Filter by
Greenberg owns this pedal, and he describes the sound as a "warm, musical distortion".
At around 45:20 minute mark, Greenberg describes this pedal as "nothing sounds like it". He also mentioned this pedal somewhere before in this video.
Greenberg uses this as his main fuzz pedal, according to the Greenberg "it can get fuzzy and have heavy distortion". It works in a context of a band and it records very well. He finds that as being as one of the "all-purpose" fuzz tone pedal.
Boss TU-12 is Greenberg's pedalboard tuner. He uses the black version, as seen in rig diagram.
The Boing pedal is used preferably with his Tweed Deluxe amplifier, because he gets that spring reverb sound he doesn't get with Tweed Deluxe because he doesn't have that included on his amplifier. For cover of Allman Brothers' "Whipping Post", Greenberg used this exact pedal and a Tweed Deluxe.
Greenberg bought the Klon Centaur back when they weren't 1800 dollars each. He used Rockett Archer pedal before, but he replaced it with this pedal.
In a "Rig Rundown" video by Premier Guitar, Kenny Greenberg discusses his use of the Paul Cochrane Timmy overdrive pedal. He frequently pairs it with a Klon Centaur or his RC Booster, highlighting its effectiveness in his setup.
In the rig rundown, Greenberg describes this pedal as a "great distortion box".
The Winford pedal is also mentioned in Greenberg's rig rundown by Premier Guitar.
"Next up is a Keeler Pull, which is kind of like a Tube Screamer. That goes into the Dunlop Fat Sandwich, which is almost like a fuzztone, and that goes to an Xotic RC Booster – I use that one almost all the time."
"The M5 is like a Swiss Army Knife – it's everything, all the different Line 6 boxes in one. Very cool."
"Then I go into a Dunlop Volume Pedal, and out of that we go into a Boss Tremolo, and that goes to an old Ibanez Chorus."
Boss DD-500 is the pedal that Greenberg uses. But, as he describes himself, he prefers the older version of this pedal (DD-20). He also mentions that those are "very, very good delay pedals".
The Animal pedal, according to the Greenberg, is also being used by Keith Urban himself. He shortly mentions that this pedal "sounds great".
"It's really transparent. It's really more of a boost. There's a little bit distortion to it that retains the character and the tone of the guitar, especially if you're playing the Strat. [...] You turn this on, and it just gets kind of a warm-sounding." - Greenberg about Bluenote pedal.
Find it on:
"It's just an old school, old CS-2. Compression is all the way off, and I use the buffer in it, because the buffer is also a lot important. Because if you have pedals with buffers, it gets your signal back to the place where you've had your cord straight in." - Greenberg about Boss CS-2.
Greenberg describes this pedal as "having the most transparent boost".
Strymon TimeLine is also one of the effects Greenberg uses, he praises the delay functions in this rig rundown.

In a Premier Guitar Rig Rundown video, Kenny Greenberg mentions that while he finds the Boss GE-7 Graphic Equalizer somewhat "artificial sounding," he still includes it in his setup when necessary.

Greenberg praised the pedal's tap tempo function and precision. This pedal is on his board and is clearly visible.
The volume pedal Greenberg uses was seen in his pedalboard during PG's rig rundown, but he didn't say anything about the usage.
"It's a reverb, not a spring reverb, although it does that too. It's more of like effecty reverb, to make an effect sound." - Greenberg about Strymon BigSky.
"And then I have the Strymon El Capistan, which is like the old Echoplex. And I use that a lot. I used to carry around Echoplex and the tapes would go bad, sound like shit. One day sound great, the next day... El Capistan is really close to it." - Greenberg about Strymon El Capistan.
"And I've got the POG for doing the high octave or a low octave." - Greenberg about POG2 octave pedal.
