0:31 "It's a John Suhr guitar. It's actually a loaner. I ended up really liking it, I don't know why exactly. It kinda makes me wanna play it. It sits there and it makes me wanna go over and pick it up, grab it and play it. When I feel that way about a guitar: it's significant to me."

20:05 "You know, it's funny. This guitars, they used to be sold cheap (and easy to get) especially THIS is like a 73 (made in 1973). For a long time nobody would even touch them, and now it's a vintage instrument, and all of the sudden: it's old enough to be valuable."

According to the gear list found along with Premier Guitar's interview with Wayne Krantz, he uses the Moog MF-102 ring modulator.

GP: I noticed that you’ve taped up part of your Tyler guitar’s headstock.......... WK: I’m into graphics. I care about that and James Tyler has a design there that I just didn’t like. He’s cool with it. In fact, he’s making me a guitar and he’s actually going to build it with that black stripping.

In a Premier Guitar Rig Rundown interview, Wayne Krantz praises the Vertex Boost pedal, stating, "This one is by far the best one I've ever heard. It's super—it doesn't change anything, it just makes it louder. It's great."

"It has a tremendous amount of low end, which is maybe why it is less harsh (than other fuzz pedals.) I'm digging it."

"I'm using it instead of the Moog ring modulator that I usually use, because it has more variety in it. Really cool pedal."

Krantz picked up the Marshall on eBay years ago, and the two have had a warm working relationship ever since.

" The Freeze is kind of a different, newer thing, in that it seamlessly allows you to sustain. It is almost like a keyboard pad. I find it very useful. "

In a Premier Guitar Rig Rundown video, Wayne Krantz praises the Neunaber Wet Mono Reverb Pedal, describing it as "beautiful" and "pretty musical sounding," indicating his use and appreciation of the pedal in his setup.

Krantz used this amp during the "Two Drink Minimum" and "Greenwich Mean" era.

According to the GP interview posted above:

"The beginning of my sound was in 1993, when I got rid of a bunch of amps and just plugged a Strat directly into a Fender Deluxe turned all the way up. That sounded terrible for a year or so, but the good thing is that I had to figure out how to make such a thin tone sound good just by using my hands rather than relying on an amp."
