Taylor Johnson

I use my Gretsch a lot. It’s a small guy, country classic junior.

You can see that Taylor Johnson plays two AC-30's in this video

Right now I use a mid 90s Matchless SC30 that I will never part with. It’s such a great amp and impresses me all the time.

At 0:20 you can see Taylor's pedalboard which houses a Electro-Harmonix Micro POG.

From there it goes into some mod which is always a Boss VB2 and then into this stereo chorus flange I have by TC Electronics. Then into a Diamond Tremolo and into the Strymon El Cap and Timeline then into a Boss RV5.

For sure. For live stuff I love the RC booster and I always have the Strymon El Capistan and Boss VB2 with me. Other than that it’s pretty standard stuff (drive, trem, chorus,delay, verb, etc…)

In this Instagram photo, the RC Booster can be seen in his pedalboard. In his interview with Tim Nienhus, he mentions this pedal as the absolute essential in his live board.

UAD Neve 1073 is rad, Valhalla Vintage Verb, Waves SSL G Channel is cool too. All the Sound Toys stuff is ridiculous.

I never wanted to say I couldn't so I went out and bought some pro gear and started hacking away! I owned a lot at first and now it’s come down to a few channels of good preamps and conversion with a 57 on the cone and there’s the secret that every engineer in the industry goes to. SM57 into on the cone into a nice pre. Play a good part with good tone and feel and you’re there.
