Mike Einziger

Mike used a McCarty Archtop during Incubus’ Make Yourself recording and subsequent touring as well as Morning View’s recording and touring cycle. It is seen here during the Morning View sessions.

"On most all the songs, the main guitar parts were played on a Fender Jazzmaster. I have like these reissues. I also have a vintage one that I used on a lot of stuff, but a lot of it I just stuck with the reissue. I just like the way it feels and I like the way that it sounds."

In the YouTube video "Mikey Gear Tour - Part II" by incubusTV, Mike Einziger showcases his Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb Combo Amp, highlighting its role in his setup.

Mike can be first seen using a PRS Hollowbody II at 0:22 in this video.

"It's a new guitar for me to be playing, It's an Albert Lee model Music Man. Actually, Ben Kenny was the one who introduced me to this guitar. I’d been having a lot of problems with my wrist over the years and I had been changing my equipment around a little bit. So as a result I needed to find a guitar that would be the easiest to play, that makes it feel in my hands."

In the documentary film "The Morning View Sessions," Mike Einziger had a Way Huge Swollen Pickle as part of his rig. To my knowledge, this footage is unfortunately not accessible for free online. He also mentions using one in the March 2007 issue of Guitar One Magazine.

Einziger can be seen playing this butterscotch white telecaster at a little kids rock concert on Dr. Phil with Chad Smith on Drums.

" I also have this pedal called a Reel Echo. It's a Danelectro (DRE-1) pedal and it's a delay. It's like a tape simulator delay that you can change the rate of the delay without changing the pitch. A couple times I had it set really fast, like really, really fast. And I kicked it on a couple times, so it sounds like this weird feedback. But it's really just like a really fast delay kind of mixed with this reverb, and was probably kind of feeding back through my amp, too."

Einziger shows a photo of his minimal pedalboard setup, where you can see his Boss DS-1 (the 3rd pedal in the sequence). "Playing a @thebeatles cover on Letterman @LateShow tonite with @OfficialSting. I fit my pedalboard in my backpack!"

Around the touring and recording of Incubus' two seminal records Make Yourself and Morning View, Einziger used to play through a huge Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Head, plugged into two 2x12 Mesa cabinets loaded with Celestion 30s.

"I have a Marshall Plexi guitar head."

"This tiny little guy right here, I bring this guy into hotels so I can rock out in my room. On my days off I keep writing and recording. I constantly have those wheels turning."

"I started using the Holy Grail reverb pedal, which is like a spring reverb."

This is a guitar he uses commonly and can be seen in this screen capture from a performance on David Letterman.

Mike Einziger utilizes the Seymour Duncan SJM-2 Hot for Fender Jazzmaster Pickup Set to achieve enhanced output, as noted by Seymour Duncan.

"My acoustic that I've been playing on the road, made by Guild. It's just a really, really simple guitar. I just wanted something that wasn't going to break."

Mike Einziger incorporates a couple of Boss PH-2 Super Phaser pedals into his setup, routing them through a DOD FX13 Gonkulator Ring Mod, as detailed on the "Mike's Equipment" page on Tripod.

Mike Einziger's main guitar for live performances from 1999 to 2000 was his PRS McCarty Silver guitar. A good view of it can be seen at 0:15 in the music video for "Pardon Me." You can also catch little glimpses of it in the live performance of "New Skin" at SnoCore, from 2000.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure I was wrong and the item is actually a PRS Silver Sparkle Standard.
