John Dwyer

"I ask John to instruct me on how to make a Coachwhips-patented microphone. He tells me that it involves 'two screws; you just put the two wires on the two screws.' 'And then hook it to a normal microphone?” I ask. 'No,' he says, 'you just cut one end of a guitar cable, fray out the wires and put it on there. I’ve gotten better at making them over the years. Now when I make them they last more than one show.' At this point, you might be wondering where this endless supply of telephones comes from. 'Hotel rooms,' John says, 'that’s why every time a place puts us up in a hotel, we’re usually not invited back.'" - https://www.slugmag.com/music-features/whip-it-good-prepare-to-be-dominated-by-the-coachwhips/

At 3:03 puts the mic down his throat as usual.

John Dwyer can be seen using a modified red Kay Vanguard live. The guitar has a Seymour Duncan Invader pickup in the bridge and the stock Kay gold foil in the neck. Both the volume and tone controls have been removed, and the neck pickup is dead. The Invader simply runs directly to the output.

Dwyer regularly uses this guitar on stage.

John Dwyer can be seen using a green Burns Double 6 on multiple occasions (example: https://youtu.be/0dcUzAcVvlg).

John Dwyer using a Fender Mustang at End of the Road festival in 2016

He uses a blackface and a silverface Music Man tilted horizontally and stacked on top of each other

at 1:48 in this video, John can be seen adjusting his space echo sitting on top of two blackface twin reverb amps.

"Judging by the number of knobs on all liev pics we've seem, we are pretty certain John Dwyer uses a Fender Silverface-era Dual Showman Reverb head"

Judging by the size and where the fender logo is placed the 2 cabs he uses look like batsman 2 by 15. He can be seen using 1 or 2 ( depending on the size of the gig i guess) from 2015 to now (2017)

Seen next to the Teenage engineering OP-1 is the Holy Grail reverb

seen next to the Holy Grail is a TC Electronics ditto looper (probably for makin' cool synth loops)

Dwyer's really stepping up his pedal game with an obscure mini drive for his synths

A sensible man like Dwyer needs a swooshy modulation for his syths,it's the right thing to do.
