“From the first time I saved my money as a teen to buy a Jackson to the day they released my first sig model Kelly, there was always an aura of greatness about the brand and the instruments,” said Friedman. “Even more important than that, the people at the company have always gone way beyond the call of duty to help me pursue my musical goals—even when I was not officially working with the company. That speaks volumes to me. My longstanding relationship with Jackson gave birth to my new sig model, which was a massive project for both of us. It’s a guitar that can hang with the most aggressive playing possible, as well as allows tender interpretations of melodies, two major elements of my music. Oh, and it looks badass, too.”

We can see in this video from 2002 Marty using an Ibanez SZ520QM Bright Blue, before his signature Ibanez SZ model was available.

"I liked this guitar so much that I used it on tour quite a bit, despite having a signature model out by another maker. This was a go to guitar for all the recording I was doing at the time." - Marty

"It was kind of a rare guitar, even back then. But it was by far my favorite. I searched and searched for one, but never could find one. Is it any wonder that my first sig model was a black explorer? One of my techs in the 90`s, Michael Kaye was always buying and selling guitars, and he was aware that I wanted a Hamer Explorer if he could ever find one. One day he found this one and I bought it immediately"

"I like a guitar that weighs more when I play live, and this guitar is pretty light, so I didn't use this SG on tour much if at all, but it's a great sounding guitar so I recorded with it a lot on Risk, and the solo albums I was doing at the time." - Marty

it's stated as been used on the "scenes" album

In this interview with Premier Guitar Marty Friedman said " I used the Steve Morse signature for the majority of the solos and then a Powerball on some stuff."

In this interview, Marty Friedman says he uses Engl amps, including the Engl Steve Morse Signature Model.

"'What amps were you running?'

'Engl amps. They send me five or six amps, I switch from one to the other, and they all sound good. An important thing when switching amps is, if you’re the same guy playing rhythms and leads, you don’t necessarily want to go through the same amp, because the tones tend to blend. But within only one Engl amp, you can get a great variety of sounds. I used the Steve Morse signature for the majority of the solos and then a Powerball on some stuff.'"

at 1:23 Marty says: the amplifier that i actually use is this Crate Black Voodoo, i use it in my concerts and in the studio and i use it around the world.

"You’ve used a lot of BOSS guitar products such as the GT-6, GT-8, and GS-10. How have you used those multi-effects processors?" - BOSS asking Marty Friedman.

BOSS interviews Marty Friedman in this article and asks how he uses the GT-6, GT-8, and GS-10.

We find out that Marty uses the BOSS GS-10 in this article from BOSS.

Marty lists the Maxon auto filter on his website as a piece of gear he uses. He says it gives more of a human voice quality to his leads if used sparingly.

Marty lists this delay pedal on the gear section of his website.

In this article Marty says he rather uses amp simulators than effects with the exception of some chorus.

"Actually, BOSS had a thing call Slow Gear, and they have an auto wah [Ed. Note: the AW-3] that I like very much."
