Jimmy Herring

In a video interview with Paul Reed Smith, Jimmy Herring discusses his use of the PRS NF3 guitar.

"I finally got a little time off and broke out my '73 Super Lead and the KoT pedal. MAN, I grabbed a '63 strat and just cranked it, mostly using the clean boost side of the KoT. It IS ridiculous! I thought that was good till I grabbed the Jerry Jones Baritone Guitar… then I was just plain stunned… I love that pedal! It goes great with an old Marshall!"

In a photo featured in the Charleston City Paper article, Jimmy Herring is shown playing a Fender American Standard Stratocaster HH Electric Guitar.

In an interview with Premier Guitar, Jimmy Herring discusses using the Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor overdrive pedal. He prefers the green channel with the gain set at noon and places the pedal on top of his amp, operating it via a remote switch. The pedal is designed with a jack for this purpose, eliminating the need for special MIDI switchers.

One of his main axes when playing with Widespread Panic. If you go see them live, this is the guitar that is used the most, the NF3 is next on the "most used" list.

Jimmy's bassman head is actually an earlier circuit than the AB165 that I was able to select above. It's often referred to as a "tuxedo" bassman, because it's a "Blonde" era circuit in the "Blackface" livery.

Jimmy Herring uses the PRS 'DGT' Dave Grissom Signature guitar during Widespread Panic's annual performances at Panic en la Playa, as reported by Sam Berenson on L4LM. The DGT model, known for its separate volume controls for the bridge and neck pickups, allows Jimmy to achieve his distinctive sound by blending a touch of the neck pickup with the full bridge pickup. This choice may also be influenced by the need to rent guitars for performances in Mexico, due to restrictions on importing instruments with endangered rosewood.

In a photo accompanying the announcement of his summer tour dates, Jimmy Herring is pictured with a Fender Telecaster Custom Shop in sunburst.

Jimmy was using this in Baltimore at the Hippodrome.

Guitarist Jimmy Herring has been known to use the Germino Lead 55 Amplifier. In an interview with Premier Guitar, he discusses his gear, which includes this amplifier. Notably, it was spotted side stage during performances in Alabama and Baltimore, where he had several amp heads, including a Tuxedo Bassman.

Jimmy runs this pedal between the speaker out from his amp, and the input of the Crown power amps. It is set 100% wet, and a volume pedal manipulates the volume of the reverb.

Jimmy uses an Ernie Ball VP JR. volume pedal to control both, his volume while playing, as well as another one to control the amount of reverb that is mixed into his signal while he is playing.

At 15:03 the camera zooms in and you can clearly see that Jimmy uses an Ernie Ball VP JR. volume pedal (not a standard Ernie Ball VP volume pedal, as this title of this entry indicates).

At 10:40 Jimmy demonstrates how he uses the volume pedal while playing to control his volume.

At 11:04 he explains how the only effect he uses is reverb using an Eventide Space reverb unit (although he is known to use a couple of other distortion effects pedals to get his sound, like the H&K unit and King of Tone pedal) , and he controls the amount of reverb that is mixed into his sound while playing through the use of another Ernie Ball VP JR. volume pedal.

At 12:00 he demonstrates the use of the VP JR. pedal to mix the amount of reverb he wants while he plays.
