John Britt Daniel

Shure SM58 is used in Spoon's KEXP performance in 2014

Britt used this guitar quite heavily from 2007 through 2010. It's his main electric in practically all of Spoon's live videos during that time. YouTube contains several videos of in-store performances, concerts, and in-studio/on-air performances that give good views of this guitar.

It appears to be common knowledge in recollections of live performances that Britt plays this Ventura Barney Kessel. The Ventura can be seen in this video, with a quick view of the front of the guitar at 01:37.

At 1:07 in this KEXP performance by Divine Fits, Daniel can be seen playing a Fender Telecaster Thinline.

Here's Britt Daniel playing a Martin D-35 backstage in London in 2007. From the very start of the video you can spot him with the guitar.

In this picture, Britt's amp rig is seen with his "mystery head" sitting atop his AC30, which he has used as his primary amp when playing with Spoon.

At 2:56 and 4:31 of this video, you can see the Ampeg SVT (MTI-Era) Bass Amplifier Head (distinguishable due to the white toggle switches along the top, and the black faceplate)

At 4:53 of this video, you can see the Ampeg SVT-610HLF Bass Cabinet

In 1961 a British engineer would start a company from a spare room in his England home that would permanently change the history of the Pro Audio industry. This company set a trajectory for musical tones that spanned across genres and impacted every generation that followed. We are talking about the famous piece of gear known as the Neve* recording console. From "Love Me Do" by The Beatles to the famous sounds of Led Zeppelin, U2, Spoon, Pink Floyd, Motown, Quincy Jones, Nirvana, Steely Dan, Neil Young, Tears For Fears, and Tom Petty (the list is endless), The Colour Box is our tribute to the legend and application of how a piece of gear can change music.

Britt is credited by JHS as using a Colour Box, but he is rarely seen using it in a live setting.
