Miyavi

The Taylor T5, the actual guitar that samurai guitarist MIYAVI uses at concerts, was specially displayed for the two days of the guitar show. Also, live video and photos of Miyavi from the NAMM Show 2013, which was held in America in January, were displayed at the booth.

Fender Japan contacted Miyavi to use a Real Telecaster when he was playing two custom made LsL teles and they offered this Hot Rod to him.

MIYAVI stated in an interview during NAMM 2013 "I usually playing the acoustic" but he had a hard time to play an acoustic live on stage with DJ so he used his Taylor T5-C1. Nevertheless on every live show and unplugged session you see him using this Taylor guitar. He loves the acoustic and even prefers the sound of it over and electronic.

Miyavi's main amp. Most of the sound comes out of this amp. Though he may use a Marshall amp in some lives as substitution of the Super Sonic.

The Super-Sonic series: High-performance, no-nonsense tube amps that create unmistakable Fender clean tones and expressive modern high-gain tones without masking the tonal character of the player’s guitar. The new 100-watt Super-Sonic Twin combo contains several sonically versatile new features, including an Arena/Club switch that takes the power down to 25 watts (to preserve its great high-volume tube tone at lower “club gig” volume levels); a Notch Tune control that lets you move the midrange notch and fine-tune the distortion characteristics for a variety of American and British amp sounds; a rear-panel damping control that lets you select “normal,” “loose” or “tight” speaker response for sounds ranging from warm and loose to tight and focused; and the new Fender Automatic Bias control, which lets you easily set the output tubes to the recommended factory setting and to your preference of “hotter” or “cooler” bias with no need for meters or tools.

Another amp of Miyavi's equipments. All sound through the two Timefactors, Roland SP-555, and Korg Kaoss Pad comes out of this amp.

This amp is for the output of Miyavi's effect chain ended with Fuzz Factory.

There are 3 sets of amps on the stage. He use the acrylic resin board depending on the size of the stage.

He uses 2 EVENTIDE/TIME FACTOR’s to create various sounds. The footswitch at the right front is used to control the TIME FACTOR’s. The center box is a selector to switch between the two TIME FACTOR’s.

The TS808HW Tube Screamer is the ultimate edition of one of the most heralded distortion/overdrive pedals of all time! The original TS808 was key to the signature tone of legendary Blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan (and countless other axeslingers, as well), and the TS808HW packs the same glorious tube-inspired saturation that propelled the Tube Screamer to legendary status — and then some! This limited-edition version of the classic is handwired on turret boards for premium sound and is limited to just 100 units per month (50 in the US).

THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY BASS GEAR THAT WAS EVER DESIGNED ON THE PLANET.

This is a clean boost pedal Miyavi is using which is placed at the last position of the effect chain before the Fender Super Sonic amp.

This Hand-Painted Fuzz Factory is been placed at the last position of the effect chain, which is A/Bed with the Shaffer Replica boost pedal, before the Marshall amp.

Right board: MI Pollyanna Octave Providence PEC-2 t.c. electronic Polytune T-REX Tremster

Miyavi has the H9 hooked up to his Providence board, providing instant tone changes with the vast algorithms available in the unit.

Since Samurai Sessions Vol. 2, the guitar's overtones we hear are no longer coming from the Polyanna Octavia, but from EHX's POG unit.

This pedal in between the POG and the Eventide H9 appears to be either the Pete Cornish P-1 or the OC-1, both in their 2016 anniversary editions that share the same design. This definitely needs review since there's an extra knob on it on the left side, meaning it's either a different pedal than the ones mentioned or it's been modified.

The Sonus Wahoo is also to be found in this picture, probably providing a lot of utility to Miyavi's futuristic sound with its various filtering options.

When MIYAVI was working on his album Fire Bird 2016 he used his "Travel Kit" including the CME Xkey keyboard and Apple Logic Pro X as his software of choice.

Used since 2010 during live performance
