Marcus King

In this Echo Sessions video, you can see the baby blue Mini Deja Vibe 3 pedal starting at :37

In this Premier Guitar video, we see Marcus King explaining his use of the TS9 with his '65 Fender Super Reverb.

I cut out the pedalboard a long time ago, and the Tube Screamer stuck around as a power attenuator. … So I keep the volume on this tube screamer at about 7 o’clock and put the drive up here at about 2 o’clock just to give it a little bit of edge, you know? A little bit of drive.

Throughout this video, you catch glimpses of Marcus' pedals, of which an MXR Phase 90 is one. You can tell by the vibrant orange colour and single black knob.

In this interview with Music Radar, Marcus says of the Beano Boost,

This was actually a gift to me from my buddy [Black Keys singer/guitarist] Dan Auerbach. I use it very sparingly because it really does its job and gates the hell out of everything. It’s kinda like my self-destruct button, when I want s*** to really go off the wall and start controlling feedback, though I’ll usually use it on Welcome Around Here.

In this article talking about the gear King uses on his "El Dorado album, under the "Marcus King's Gear" side panel, a Super Fuzz is listed as one of his effects pedals.

In this interview with Music Radar, Marcus says of the Mini DejáVibe, “I honestly don’t know what it is about this pedal… I have just always really liked the sound of it. I always said to myself that I’d never have a proper pedalboard, but I was heading out on tour with Chris Robinson in our band, As The Crow Flies [playing Black Crowes songs], which needed a few different sounds and was why I built it. I had something like this in mind for The Black Crowes’ song Halfway To Everywhere - that needed a really good-vibe sound. So I got this one and ended up using it on my next record. Actually, I think I might kick it in at sporadic moments throughout the set.”

According to this post from the manufacturer, this pedal has replaced the Ibanez TS9 on Marcus’s Pedalboard.

In this interview with Music Radar, Marcus says “I rang my friend who works at Fender in Nashville just to stop by and see the showroom. They had all these pedals there, they’d only just been designed so they weren’t available yet, and he ended up giving me one of each." The Mirror Image delay was one of those pedals.

Tru-Fi Pedals - Marcus King who is on tour right now in Europe show here in a great photo by Dave Vann. The red circle you can see Tru-Fi Colordriver in use, he also mentions his love of it in Vintage Guitar this month. I don't know what to say I just am beyond words seeing Tru-Fi in action with such a great guitar player and artist. - The Fuzz Life - WWW.TRU-FI.COM #marcuskingband #guitarplayer #newmusic #gibson #gibson335 #guitargear #pedalboard #pedalboardoftheday #fuzzbox #colordriver #tru_fi_pedals #guitarist #gearnerd #knowyourtone #geareybusey #pedalporn

In this interview with Music Radar, Marcus says "I don’t really use a volume pedal for anything other than a channel muter. It’s either all the way on or all the way off. Occasionally, I might use it for what it was intended, which is to have the full gain of the guitar but slightly backed off. To be honest, while I do have this volume pedal out in front of me, I mainly use my volume knob… that’s the best way to clean up the tone.”

In this interview with Music Radar, Marcus says “I like things you can find in a pinch, so the original Cry Baby works great. I loved how Johnny Winter used it. Also there’s Frank Zappa, who is like the forefather of the wah-wah. And obviously Jimi Hendrix and Clapton, too… you can’t beat those guys."

At 8:35 of this Premier Guitar Rig Rundown, you can see Marcus' Boss TU-3 tuner stompbox.

At 0:13 in this video, Marcus King says:

So I got a MXR Boost right here... which we just put back on the board. It's really great if you just need that little extra leap to get you where you're going. Basically a clean boost, it just boosts the signal entirely.

At 1:45 in this pedalboard rundown, Marcus King says:

So I got my Echoplex. My actual Echoplex is somewhere in Nashville, but I don't know where I left that. I need to find that. I think it's in a storage locker somewhere, but it was getting repaired last I heard, but I get this little Echoplex, and it's great. When we do songs like Beautiful Stranger. I keep it a little slappy.

Three minutes into this pedalboard discussion, Marcus King tells a story about why he adopted the MXR Reverb pedal, which he uses for an extreme reverb effect. This pedal is essentially cranked for effect, while he uses reverb tanks in his amps for more subtle reverb.

At 4:47 Marcus King says

This tremolo is really great.

At 5:09, Marcus discusses how he found Tru-Fi pedals and the Two Face fuzz.

So I'm a window shopper, I mean, like a lot of us. I saw this pedal and was like that is beautiful. The first pedal I saw of his was just this big orange soapbox, he call it the Colordriver. And he bases all these off of all these actual pedals from the '60s and they all have this great mid-century look to them. The Colordriver is gone right now, I actually replaced it with the Two Face. It's called a Two Face because its got a '69 Fuzz Face and a '70 version of the Fuzz Face, so you can kinda switch between the two of them.

At 7:16 Marcus King says

Yeah, this Rotovibe is killer, man. I love it.

At 7:30 in this video, Marcus King discusses his phaser.

And the MXR Phase 100, the newer version of it. And the only thing I can tell different about it is the light indicator, which is fun to have, because before there was really only one way to find out if your phase pedal was on. Yeah, great pedal.

In a Premier Guitar article from July 30, 2024, photos and details of Marcus King’s pedalboard from an in-store performance at Nashville Guitar Center show the MXR Micro Chorus M148, which is identified in the caption of the photo.

According to L.R. Baggs he uses this device .
