Kevin Shields

In this source picture is a shot of Shields from a 2008 reunion show playing what looks like a J Mascis Squier Jazzmaster. However the Squier model wasn't released until October 2011, so o I don't think the submission was correct. KS has a number of Fender Jazzmasters including an antique white one with a gold scratchplate (it can be seen on the BBC documentary "History of the Guiar Riff"), and I suspect that would be the guitar in this pic.

Pro Guitar Shop writes in this article "It is almost unimaginable to picture Shields playing anything but his Fender Jaguars and Jazzmasters."

In this live video the guitar first appears around 8:45, however a more clear angle of the guitar can be seen around 21:00.

Here, Kevin Patrick Shields, holding apparently a Gibson Firebird non reverse with a shortened version of the ¿maestro tremolo?.

On Guitar Geek, this gear diagram shows that Kevin Shields uses two Marshall JCM800 amp heads.

In this interview, Loveless engineer Alan Moulder recalls that "all the rhythm guitars went through a 1960s Marshall head with an old 4×12 cab that matched the amp, and also a Vox AC30."

Used on the You Made Me Realise EP, as mentioned in this May 2018 Sound on Sound article.

“When we did the You Made Me Realise EP, we didn’t really have many instruments,” he says. “I had a Fender Sidekick 65 that I used quite a lot. They were transistor Fender amps and my friend had lent me his [Fender] Dual Showman valve amp. But I actually preferred the hardness of the transistor amps."

Kevin Shields use 2 Hiwatt custom DR103. One is limited edition(Red one).

At 20:39 after Kevin puts his guitar down you can see 2 Fender amps with "The Twin" visible on the top right. You can also see the spacing between the knobs and amp light that indicate the model of the amp.

here you can see Kevin's recent live amp rig - which includes a 1959SLP marshall head (bottom of the two marshall heads)

Used on "Only Shallow", as mentioned in this May 2018 Sound on Sound article.

Meanwhile for the distinctive squalling riff on ‘Only Shallow’, Shields had something of a eureka moment with a ’60s Burman amp and Fender Showman. “I set them up facing each other with one microphone in the middle and both of them with the tremolo going,” he explains. “So the base sound of the thing was these two amps with the tremolos shaking at different rates. I overdubbed that, so you had four different rates of tremolo. Then I sampled it in the Akai and played it backwards, so it was backwards and forwards at the same time, and then played it an octave higher.”

As you can see and the source/proof photo (next to shoegazer pedal) there is a Warp Sound by Vorg. This is a very unique pedal, such like kevin shields sound, its like a fuzzy filter that kevin uses in "Sometimes", that can be proofed because in the proof photo kevin marked "sometimes" on the pedal. There is a theory that kevin use this pedal next to a shredmaster by marshall. This can make a very fuzzy tone that reminds a lot of "sometimes" because its fuzzy enough and distorted enough, this is also why a lot of people bought the Big Muff by EHX to imitate loveless sound because this pedao mix a distorted and fuzzy sound, just like warp sound with a overdrive can do.
