St. Vincent

"I use – actually I think it’s a pretty cheap pedal – a Z.Vex Mastotron, and it’s like if the Fuzz Factory had girth." - St. Vincent in this interview with The Lab Magazine.

"There really wasn’t any live playing in terms of being a band recording in a room together. I stuck with a pretty consistent guitar tone compared to the other records. I played a ’67 Harmony Bobkat through a Death by Audio Interstellar Overdriver Supreme pedal, usually straight into a late-’70s Fender Princeton— not lots of pedals, more driving the amp pretty hard".

Michael Ross of GuitarPlayer.com asks St. Vincent how she achieved a "clean tone on 'Chloe' and the title song has an evocative, distant, almost underwater sound." St. Vincent responds with "I think that is the Electro-Harmonix Cathedral Reverb pedal."

This picture from Annie's performance at Coachella 2015 shows her using the Lead II. Originally a Fender Lead II Circa 1980. It has a lots of changes: 2 EMG pickups, refinished green, added Roland synth pickup with pin output as well as regular output. Neck has considerable wear but she plays and sounds great.

"I got so tired of missing cues, trying to push pedals at the right time. The sounds were often not exactly right, or properly balanced, with good gain staging. So I have an RJM Mastermind that controls the RJM MIDI Effects Gizmo [loop switching station] and handles all my pedals. Two of them are MIDI-capable Eventide pedals, and the Mastermind also controls their parameters. My keyboard player controls the whole pedalboard remotely, through MIDI. That way I no longer have to click pedals left and right and pray that the gain staging is correct. This helps me play complicated guitar parts, sing, and be invested in the performance— it allows me to be a performer instead of a pedal tweaker and a shoe gazer."

"...the Bobkat and Silvertone have this amazing vibrato bar that’s super sensitive—you can dive bomb on it and it will stay in tune," says St. Vincent in this Premier Guitar article.

"The only other guitar I play on stage is a 1980 Hagström Swede. It’s like a Les Paul but it’s lighter and Swedish. That’s the only difference that I know of. It has two humbuckers." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jv4lgFrL7U)

also listed in Premier Guitar magazine, Oct 2011, in the article "St Vincent: All Star Dropout".

Annie used this guitar extensively during the Actor era. Here she is shown playing this during the Marrow Cemetery Gates performance.

"I was playing this guitar that [producer] John Congleton had, the Thurston Moore edition of the Fender Jazzmaster. It’s super chopped—just a volume knob. You either like the way it sounds when you play it, or you don’t. I really like that on/off kind of thing. You don’t mess around with a million permutations. So I was using that a lot on the record, but I don’t play it live," says St. Vincent, in this interview.

"I lost count exactly, but i think it's around 20! love those old harmony bobkats, but have also been playing a black musicman this tour...and a 55 guild aristocrat" - St. Vincent in this reddit thread & from this article directly from Guild's official site.

"It wasn’t a matter of let’s try this mic and mic pre and compressor. She hates that; it would drive her crazy. So for most of the songs I simply put a Lomo 19A13 mic in front of her, which is a mic she likes a lot. For the more rocking songs we used a Shure SM7"

St. Vincent says in this Guitar World interview "I’m using a Kemper modeling amplifier for live work. Originally I was bringing out vintage ’66 Kalamazoo kind of small amps—the kind of little guy that you could ram a lot of signal through and get a nice breakup and saturation and all of that. But I just stopped."

St. Vincent has been seen using a Fender Telecaster Nashville Deluxe from her "Marry Me" era to the present, as shown in a user-uploaded photo on Flickr.

For a GuitarPlayer interview Annie Clark stated that she used the Sitori Sonics Tapeworm for Northern Lights solo:

"On the “Northern Lights” solo I used a Sitori Sonics Tapeworm pedal. It is a delay pedal with two synth oscillators built in to it. I use it a lot live during the more chaotic bits."
