Pat Travers

"I had my Telecaster, and I picked up a Melody Maker that I put two humbuckers in."

In the source at 8:40 it is clearly visible, that Pat Travers uses the great 1975 Fender Telecaster Custom

In this photo, which shows Travers' board from 2007 Cologne concert, the Vox Tonelab LE can be seen.

"Well, I prefer Blackstar’s Artisan Series. I have a 100-watt, a 30-watt, and a 15-watt. They’re basic – don’t have overdrive or anything. I have one of their preamp pedals for distortion and it gives me a really good sound. Nice and punchy – clean, but with great tube distortion from the pedal. The 15-watt 1×12 is one of Billy Gibbons’ favorite amps."

Pat Travers has one for studio use, he does not use dirt boxes for live playing though

"A friend loaned me one just for the project – a Gibson Custom Shop ’57 Goldtop with PAFs. It has the original-spec big, fat neck and sounds wonderful. I used it pretty much exclusively and we did very few overdubs. And I used the 100-watt Blackstar."

"In October of 2004. I like Les Pauls, but mine kept getting broken; you look at them the wrong way and the headstock snaps. PRS sent me a couple guitars and they were really solid, played great, and looked fantastic. I prefer the single-cut ones, and my main guitar is a Custom 22 Singlecut. I have them widen and round the nut because I use heavier strings, so I can take the whammy bar all the way down and it comes back in tune. Plus, I can bring it up a minor third. And I’m so glad not to have a locking nut or have to cut the ball-ends."

Phase 100 is used by Travers to achieve his iconic sound.

In this photo, which shows Travers' board from 2007 Cologne concert, the Boss OC-2 octave pedal can be seen.

When it came to recording the actual songs, I played my Paul Reed Smith Modern Eagle. I used that guitar for virtually everything. It’s beautiful. It’s my number one and has been since I got it.
