"The Swiss Army Knife" - as Greenberg calls it, was praised in the rig rundown for doing basically everything.

Greenberg has this effect in a drawer, according to Premier Guitar's rig rundown.

"This is a Koll. It's called the Super Glide Almighty. I don't know why he calls it that. And it's bit of a Neil Young' "Old Black", and he's like my favourite guitar player. It's a 3 Lollar Imperials, and it's a hollowbody guitar, but it's a pretty hefty. It's really great. It's sort of Gretschy, but kind of like Neil Young's guitar, with the way it works is the normal 3-way switch. In the middle, you have these 2 [pickups], and here you have this [middle pickup]. But this [the knob], activates this pickup. So, in another words this knob activates bridge pickup. And rolling the knob just a little bit warms the pickup on and it's kind of out-of-the-phase sounding, so this is a great guitar for tremolo and echo playing parts. I've used this extensively, and I've only had this one for about a year. It's got a big, fat, neck. [...] I just love this guitar, I've been playing it a lot.

"So this is a PRS I've been playing a lot. For a long time, this was my main guitar, so I played it a good bit. And David Grissom, we went to high school together. He's one of my favourite guitar players. Back in the late 90's, we were playing on a record with a guy called Chris Knight. David had a goldtop, just like this, before the DGT. It's a McCarty with a trem on it. David was playing this guitar and I borrowed it and played it on a song and it sounded so good. He said : "I'll get them to make on for you." I've had this one since 1998, and I've used it a lot. To me, it sounds a really different from what PRS is making now. It's kind of midrangy, and it's got this hawk to it. It's badass and it's great for playing solos. It's just a great sounding instrument. Paul Reed Smith came to the studio one time and he said : "It's all wrong. Let me take this to the shop and I'll make this sound so good." And I said : "No, I don't want you to change anything about it. It sounds amazing!" And so, it doesn't sound to me like any other PRS I've played. And I've tried a bunch of them. And they are really nice instruments. We all have them. They're incredible guitars, but this one for me, the way that I play, has this special things that makes it sound great. It's not as bright as a Les Paul, it's kind of got this upper mid-range, but it cuts through, and it makes you play aggresively, with a lot of distortion and play up high on the neck, and on the high strings. It's not too bright. It's got this kind of ringing mid-range to it. So, I've used this a lot." - Greenberg about PRS McCarty.

Greenberg uses Ovation Deacon XII which strongly resembles a Breadwinner model. Pickups aren't original, but he personally enjoys playing with humbuckers on this guitar.

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 didn't say much about this pedal. He only said he has one, and is visible on his board.

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.

"I have a Matchless DC-30 head, a Carr Slant 6V that I use some of the time, and I have a Category 5 Katrina. Those are my three amps that I have with me on this tour right now. They go into a Category 5 2 x 12 cabinet."

"From there, I use a Strymon El Capistan delay, and that goes to a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor, which I just use for when I play solos."

"That goes to the Bones, which is made by Radial; it allows me to switch between amps. It also has a buffer – very important for my signal. The last thing is a small Keeley A/B box, which goes into the Baggs Venue preamp."
