Torres

“I usually play with a more elaborate rig, but for SXSW I only brought a few pedals and carried them around in my backpack all week. I wanted to keep setup time to a minimum and reduce the weight of my gear as much as possible, as I'm usually carrying it all on my back from venue to venue during SXSW.” - Torres about her pedalboard.

"I love the Jazzmaster. It’s a lot lighter than the 335. I love the neck on it. I like the range. And it gives me more room to get a little violent with it. My 335 has to be handled with care, but I just rip on the Jazzmaster. There have been times when I played it, finished a song, and then took it off and threw it on the ground."

An interview with Premier Guitar states: Her right-hand approach is unorthodox: classical-style fingerpicking on an electric, usually a beautiful black Gibson ES-335 or an abused Fender Jazzmaster

The pedal is mentioned in her pedalboard in 2017 Reverb write-up. 2021 Premier Guitar rig rundown also mentions the pedal in her pedalboard.

"Transparent" is a guitardom buzzword. It's often used in marketing speak for the next-best pedal offering organic, free-range, USDA-approved tone. /.../ Nothing Scott has selected for her stomp station can be described as subtle or translucent. Even her delays and reverbs accentuate weird, supernatural flavor crystals. The filth and fury comes in the potent pairing of a Joyo Vintage Overdrive and EarthQuaker Devices Palisades.

Torres plays a telecaster throughout the whole video about her signal chain. According to 2021 Premier Guitar rig rundown, this guitar serves as a backup, and is referred to as "Telecaster Custom", even though it is a partscaster.

This T has a Fender Tele Custom makeup, but it's actually a parts guitar. (The dead giveaway being its naked headstock.) If all goes well with the Thinline, this yellow bird stays caged on the sidelines.

"That’s mainly the Earthquaker Devices Organizer pedal. For the live solo version I chose to play it as it was originally written, before I added the effect."

According to Premier Guitar's SXSW gear report, Torres uses Death by Audio Echo Dream 2 pedal. The pedal was mentioned in 2021 Premier Guitar rig rundown:

Next is the Death By Audio Echo Dream 2 that brings in modulation, delay, and boost/fuzz. She claims this is her "most-utilized" pedal. She really likes how the echo and fuzz circuits interact with the Joyo.

According to Premier Guitar's interview, Torres uses Fulltone Fulldrive2 MOSFET pedal.

The pedal was mentioned in 2017 Reverb writeup. The pedal is also mentioned in 2021 Premier Guitar rig rundown.

The EQD Afterneath brings in ambient, deep, spelunking reverbs. Beefing up the Afterneath and filling it out with faux synth vibes is the Electro-Harmonix POG2. Another favorite application for the POG2 is pulling its attack all the way down and dramatically gliding into the notes.

Earthquaker Afterneath is mentioned in 2017 Reverb writeup. Premier Guitar 2021 rig rundown mentions that Torres uses the Afterneath for "ambient, deep, spelunking reverbs".

"She enhances it via her collection of mostly boutique pedals and a cranked Fender Blues Junior."

According to Premier Guitar's interview, Torres uses vintage Silvertone 1435.

According to Premier Guitar's interview, Torres uses Line 6 DL4 delay pedal.

in the video torres shows her pedalboard and explains how she achieves her sound

The Fender Deluxe Reverb-Amp can be seen at 1:26. The amp is also mentioned in 2021 Premier Guitar rig rundown:

Scott has plugged into Blues Juniors and Twin Reverbs, but she feels the sweet spot for her live sound and volume considerations is the Fender Deluxe Reverb. The reissue is completely stock, including its Jensen C-12K speaker with a ceramic magnet.

When Torres first hit PG's radar back in 2015, she was predominately raging onstage with a new-ish stock Fender Jazzmaster. She's still in the Fender family, but she remembers 2016 as the year she first flirted with the Telecaster, and she hasn't since looked back. Her current main squeeze is this Fender American Vintage '72 Telecaster Thinline. "I'm in every way obsessed with this guitar," gushes Scott in a recent Big 5 video with PG. Some of the reasons she hasn't strayed too far from this particular T is its comfy neck profile, lightweight body, and rounder, more aggressive pickups than her aforementioned Jazzmaster or the ES-335 that was a collective Christmas gift from her family. She typically plays on Ernie Ball Power Slinkys (.011 –.048), but this run she opted for Regular Slinky .010s. However, that experiment appears to be fleeting as she mentions in the Rundown that she's been breaking a lot more strings with the lighter gauge. And most of the set is in standard tuning, but there is a rare moment or two she'll go down to drop D.

"Transparent" is a guitardom buzzword. It's often used in marketing speak for the next-best pedal offering organic, free-range, USDA-approved tone. (Okay, that's a bit of a stretch, but you get the point.) Nothing Scott has selected for her stomp station can be described as subtle or translucent. Even her delays and reverbs accentuate weird, supernatural flavor crystals. The filth and fury comes in the potent pairing of a Joyo Vintage Overdrive and EarthQuaker Devices Palisades.

In a Premier Guitar Rig Rundown with Chris Kies, Torres uses the Empress Superdelay Digital Delay Pedal to achieve complex, time-bending effects, incorporating modulation, reverse delay, compression, and the vintage grit of old tape echoes.

The last pedal is a Meris Enzo that is equal parts inspiring and frustrating. The multi-voice synthesizer reacts differently to each note played by Torres. "I have a hard time getting it under control and taming the beast, but that's what I love about it."
