Reeves Gabrels

"My pedal board with The Cure is 50? x 25? because we are covering 30 years of sounds. Currently, on that board I go wah, Source Audio Multiwave Distortion; Tuner, MXR Phase 90, t.c. electronic Shaker Vibrato, t.c. electronic Vortex Flanger, Source Audio Filter, Source Audio Orbital Modulator, Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar with a Bearfoot Effects line booster to help the Ravish with level issues, Bearfoot Effects compressor, then Bearfoot Effects Honeybeast, Bearfoot Effects Model H, Creation Audio booster, then into stereo with Boss Dimension C pedal, Maxon chorus and flanger, into a modded Line 6 DL4, then into the big t.c. electronic Flashback delay, and a t.c. electronic Hall of Fame reverb."

"Joining the cure also changed my approach to the live rig I used with my own band: I went with the cleaner Reeves amp (no relation) as a pedal platform rather than using the amplifier preamp as an overdrive source as I had done in the past. For my own band rig, I bought the SIB Varidrive pedal, which I discovered when we were mixing David Bowie’s Earthling. It is a tube pedal where the tube is getting hit with the right plate voltage. I just run that on most of the time. I can roll the Reverend’s volume back to clean up"

"With The Cure I use Bearfoot FX: their Model H, which is like a Hiwatt, and the Honey Beast super overdrive. You can stack a bunch of their pedals and the noise floor is lower than just the Varidrive."

"Then the signal goes to a Boss Tuner, Boss GE-7 EQ, Dunlop MXR Micro Univibe, into the Varidrive, into the Pigtronix Class A booster, into a t.c. electronic chorus, going up to the Korg Kaoss pad then into a Line 6 DL 4."
