Peter "Blackie" Black

Blackie uses a JCM 800 Marshall head as seen in this photo from November 3rd, 2015 at the Bendigo Hotel in Melbourne.

Blackie told me that he uses an "old boss chorus" for Nunchukka Superfly shows. Managed to find a photo that shows its a Boss CE-2.

Blackie uses a BOSS HM-2 pedal as can be seen in this live photo taken July 23rd, 2010 at the East Brunswick Hotel in Melbourne.

Blackie uses a Jim Dunlop Cry Baby wah pedal as can be seen in this live photo taken July 23rd, 2010 at the East Brunswick Hotel in Melbourne.

Blackie uses a JCM 800 Cabinet as seen in this photo taken at the Bendigo Hotel in Melbourne on November 3rd, 2015.

Blackie uses a BOSS DD-3 pedal as can be seen in this live photo taken July 23rd, 2010 at the East Brunswick Hotel in Melbourne.

Blackie plays his Gibson SG Standard on all Hard-Ons and Nunchukka Superfly projects. Seems like it's his all-round #1 guitar. He very kindly gave me some more detailed info on the battleworn axe.

Apparently it dates from 1980 (a '61 reissue SG Standard) - and he got it cheap because the headstock was broken (!) Blackie fitted a brass nut to replace the original, and had the pickups waxed so they didn't feedback as much. He also noted that the neck has been broken three times - but still sounds amazing.

The (white) bridge pickup mount is also clearly a replacement.

For his 'Peter Black Solo' projects, Blackie plays a Maton ECW80C, a cutaway dreadnought acoustic designed and built in Australia. This particular model is an updated reissue of the classic 70s model.
