Rob Cantor

This 2011 live photo shows Rob Cantor with a Gibson Les Paul. This Les Paul was used at many Tally Hall concerts as well as both Tally Hall albums, it's also visible behind Rob at some points in his "The Making of 29 Celebrity Impressions, 1 Original Song" video.

At 1:13 in this video, Rob Cantor is seen using an AC30 amp to record parts of Out In The Twilight for Tally Hall's 2011 album Good & Evil. This same amp was also used live by Rob and is visible in many concert photos/videos.

This 2010 live photo shows Rob Cantor with a Fender Stratocaster. This Strat was his first main live guitar before he switched to the Gibson Les Paul, he would use this guitar later on in live performances of Out In The Twilight.

Rob Cantor is seen using a Hamer Archtop in this very early photo of Tally Hall live.

This 2005 photo shows Rob Cantor playing a Seagull S6 during the studio sessions of Tally Hall's Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. Rob would originally share this guitar with bandmate Joe Hawley, however Joe would become the main user of the guitar in Tally Hall's later years.

The J-185 EC was Rob's main acoustic guitar starting around 2008, he would use this at most Tally Hall concerts up until 2011.

Rob Cantor used a White Epiphone Wilshire on Tally Hall's 2006 Fearless Music performances.

From the looks of it and its 4 knob configuration similar to a Gibson SG’s configuration of knobs, this is closer to a Crestwood custom with mini humbuckers. However the tremolo has been removed so some modification would be required to get it looking exactly like this

In this YouTube video at 1:52 you can clearly see Rob is using the same multi-fx pedal as Joe, and Joe uses a GT-8.

At 3:26 in this YouTube video, Rob's Macbook is shown being used for the recording of the song, Never Meant To Know.

At 3:27, Rob Cantor is shown using Logic Pro for the recording of the track Never Meant To Know.

At 3:02 in this video, Rob can be seen using the MDR-7056 headphones while making his 29 Celebrity Impressions, 1 Original Song video.

An Esquire is visible behind Rob at 1:31 in this video. It's unknown if this guitar was ever used however it is visible in the background of several Tally Hall videos. It's unknown who actually owned it but it was likely shared by Rob and Joe as several other guitars they used were.

Rob can be seen singing into an AKG C12 VR at 1:08 in this video.

Visible in Rob's home studio in this 2014 photo.

Rob and the rest of Tally Hall often used a vibraslap named Henry at live shows, more often at acoustic shows.

Used by Rob Cantor on several live performances of Banana Man.

Tambourines were frequently part of Tally Hall's additional live percussion, most famously used by Rob and Zubin on the track Praise You, where Zubin would throw the tambourine to Rob.

This megaphone was used by both Joe and Rob at Tally Hall concerts on songs such as Ruler of Everything, Good Day, The Whole World and You, and Turn the Lights Off. The megaphone is best visible at 2:46.

Around the 1:50 mark you can see rob banging on some agogo bells before being tossed a tambourine

About 2:33 seconds into this video there is a whole bunch of pedals. The blue one with yellow text on it is the boss BD-2 blues driver

In several live pictures from 2003 to 2005, Rob Cantor can be seen using the Peavey TransTube Supreme guitar head. This specific image is from a performance the U-Club in Ann Arbor in 2003. The last known time he used the amp was at The Fire in Philadelphia on December 18, 2005.

He used the Peavey TransTube Supreme head in combination with the Crate GX412XR cabinet before switching to the Vox AC30.

In the source above, https://www.hiddeninthesand.com/wiki/index.php?title=Tally_Hall#Equipment_List, it states that "The boys (Joe Hawley, Zubin Sedghi, Andrew Horowitz, and Rob Cantor), use Sennheiser e 935 microphones.

The microphone can prominently be seen in this video performance. https://youtu.be/QBqP4ia85R4

In this 2006 photo, Rob can be seen with what appears to be two Boss TU-3s. https://youtu.be/CYnnICsVXwQ shows Joe and Andrew using the tuner. The image also shows Zubin with a TU-3.

In this YouTube video, Rob Cantor of Tally Hall can be seen using the Gibson ES-335 at 1:35. The video is very compressed, however there are details that show that it is the ES-335. The shape of the headstock matches the ES-335, and the tuning knobs also match. This was during the rerecording of Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum for the 2008 release.

Joe Hawley of Tally Hall can also be seen using the ES-335 in "NYC I: RE-MMMM" at 1:39, which reveal more details that show that it is the ES-335. The tan "outline" on the sides of the body are shared with ES-335. The pickups, while hard to see, do match the ES---and the bridge is in the correct location.

The ultimate deciding factor was an image posted to Stratosphere Sound's Facebook. The videos were recorded at Stratosphere Sound, and since neither Joe or Rob used the guitar in a live performance, it is safe to guess the guitar is owned by the studio. This image features an ES-335 on the right side of the picture, behind a Telecaster.

In the video BORALOGUE VI, posted by the official Tally Hall YouTube channel, the Boss DM-2 Delay pedal can be seen at 1:23 on top of Rob Cantor's VOX AC30 amplifier during the recording process of Good & Evil. A few seconds before, you can clearly see that it is Rob in the room playing guitar.

In several live pictures from 2003 to 2005, Rob Cantor can be seen using the Crate GX412XR 4x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet. This specific image is from a performance the U-Club in Ann Arbor in 2003. The last known time he used the cabinet was at The Fire in Philadelphia on December 18, 2005.

He used the Peavey TransTube Supreme head in combination with the Crate GX412XR cabinet before switching to the Vox AC30.

In this photo, Rob Cantor can be seen using the Matchless Spitfire 15 Amplifier. Judging by the shape of the amp, it is the Small Box model of the Matchless Spitfire 15.

In this photo, Rob Cantor can be seen using a Telefunken ELA M 251 during the recording of the original Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. Based on other photos, the microphone doesn't have the engraved "E" that the Telefunken ELA M 251E model has, proving it is the original ELA M 251.

In this photo, a Shure SM57 can be seen in front of Rob Cantor's Vox AC30CC2.
