extra dirt. In certain rooms that are really small but dry, I can’t turn the Super up to 10, but I can turn up the Blues Driver and still get the dirt".

"Well, my first real guitars were Telecasters and Jazzmasters, though I mostly relied on a ’54 Gibson ES-175 in the early Reverend Horton Heat days."

"So for the new album I used my same old ’78 Fender Super Reverb that I have been touring with forever. I swear that amp is more vital to my sound than my guitar. I own a lot of other Supers, but that ’78 is mind-bogglingly good."

"I have several pretty cool guitars and amps, but I’m not a big collector. I have a ’57 Gretsch Streamliner that looks brand new, which I got from Billy Gibbons. I’ve also got an early-’60s Gretsch Sparkle Jet that’s in excellent condition, and a New American Standard Tele I like a lot."

"From the other side of the Chandler a line goes to stomp boxes. There’s a Boss analog delay that I rarely use except to make crazy sounds, for when I break a string or when I’m just feeling like an idiot and want to screw around".

Jim Heath 'the rev' started using these amps in 2009 after he was sent one and realised it was even better than his fender twin. He didn't think nothing could beat the sound of his twin.

"I started using these Chandler rack units for an authentic 50's style slap back"

"From the guitar I go to an Ernie Ball volume pedal. That’s fun because I can get steel guitar-like swells and a little simulation of an amp vibrato with it"

In the Premier Guitar Rig Rundown, Jim Heath discusses his use of the original Fender Deluxe Reverb (1963-1981) as part of his setup.

"Then there’s a Boss Blues Driver that’s always on, and then it goes into a blackface Fender Twin. When I record, I can just pan those a little bit side to side and it’s a great big sound."

Jim Heath, also known as Reverend Horton Heat, uses the Gretsch G6120RHH Reverend Horton Heat semi-hollowbody electric guitar. This is detailed in the guitar gear rig article on Uberproaudio, showcasing the instruments integral to his music.

Besides, I don’t use a ton of slapback like the old-school rockabilly guys. For guitars I pretty much only used my Reverend Horton Heat signature model Gretsch 6120 strung with Dunlop .010s, and a heavy Dunlop 1.14mm pick.

"I also have the switch for my echo there. Next it goes to a Boss tuner, then to one input of a Chandler digital delay"

Jim Heath praises the Dunlop DVP1 Volume Pedal for its durability, smooth operation, and impressive sound and appearance, as highlighted on the Jimdunlop website.
