Rubin Pollock

Photo taken at a soundcheck in Florida. Rubin Pollock is seated in front of his pedalboard where you can see the Line 6 DL4 Delay in front of him. The green iconic shaped pedal can't be the mk2 as this photo was posted years before it came out.

Photo taken at a soundcheck in Florida. Rubin Pollock is seated in front of his pedalboard where you can see this pedal at his bottom left. It looks orange in this photo, but I believe it's because there is a filter. But looking at the knobs and sliders, they line up exactly with what the POG2 Polyphonic Octave Generator has on it's interface along with a similar input jack.

Photo taken at a soundcheck in Florida. Rubin Pollock is seated in front of his pedalboard where it appears he has a Line 6 Echo Park. It is to the left of the Line 6 DL4 Delay. Two input jacks on the side, big grey wonky pedal, little black knobs. Also would make sense if this reverb pedal followed his delay pedal in this chain. The image has a filter that makes it difficult to make out if there is a green face plate, but I am pretty sure this is the right pedal.

Photo taken at a soundcheck in Florida. Rubin Pollock is seated in front of his pedalboard where you can see the pedal closest to the bottom right corner of the photo. Black rectangle, words blocked by cable. By the two large black knobs at the top, with three spaced out, unaligned switches make me believe this is a Fulltone Supa-Trem ST-1. Can't be the ST-2 since it is not a square.

Photo taken at a soundcheck in Florida. Rubin Pollock is seated in front of his pedalboard where you can see this pedal sitting closest to him at the bottom right of his board. The three knobs, switch, make me believe this is the right pedal. Why would I think it is the AD999 over the AD900? Even though we don't have a close up photo of the pedal, there is know white font at the very top of the pedal. Now why isn't it the pro? There is no font, where it would say pro under the "Analog Delay"

Photo taken at a soundcheck in Florida. Rubin Pollock is seated in front of his pedalboard. This photo has a filter, so the color is off, but the focus on what appears to be a "green" boss pedal that sits above a greener boss pedal. The photo blurs, but I can make out a T for what is presume is Tremolo. Besides that the jack, and knobs align with what the TR-2 has.

Photo taken at a soundcheck in Florida. Rubin Pollock is seated in front of his pedalboard where you can see the EHX Holy Grail Nano sitting in front of him (by his shoe). Grey pedal, one black knob with a small switch beside it. Black background with what appears to be a light blue single line of font about the footswitch with text beneath that. One input jack. Can't think of anything else it could be besides the EHX Holy Grail.

Rubin uploaded this photo on his Instagram and you can see this pedal in the foreground facing the other way, but giving away the name "ampeg"

Rubin uploaded this photo on his Instagram. In the foreground this pedal sits between the polytune and ampeg pedals. It has an input and output jack out of the top, two knobs, one footswitch, grey faceplate on the dark pedal. Above the left knob appears to be the oval where it would say Vox if the photo was closer. The linked Vox V828 pedal has another photo that shows an image of the pedal this represents.

Rubin uploaded this photo to his Instagram on April 28th, 2018 from a sound check down in Florida. Rubin is seated in front of his pedal board playing his Danelectro Pro 1 guitar.

Rubin Pollock uses a 1967 Gibson ES-345 Electric Guitar as his main instrument with Kaleo, which he purchased from Carter Vintage Guitars in Nashville, TN. According to an interview with Chris Kies from Premier Guitar, he appreciates the guitar's out-of-phase sounds when both pickups are engaged, although he seldom utilizes the Varitone system typical of many 1960s Gibson ES-345 models.

This Rig Rundown mentions that Rubin Pollock also uses a Kustom K200C (mistakenly referred to in the article as a Kustom K200). He purchased it from a guitar shop in New York City without even trying it, and mentions that it sounds darker than his Gibson ES-345 (his main live guitar) so he uses a wah pedal to brighten the sound. He also notes that he hasn't ever changed its strings, a trend which appears on the vast majority of his live guitars.

At 21:21, Rubin is seen with a Dunlop Volume pedal as part of Rubin's pedalboard.
