Phil Demmel

In this video, Phil Demmel demonstrates his signature Jackson guitar. He says, "I equate a Jackson guitar with metal," at 0:12.

At 9:25 in this video Phil shows us his new picks which he says are Tortex T3s. At around 10:30 he says they are .60 gauge.

We’ve been able to program our Peavey 5150/6505 settings into it and interface it with our Custom Audio Electronics effects unit so we have access to all our presets, and also manual moves if need be. Included in my CAE unit is: Rocktron Prophecy 2 for some clean tones (it will be weeded out after I get more familiar with the Fractal), MXR Zakk Wylde Overdrive, MXR Super Fuzz, BOSS CE-5 Chorus, MXR EVH Phase-90, BOSS NS-2 Noise Suppressor, Voodoo Lab pedal power, Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress.In the effects loop- BOSS DD-7 delay, CE-5 chorus and a compressor for that Neil Schon sustain. Depending on the venue I’ll use the rack mounted Dunlop Wah or a Zakk Wylde wah (in polka dot Buddy guy casing tributing Randy Rhoads).

Phil Demmel of Machine Head uses Dunlop Heavy Core Guitar Strings, as listed on the Dunlop Manufacturing artist page.

"As of two days ago we’ve switched to using an amp/tone/effects processor called the Fractal Axe-FX…"

In this interview, Phil Demmel says, "The 5150 head is the centrepiece of my setup and everything kind of builds around that. It's really close to the original sound of the 5150 but we do a couple of special little tweaks to them and it really translates live."

In this interview, Phil Demmel says, "I'm running through a Dunlop Zakk Wylde Wah, but I use it with the Buddy Guy housing, so it looks like Randy Rhoads with the polka dots, but I've got the Zakk guts inside of it!"

Phil Demmel of Machine Head uses the Peavey 6505+ 120-Watt Tube Guitar Amp Head, as confirmed by Peavey.com.

phil and robb both use these amps live

Phil Demmel introduced the Jackson Fury model at NAMM 2019, as highlighted in a video by Jackson Guitars.

"Through the effects loop I run chorus and a Boss DD-5 delay together, kind of a Satriani lead tone which goes out to the channel switch that I have on my [pedal]board…," says Phil Demmel, in this interview.

Phil Demmel says, in this interview, "I don't change any channels – my distortion is coming from the Zakk OD. The 5150 clean channel is kind of funny so I just take my Overdrive off and choke down on the guitar volume a bit, which brings out a good clean tone."

In Machine Head's Production Blog #5 on YouTube, Phil Demmel is seen experimenting with the DigiTech Whammy Pitch-Shifting Pedal.

"Included in my CAE unit is: Rocktron Prophecy 2 for some clean tones (it will be weeded out after I get more familiar with the Fractal), MXR Zakk Wylde Overdrive, MXR Super Fuzz, BOSS CE-5 Chorus…"

"Depending on the venue I’ll use the rack mounted Dunlop Wah or a Zakk Wylde…"
