Josh Home played on 70’s Gibson EB-3 bass during Iggy Pop "Post Pop Depression" Tour. Josh can be seen using it on this clip at 2:00 mark: https://youtu.be/ufT_NO-9CQU?t=121

Visible throughout episode 3 of "Guitar Moves" starting at 0:10.

Used for vocals on Villains, as stated by co-producer and engineer Mark Rankin in this October 26, 2017 AudioTechnology interview.

When it came time to record Homme’s final vocals, Rankin said there were three different schools of thought: “One was the upfront, clean condenser — a Sanken CU51; a ribbon for a bit of character — an RCA 44; and sometimes an old dynamic like an Electro-Voice. The Sanken has two capsules. United had one and it was insanely good; I wanted to use it for everything. The RCA44 ribbon also sounded fantastic. United have copies that have been there since they bought them new, and they’re really well looked after. Sometimes we’d use an Electro-Voice dynamic, purposely trying to get a harder, harsh sound.”

He would put either an Eventide 910 or 949 Harmonizer in the chain. “It’s a favourite,” said Rankin. “A little bit of delay and a little bit of pitch gives that really good fake room sound.” That balance between dryness and space was pretty critical. “A lot of times we’re letting the low end of the drums or the bass be the big thing and keeping guitars small. We’d have a the 949 on the vocal a lot, and then the guitars will be out wide. If we got to the point where it felt like we needed some space, we would just send something out into the room at United and record the room. It’s like the Ocean Way plug-in on UAD. Because the rooms sounds so good, you’ll fire something out on the PA, record it back on the ambient mics and all of a sudden it works.”

In an Instagram post from June 23, 2017, by user jojoschmoe (https://www.instagram.com/p/BVr9Iuzlv5J/), Josh Homme is seen using two Peavey Series 260 Standard Heads during a live performance at The Rapids Theater in Niagara Falls, USA. The image also shows Homme with the Peavey Series 260 in a studio setting.

Josh can be seen playing an Ovation Viper in this photo taken during QOTSA’s first show at the O.K Hotel on November 20, 1997.

Josh has notably used another Ovation solid body - the Ultra GP during Kyuss and early Queens.

Seems to be some unknown model of Guild Songbird used throughout their performance at MONA in Hobart, Australia, as well as solo performances of Villains of Circumstance

Used for early performances of "The Fun Machine Took A Shit and Died". Best angle is at 0:20

In this instagram post directly from motorave guitars, it shows that Josh’s Camille guitar is getting work done to it before the villains world tour. A user in the comments asks what pickups are in it and user comments saying josh has wolftone humbuckers in his motorave guitar

Josh used 2 Epiphone Valve Junior 1x12 cabinets with his WEM ER40 amps, live with QOTSA at Southside festival 2023.

Homme can be seen playing a Teisco Del Rey bass in this photo.

In this late 80s/early90s live promo photo of Sons of Kyuss (later changed to symply Kyuss), Josh is seen with an Ibanez Destroyer II. It is said that it is the DT-250 model, but I'm not shure if it could be its bigger brother, the DT-350. But no doubt it is an Ibanez Destoyer II.

Josh Homme is currently using Dunlop Herco Flex 75 Nylon 1.01mm Guitar Picks, as evidenced by a close-up view of his microphone stand in the performance video of Queens Of The Stone Age's "My God Is The Sun" at the Open'er Festival 2023, recorded and published by Alter Art. This particular video offers visual confirmation of the guitar picks Homme selects for his performances.

In this early Kyuss performance, Josh is seen using a Peavey head which its graphic design and control layout looks the most similar to the Peavey Triumph

In this photo Josh is playing the Jack white tripplecaster guitar

Josh Homme is confirmed to use the JAM Pedals Eureka! Fuzz, as indicated by a post from JAM Pedals on Instagram, which states, "We just learned that Josh Homme is currently using our Eureka! Fuzz." This confirmation was shared in relation to Josh’s ‘Catacombs Tour’ pedalboard, which includes the Eureka! Fuzz as part of his setup.

Josh Homme is confirmed to use the Dunlop Straplok Dual Design Strap Retainer System on all of his guitars, as evidenced by his endorsement as a Dunlop artist and visible use of Dunlop gear in available images.

Immediately recognized Josh using the DBA Echo Master during the first song of this KEXP performance

He can be seen using it in some photos in Sons Of Kyuss circa 1990 along the B.C. Rich Mocking Bird.
