Kevin Ray

Listed on Kevin's official Ashdown artist page.

In an Instagram post, Kevin Ray showcases his pedal setup for the tour, which includes the Electro-Harmonix Freeze Sound Retainer among other effects.

In 2019, Kevin Ray showcased his pedalboard on Instagram, featuring the Strymon OB.1 Optical Compressor and Clean Boost Pedal as part of his tour setup.

Here we can see Kevin with a Rickenbacker 4003 bass.

In this image from Kevin's Instagram we can see him playing (what looks like) a custom Fender P bass with black inlays.

Kevin can be seen playing a Fender Deluxe PJ in Seafoam Pearl. It seems this is his new go to bass for playing live

*"So, summer 2015 tour rig would have been: - 2 almost identical Fender P/Js. One was a store bought model where nothing changed. American Standard with a super thin J neck (me thinks those are the 60s style, but I could be wrong). The other is my Fender master custom P with the Marcus Miller neck. Had a J bridge pickup added. No fancy electronics. Original Badass bridge added. The big deal with that one was the silver flake finish. Took more than a year to wait for the paint job. Nothing is tuned down for good, just a low Eb for some of the songs that need it. - Delay is just an MXR Carbon Copy. I try new stuff all the time and that one just feels so good to manipulate by hand. - Shut Up and Dance fuzz is actually just an old Ibanez bass Tube Screamer. I throw in a JHS 4-Wheeler if it needs more definition. Nowadays, I use an Aguilar Agro or the Brimstone crossover distortion (Best distortion on the market) - The Rick... OH the rick. I miss her. She's SUPER rare. factory turquoise, built in 2001. I don't have the heart to subject her to the road anymore. Maybe in the future I will bring her out cuz gear heads always want to chat about it after the show."

In this Talkbass article Kevin says he uses the pedal live

In this January 21, 2017 TalkBass response, Kevin says he used this cab when recording “Shut Up And Dance”.

Sorry to chime in late here, but just thought I would give you the tone rundown for SUAD. I recorded it with a completely unnamed pedal that was handbuilt (i'll try and figure out what that thing was and get back to ya), direct into an avalon and into protools. It's layered with the sound of my Ashdown ABM head going into a basic SVT Classic cab. As far as live, I used to use an Ibanez Bass Tube Screamer and/or a JHS 4-wheeler, into my Ashdown ABM through an AMB 610 cab. Nowadays I use a Brimstone crossover distortion. I never used to use any compression live but now i use a Strymon OB-1

Hoped that helped,
