Johnny Marr

This shot of Johnny’s pedalbard is fairly recent – pulled from Johnny Marr’s Facebook page.

According to Boss' website Marr is also a user of the Roland GR-55 guitar synthesizer pedal.

July 5th, 1986: Johnny's rack for Euro Tube contained a Yamaha GC2020B on top with a Yamaha SPX90 below it.

"The song was recorded at Bunk, Junk and Genius, and has got Johnny Marr [ex-Smiths guitarist, now with Electronic, and regular collaborator with the Pet Shop Boys] playing on it. He used the Roland VG8, the physical modelling guitar, which was really good, because often it’s hard to blend real guitar in with synths. It’s got a slightly unnatural sound, but it still sounds really good; there’s no delay, because it’s not a MIDI guitar. It’s very good at following all his bends and runs. "

This interview with Marr for Premier Guitar magazine, regarding the recording of his 2018 album Call the Comet, includes a list of gear currently he used during the sessions. The King of the Britains pedal is among the effects on the list.

This article on the making of Marr's 2018 Call the Comet album by MixOnline.com touches on some of the gear used during the recording process. "An example of this is 'Walk Into the Sea,' where the Oberheim DMX drum machine, rather than a Roland 808 or 909, is used and then put through pedals with echo—what Marr thinks of as an 'Industrial North' approach."

This article on the making of Marr's 2018 Call the Comet album by MixOnline.com touches on some of the gear used during the recording process. "The use of pedals on all the instruments is prevalent on Call the Comet. Marr favors Carl Martin pedals for their musicality: Delayla for delay, Plexitone for distortion, AC-Tone for overdrive. He also likes Lovetone’s Doppelganger, Ring Stinger, Brown Source and Big Cheese for more extreme modulation and flange effects."

"'There is hardly any processing on the guitars, maybe a little cut if too bright or boost if too dull, and a highpass filter,' says Doviak. 'Sometimes the guitar sound is thickened with an Eventide H3000 or Lexicon PCM81 guitar doubler effect, which I run as an insert or auxiliary channel in Pro Tools. But nearly all the guitar sounds and effects on Call the Comet come straight from the pedals and amps. The instant feedback and imperfections can be more difficult and slower to reproduce in the plug-in world.'" (While the engineer is providing this feedback, the gear is housed in Marr's own Crazy Face studios, which contains gear he's collected over his decades in the music industry.)

"The Shure SM58 is the preferred microphone for his vocals for its grittiness, run through the 1081 into a Tube-Tech CL 1B with low compression ratios to even everything out."

"The bass, played by Iwan Gronow, goes through a Fender Bassman 100 or 300 through an 8x10 speaker. When not going DI, either an Electro-Voice RE20 or Neumann TLM 103 or beyerdynamic m380 microphone is used."

"The Beyer is mainly placed outside drummer Jack Mitchell’s kick drum. An SM57 is placed at the top of the snare, with Coles 4038 and Neumann KM 184 as overheads, equidistant from the snare. These might have some compression through a UREI 1178, all going through the Neve 1081 preamp, with a few of the microphones going into a UA 2-610."

On the Carl Martin website's Artists page, Johnny is listed as a user of the single-channel Plexitone pedal.

This article on the making of Marr's 2018 Call the Comet album by MixOnline.com touches on some of the gear used during the recording process. "'We used some Lexicon PCM91 outboard reverb and some EchoBoy, not necessarily timed to the track so it could bounce around a bit and fill space,' says [engineer] Doviak. 'I usually go for something slightly degraded, like a cheap Tape Echo--something with character that sits in the background, not distracting, but has some integrity. MicroShift Soundtoys is great for vocal doubling and widening effects. I’d often use Decapitator or Radiator for some dirt.'"
