Trevor de Brauw's Gear
"If you’ve seen Pelican live, you associate either a Marshall JCM800 or JCM900 with Trevor, but by way of a Sunn-Rat tonal discovery, he realized he liked a beefier, thicker tone so he’s been auditioning amps for a bit. Currently, his main squeeze is an Ampeg V4."

"The noisemakers include a ProCo Rat, MXR Micro Amp, EQD Organizer, Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter, EQD Avalanche Run, TC Electronic Nova Delay, Boomergang III Phrase Sampler, and a Strymon Big Sky. His tuning is kept in check with a Boss TU-2 and everything comes alive thanks to a Voodoo Lab MONDO."
"As usual, I played my '72 Gibson SG with Seymour Duncan pickups."
"Trevor de Brauw found his longtime No. 1 guitar in a Chicago pawnshop. He was told it was a ’71 Gibson SG, but after checking several serial-number databases, he wasn’t able to concretely identify its birth year. And just like Dallas, he uses D’Aaddario XL EPS600 Pro Steel .013–.056 strings."

"At the core of it, I always have an Ernie Ball volume pedal so that I can maintain total control over my dynamics."
"Right now I'm using a Marshall JCM-800. It's from the brief period when Marshall was switching production from the JCM-800 to the JCM-900, so although it's basically an 800, it's a two-channel amp, which they only made for a little while. I think the gain is a little bit darker sounding, a bit moodier than either the 900 or the 800."

"Lately I've been using a Deja Vu tap delay."
"Pelican is a very dynamic band that relies on a crucial control of volume to create the ebb and flow of their musical journeys, and that’s why for Trevor, everything starts with a volume pedal. He’s tried them all, but he has found a friend in the Dunlop Volume X because of its wide throw."
