Paul Gilbert

“For amps, I used a Marshall 2061x or a Germino Lead 55, which is a reproduction of an old Marshall circuit. And a Marshall 1960TV 4 x 12 cabinet."

Under the "Straps" section is the 2 Inch Nylon ClipLock by DiMarzio on DiMarzio's official website, if you click on the link it brings you to a info screen which tells you that they come in 10 different colours and have a note: "Nylon was our first choice for ClipLock® Quick Release Guitar Straps. We chose automotive seatbelt material for its comfort, strength and durability. Unlike inexpensive polypropylene, nylon has a smooth, satin feel, allowing the guitar to slide freely during performance. The fabric conforms to your body and adds a new level of comfort, yet it is strong enough to hold over 150 pounds! DiMarzio® ClipLock® Quick Release Guitar Straps were the first to feature the heavy-duty plastic clip that allows you to easily change from guitar to guitar with a little fingertip pressure. It is the most secure and unique fastening method available to safeguard your guitar. ClipLock® Quick Release Guitar Straps have been used for years by Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Steve Morse and many other professional musicians. They are the industry standard for strength, security and quality. ClipLock® Quick Release Guitar Straps attach securely to your guitar with two sturdy bushings and extra-long screws sized to fit the strap bushing screw holes on most electric guitars and basses."

"What I've discovered is, recently, I moved to Portland, Oregon, and they're, they're [the owners of Catalinbread] my neighbors! They're like, two miles away from my house. So I went and visited the factory a couple o' weeks ago and they had this Belle Epoch, like, Echoplex copy. And, I think it sounds good, but I saw it on Eric Johnson's pedalboard and I'm like 'If he's usin' one, I gotta get one o' these.' So, it's got that little bit o' slap, hopefully they don't even notice, but it just sort of makes it easier to... It's not quite so dry. And, y'know, when you do your... (proceeds to play the riff to "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" by Van Halen) See, it has that little bit of... slap that Eddie gets on the first album."

In an interview from Jan 2011, Paul Gilbert is asked:

"If you had to give up all your pedals but three, what would they be?"

In his reply he praises the Korg Pitchblack pedal tuner:

PG: That is a painful question. I cannot give up my pedals. I suppose my most stomped-on pedals at the moment are a HomeBrew Electronics CPR Compressor, a Fulltone Soul Bender, and a Korg Pitchblack tuner.

The CPR makes the guitar more sensitive, so I can play lightly and still have the notes come out loud, even with a clean sound. The Soul Bender has the most unique character of any distortion box I've tried. And the Korg tuner is the easiest to read and most accurate tuner I've used.
