Kurt Cobain, the renowned guitarist and singer, explicitly mentioned owning and utilizing an Echoplex in an interview hosted by Nardwuar the Human Serviette, which took place on January 4, 1994. During this discussion, at a specific timestamp (1:01), Cobain can be heard talking about owning and using an Echoplex. This information is further substantiated by additional confirmation from a dedicated gear website: https://whatgear.com/pro/kurt-cobain/maestro-echoplex

Kurt Cobain utilized a Fender 6G6A/B Bassman amplifier during the recording of the album "Nevermind." This information is corroborated by Dave Friedman, who personally delivered the amp to the studio, as detailed in the "Live Nirvana | Equipment Guide | Kurt Cobain's Amplifiers and Effects Pedals."

Citing a "[p]ersonal communication" with Earnie Bailey, Caio Leme of LiveNIRVANA.com reports that Cobain used a Countryman Type 85 DI for live shows starting on October 26, 1993 (at MECCA Auditorium, Milwaukee, Wisconsin), including for Nirvana's MTV Unplugged show. Leme includes this photograph taken by Kevin Mazur of Cobain at the MECCA Auditorium show.

Typically placed before the effects, with one output connected to them and then balanced out to the desk. On Unplugged, it was used after the effects.

According to Caio Leme at LiveNIRVANA.com, Cobain used a PL-20 during the United States tour for Bleach. Leme gives a time frame spanning May 26, 1989 (at the Lindbloom Student Center, Green River Community College, Auburn, Washington) to August 26, 1989 (at the Center on Contemporary Art, Seattle, Washington), also providing this photograph taken by P. Edwin Letcher on June 24, 1989 of Nirvana performing at Al’s Bar.

Used mostly on the Bleach USA Tour. A Marshall cab with taped logo was added at the Lindbloom Student Center show and remained in the rig until the Bleach European tour.

As documented by this October 24, 1991 photo taken by Ed Sirrs, Cobain used a Studio .22 for a show that day at Off the Record in San Diego, California. On LiveNIRVANA.com, Caio Leme notes that it was “[p]ossibly a rental”.

Kurt Cobain briefly used a Seymour Duncan SJBJ-1 JB Jr. in the bridge position of his Fiesta Red Fender Mustang, as seen during the Roseland Ballroom performance on July 23, 1993, in New York City. This is evidenced by the video "Nirvana - 7/23/93 - [3-Songs] - Roseland Ballroom - (New Music Seminar) - New York, NY" by Alt Copperpot5 on YouTube. He later switched to the full-size JB humbucker.

According to Ernie, Kurt was using a Carver power amp, which was made in the northwest and was very unique.

In this picture from February 1989 at the East Ballroom, Kurt can be seen using his partscaster Mustang alongside a Randall RG100ES Head, Soundtech 2x12 and a Marshall 4x12 cabinet

Kurt Cobain used the Univox Hi-Flier Phase 2 during his performance on January 23, 1993, in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, and at the Roseland Ballroom on July 23, 1993. Additionally, this guitar is likely among the ones used during the "In Utero" recording sessions in February 1993, as Steve Albini has noted that the guitars for "In Utero" primarily consisted of the Univox Flier, Fender Competition Mustang, Ferrington Guitar, and The Veleno.

Kurt Cobain used a Teisco DEL REY EV-2T, as evidenced by a video from NirvanaGuitars on YouTube, which discusses a specific guitar of this model that was reportedly signed and played by Cobain and recently sold for $120,000.

Kurt Cobain used Schaller Security Locks for Guitar Straps on his Mustangs during the "In Utero" tour, as evidenced by their notable presence on his main Mustang.

in a email send by @nerdvanaofficial to laundry room studios (where curmudgeon was recorded in 1992) asking about which model of the MXR phase 100 was used, Barrett Jones said that:

Kurt brought his own Small Stone to the session.

A receipt from around 1990 confirms that Kurt Cobain purchased Dean Markley Electric Guitar NickelSteel Light, .009 - .042 strings.

Livenirvana confirms that this was the humbucker installed in the bridge position of Kurt's vandalism stratocaster.

In this photo taken by photographer Al Ford Nirvana is playing live at The Forge, Vancouver BC CA March 7th,1991. and in the back you can see a Hiwatt LS4x12, Similar to the LA4x12 Kurt Cobain also had used before. Kurt is rumored to have been using this for the purpose of not damaging his LA4x12 on stage.

Kurt Cobain Used A Black Fort Bryan Guitar Strap during the European In Utero Tour in Feburary 1994, Pictured here. Hes seen in this picture using on his Skystang.

Nirvana guitar historian "Nirvana Guitars" Eric Voltar; who has documented, archived and replicated Cobains music gear with time accure gear, tone and sounds as his profession, has stated in this post that Kurt was spotted wearing one and has created a replica of Kurt Cobains Famous Skystang with the Correct strap for the European In Utero Tour, showing pictures of Kurt using the strap on his Live European tour.

Kurt Cobain used the Dunlop Straplok Dual Design Strap Retainer System during the Nevermind tour on most of his guitars, most notably on his Fender Jaguar, until he switched to Schaller strap locks during the In Utero era. This information is supported by an image available on Equipboard.

In the provided image, Kurt Cobain is seen using the Randall Commander RG-300 Head along with a 2x12 cabinet.

According to Steve Albini, a Univox Square Wave pedal was used during the "In Utero" sessions. This is evident in songs such as "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle" and "Very Ape." A video by Aaron Rash on YouTube, titled "the in utero square wave pedal Cobain used," further supports this claim by highlighting the unique sound of the pedal that Kurt Cobain used during recording.

Kurt Cobain used a Fender Mustang Sunburst (1971) during the Bleach era, incorporating a pickup from one of his smashed Univox guitars, alongside another unidentified pickup. He utilized this guitar for two shows before it was destroyed. For visual confirmation, refer to the image provided on Equipboard.

In a video by Aaron Rash titled "the guitar amps kurt cobain used to record in utero - FINALLY SOLVED," it is confirmed that Kurt Cobain used a Fender Twin Reverb II for most of the main tracks on "In Utero." Rash provides photo evidence, sound matching, and a confirmation from Earnie Bailey to substantiate this claim.

Most people seem to think that Kurt’s first guitar was a 1976 Ibanez Explorer. This is most likely based on a photo of Kurt sitting with a guitar that resembles a Destroyer, taken sometime around late 1982 at his aunt Mari-Earl’s home in Washington. It is important to note here that this guitar was Kurt’s second guitar – the one he bought after taking lessons with Warren Mason, his first guitar teacher.

In the YouTube video titled "Nirvana - Season In The Sun (Official Video) [Remastered Video+Audio]" by Friday Killaz, Kurt Cobain can be seen playing the drums during a soundcheck for the demo of "Seasons in the Sun," using the Tama Artstar II 9 pieces LU Signature drum kit, while also singing.

In the YouTube video "Kurt Cobain - Creation (Upgrade)" by RareNirvana, it is evident that Kurt Cobain recorded a demo in 1987-1988 using an Ibanez 2609B Black Eagle Bass while singing. This bass does not belong to Cobain but to Krist Novoselic, and Cobain played it upside down, as it is a right-handed instrument.
