"Depending on the situation, I use a couple of pedals from a great pedal company called 'Wampler', namely their 'Euphoria' overdrive pedal as it's incredible!" -Nick Johnston

"I've used D'Addario strings since I started playing guitar. 10's to be specific, but occasionally I'll use 9's."

Guitarist Nick Johnston demonstrates the Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive pedal in a YouTube video by Keith Merrow titled "Nick Johnston- Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive Demo." Known for his expressive playing and enviable tone, Johnston showcases how the 805 Overdrive complements his style, particularly with his preference for single-coil pickups and strat-style guitars.

"I really like what Friedman Amplification is doing. I recorded my new album entirely with 2 of their heads. I used the Brown Eye/Hairy Brown Eye for all of the leads and The Dirty Shirley for all of the rhythms. I'm totally in love with those amplifiers!" -Nick Johnston

"When I’m playing a guitar, the last thing I want to think about is playing a guitar. To some, that might sound strange. To me, that’s perfection. I’ve always tried to connect with an instrument to the point where the only thing standing between the music in my head and the outside world is my ability to perform it. With this guitar, I’ve found the instrument to help me achieve that. This is the result of more than half my life playing and pursuing music." -Nick Johnston

"Been using these @jimdunlopusa .88's lately." -Nick Johnston
