Teppei Teranishi's Gear
As seen on his pedalboard from this interview, albeit it's a DLX model; not a standard one.
In a MusicRadar article by Michael Astley-Brown, Teppei Teranishi of Thrice describes his use of the Saturnworks Volume Pedal - Deluxe. He explains that while Dustin runs his amp halfway, Teppei opts to run his amp super-hot, utilizing the volume pedal to clean up his tone when needed. This approach leverages the Vox amp's sensitivity to signal changes, allowing for dynamic control during performances.
In the YouTube video "Songs at the Shop: Episode 11 - Thrice" by Walrus Audio, Teppei Teranishi is seen using the Walrus Audio 385 overdrive pedal.

In an Instagram story, Teppei Teranishi showcases the Cusack Music Screamer Overdrive v2, highlighting its role in his guitar setup.
Teppei Teranishi on recording TBEITBN: "One amp in particular that I really liked was a Watkins Scout; I had never really heard of it before. It's this tiny amp, I think it's maybe 10 amps, but it sounded really cool and the way it broke up was really sweet, and it has a nice kind of tube compression."
“That’s just a basic tremolo, so actually I’m not using it at all on this tour. There’s just a couple of songs where I would use it on, Come All You Weary being one of them.”
Fender Jaguar Baritone Teppei: “That’s all stock, except for the bridge pickup, which is a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound for Jaguar. I needed something higher output, and that seemed to make sense.
“The guitar doesn’t sound good per se; it’s just a really nasty-sounding guitar, but that’s why I like it, so I tend to just play the bridge pickup and that’s it. It’s an interesting juxtaposition between having a [low] B and a deeper tuning, but then it’s a really bright and kinda harsh tone.
“That guitar, just the way it sounds, has really informed a lot of the riffs I’ve written with the baritone. I don’t think I would have written the Yellow Belly riff if I wasn’t messing around on that guitar.”

If I really want a boost, I’ll use a distortion pedal but very minimal on this as well. I’ve got a Tubescreamer clone that I built from General Guitar Gadgets that I really like. That’s it.

“That one is controlling the Descent. That’s just if I want more tail on the reverb.”

Teppei Teranishi uses a Custom / DIY Double-cut Guitar #1. In an Instagram post, Teppei explains, "I randomly decided to try and make a guitar. I dove headfirst and ended up making the whole thing from scratch, including winding the pickups."
This was his first completely custom, self-built guitar. In a more recent post (https://www.instagram.com/p/CxpEm5drIFE/), Teppei mentions having replaced the neck to change the scale from 25" to 26".
In an Instagram post, Teppei Teranishi details the construction of his Custom / DIY Double-cut Guitar #2, including features such as a Sapele body, 25” inch scale Sapele neck, and Indian Rosewood fretboard. He mentions, "I tried to make this build super minimal and clean with no visible screws and minimal hardware."
Teppei Teranishi confirms in an Instagram post that he uses a Custom / DIY Multiscale Baritone Guitar. In his caption, he states: "Guitar No. 3 is in the books! Multi-scale baritone. Multi-scale guitars are usually miles away from my personal taste but the ergonomics and particularly the string tension make a lot of sense to me. I was curious so I figured why not. Surprisingly intuitive and natural to play. I tried to make it look as non-multi-scale-y as possible. Tried some new things that maybe I can cover in some future posts. It’s been a journey with some steep learning curves (as always) and some ups and downs, but overall, pretty stoked on how it came out. Already scheming the next build…"
In an Instagram post, Teppei Teranishi details the build of his Custom / DIY Double-cut Guitar, mentioning specific features such as a 26” neck, Honduran Mahogany body with Richlite fretboard, and Hemi-spherical fret ends. Teranishi states, "Honestly, not the smoothest build but I tried some new things and am learning tons every time. Probably the best playing neck I’ve made besides my struggles."
