Reeves Gabrels

In a photo shared by Reeves Gabrels on Facebook, he is seen using the TC Electronic Stereo Chorus Flanger, highlighting its role in his guitar effects setup.

This is the main reeves gabrels signature model, obviously used by him live and on studio.

"With Tin Machine I was using a Steinberger through a Mesa Boogie Quad Preamp and the Boogie Simul-Class Stereo 295 power amp and two 4x12s."

"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."
