Marc Ford's Gear
Elijah, me and [pedal steel guitarist] Stew Jackson were all using BMF Electric Sunshine fuzzes
Circa 2007: Effects on the disc include a Fuzz Face, Octavia, and a wah.
Asked which of his old guitars he misses, he points to his ’63 Tele. “I dearly love that guitar, but it’s hung up somewhere. Over the years, whether I’ve had money or haven’t had money, equipment was always what I bought and it was as an investment so that when times got rough, I’d sell some things off. And there were some phenomenal guitars I’ve had and had to let go… But, you know, they make more.”
Ford also uses Reverend guitars on the road, and a ’59 Historic Les Paul.
"I used a nice guitar Bill Asher built for me, and this Höfner I found; I think it’s a Club 40."
And I have a Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay.
In an interview with Guitar World, Marc Ford mentions using the Analog Man King of Tone Overdrive pedal.
I also had an Analogman King of Tone and an old prototype Red Rooster booster pedal
"When it comes to Fuzz Face-style pedals, MJM’s London Fuzz is a great one I’ve been using—very musical and rich-sounding. Fuzz Faces can flub out on you, but the MJM London stays tight and big"
"- And Mike [Analogman] also sent me his MK IV fuzz.
The Sun Bender?
Yep, and it’s great, too."
"- What’s the main acoustic you always resort to?
- Well, that’s not here. It’s a Martin D-18. Don’t have that here."
