Khruangbin's Gear
Mark Speer-"And then it goes into this EHX Holy Grail usually set around noon or one o'clock or so, it depends on where we are in the set. That always stays on."
Mark Speer-"Distortion pedal. I just have everything basically turned down all the way, except for the level. It's cranked. So no dist, no tone, all volume."
Q-"What year is this guitar ?" Mark Speer-"Probably a 2001 reissue. It's not a vintage or anything."
He added DiMarzio Cruiser on neck and bridge position. Modified five-way switch with middle pickup wired the wrong way. Tusk saddles on the bridge.
Mark Speer-"From the distortion it goes into this mini Boss(in fact MXR) Dyna comp. And that just keeps everything at the same level."
Mark Speer-"On the record I usually use a Fender Deluxe. Like the 65, like the blackface one"
Mark Speer-"This is the one I use on the road" Q-"Did you change speaker or do anything to it ?" Mark Speer-"Nah. It's stock.Stock amp."
Mark Speer-"it's not really a mystery. Just a green Boss phaser"
Mark Speer-"...Into a Strymon El Capistan with this pedal controlling the repeats"
Mark refers to the pedal briefly at 14:02 as "this pedal" while displaying his El Capistan. He uses the Boss pedal as an expression pedal to control repeats on his El Capistan.
During their performance at the Goat Festival in Curitiba, Brazil, on November 16th, Khruangbin used the Chase Bliss Audio Warped Vinyl MKII pedal, as shown in the Imgur album tagged with #khruangbin and #pedalboard.
In their NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert, Khruangbin's bassist can be seen playing an SX VJB57C electric bass, showcasing its use in their live performance.
"Mark Speer plugs his Strat into a Dunlop Fasel Crybaby Wah. From there, the signal hits a Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter, a Boss DS-1 Distortion, an MXR Dyna Comp Mini, an Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail, and a Strymon El Capistan. The Strymon utilizes a Roland EV-5 expression pedal that sits off to the side of the board. A Cioks DC5 supplies the juice."
In this rig rundown he has a TC Electronic Polytune clip on his guitar. Is also visible in multiple live video recordings and pictures.
A Cry Baby can be seen while discussing the pedal board.
"Powering this with..?" "On the bottom of the board, there is a Cioks DC5."
In an episode of the podcast Song Exploder, Mark Speer, the guitarist of Khruangbin, discussed the recording process of the song "So We Won't Forget" from their third album. Speer highlighted the use of a Star Instruments Synare, at 15:25, stating, "I think my favourite part is the Synare (laugh) (...) To me it adds so much bounce." This confirms the utilization of the Star Instruments Synare by Khruangbin in the creation of their music, as directly referenced in the podcast hosted by Hrishikesh Hirway, episode 188 titled "Khruangbin."
Khruangbin used the Moog Minimoog Voyager during their performance at The Met in Philadelphia on Tuesday, May 21st, 2024, as evidenced by an image available here.
