"Our main acoustic guitar was a Martin DC-16GTE. Its a guitar that can cover everything."

Robert used a Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster throughout Manchester Orchestra's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in November 2017. The guitar can clearly be identified by its color, fingerboard inlays and binding at 0:53 in the video, as well as other points throughout.

The Orange OR50 is used in this live performance picture of Robert.

Robert's live setup is listed here including the Vox AC30.

Fender Deluxe Reverb at 2:00

The only amp that's hot (normally) is the Vox AC30C2 that also powers the Janus 2x12 cab it's sitting on

Two Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb pedals were used at once to get the cathedral-like sounds that ramp up to the crescendo of “The Mansion,” and that song’s secret weapon was a Walrus Audio Janus—a tremolo/fuzz that McDowell describes as “completely blown-out and insane sounding. It entirely changes your tone. There are two joysticks to control the fuzz and tremolo separately, and I was down on the floor playing with those as I recorded.”

Everything is kept in line with the Boss TU-3

"We had a DI signal, a Neumann u89 and one of our tube or ribbon mics on it at all times."
