Tame Impala: Kevin Parker uses a Fuzz Factory

Kevin Parker uses the Mackie Onyx 1640i Firewire Mixer, as seen in a user-uploaded photo on Tonedeaf.

Tame Impala used Sennheiser e609 at Lollapalooza Argentina 2016 and at Vorterix Sideshow 2016. In the video the mic can be seen at 0:15 in front of a Vox amp. In the following note: http://www.audiotechnology.com.au/wp/index.php/plugged-in-next-level-live-guitars/ Adam Round (Tame Impala sound engineer) says: “I’ve been mixing Kevin since early 2014 [...] I use a Sennheiser e906 mic on his cab. I find I get what I need out of most setups with a single mic.”

Seen right at the beginning of this instagram video, during the recording of Currents

In this video you can see two API 512 Mic Preamps to the right behind Kevin Parker inside the API Lunchbox

You can see the Teczon 4 track cassette recorder in this picture on the back of the Lonerism album.

As seen in this FIFA 21 premiere video, Kevin now has a black Retroscape Impala. It's definitely the Retroscape model because the switches are black, while the original had colored switches. While he used to use an original 60s tobacco burst Impala, it's possible that it was lost in the wild fire that destroyed most of his old gear a few years ago and he replaced it with the Retroscape.

Theres a Diamond phaser in the background next to the wem amp head

A Dunlop Cry Baby Wah pedal can be seen on Kevin's pedalboard, in this photo. And the same pedalboards can be seen in this photo.

You can see the monitor at 0:06 he actually has a pair of them

This is a photo taken during the recording sessions for Innerspeaker. The entirety of Innerspeaker was recorded to a Boss BR-1600. Kevin considered it an upgrade as he was already fluent with recording with the BR-864.

In the link above you can see the Roland HS-60 in Kevin's studio. The photo is taken from the band's recent performance for BBC Radio 1 Annie Mac, which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frbnrSIgjas&list=RD0pbGNJ8NiS0&index=2&ab_channel=BBCRadio1 it can be seen several times around the 48 sec mark.

Kevin has been using pro marks for a long time now at least since the the lonerism recording days, the 5a hickory tear drop model is the closest stick I could find that resembles the picture the most

In this picture, Kevin can be seen having the Boss GE-7 pedal on his pedalboard.

In the NPR Music Tiny Desk (Home) Concert video, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala can be seen using a Shure SM58 microphone.

An experience fuzz pedal can be seen in this photo of kevin's pedalboard

Kevin has been known to use a 1965 Hofner violin bass since Lonerism. you can tell its a 1965/66 model due to the the larger pickup rings and the larger control panel, with binding and a raised plastic logo.

In this photo of Kevin's effects board, at the top left of the board, a DC10 Power Supply can be seen

Kevin Parker of Tame Impala frequently uses the Telefunken M80 dynamic microphone during performances. According to a post by Retro Knob on Facebook, the microphone's use is evident in various appearances, including Tame Impala's Deezer session. In this session, Kevin Parker is seen using an all-white M80 microphone from the start. Additionally, band member Jay Watson uses both a gold and a white M80 microphone, with the latter visible at the 1:45 mark of the session video.

used in the making of Currents (x2)

At 0:47-0:52 seconds you can see Roland SDD-320 Dimension D sitting in one of his racks with a Lexicon Prime Time Model 93 and what looks to be another Lexicon effects unit (maybe a reverb or multi-effects) above it.

At 1:27 he is playing "Mind Mischief" with Epiphone DR

In a post on Instagram by Tame Impala, Kevin Parker is shown with two Roland TR-707 Rhythm Composers, highlighting their use in his setup for "One More Year."

At the 0:02 on the slow rush video promo there's a klark teknik DN60 real time spectrum under the oscilloscope

On the right portion of this picture, near the Casio PT-50, it is possible to spot a Roland TR-505. It is recognizable due to the display position (black spot) and the positions of the pads.

Kevin is seen holding this microphone in a photo of him in his studio.

At the very begining (between 0:00 and 0:01) you can see that he holds Les Paul with "Greco" on headstock. They seem to like those japanese LP as in one of the videos they use also black Burny.

Can be seen on Kevin's Pedalboard during the live from Wave House set.

Parker’s pedals are divided between three boards. The first has a Roland GR-55 synth running into a Yamaha mixer routed to a Radial J48 DI box.
