Wayne Static's Gear
Wayne Static used the Epiphone Flying V Wayne Static Signature guitar since his first album with Static-X, as shown in the source image.
Wayne Static utilized the Marshall MG100HDFX guitar amplifier head to achieve his signature distortion sound. He owned two units, with one serving as a backup, as seen in a user-uploaded photo from Guitar.
This was a live concert that toke place in Spokane, Washington during the Cannibal Killers tour. At 0:11 you can see a clear shot of his guitar.
It is seen here, Wayne is using it during a show in Indiana.
Wayne used Gibsons during the early years of Static-X due to KISS being a big inspiration to him at the time, and what appears to be a Gibson Flying V in tobacco sunburst is seen being used throughout this video. He traded a Dean guitar for it, to the Hollywood guitar center, in the early 90’s and used it to write Static-X’s first album “Wisconsin Deathtrip”. It was later sold on eBay...
In a stage equipment diagram, Wayne Static highlights the use of his Marshall 1960A 4x12" 300-Watt Angled Extension Cabinet, stating, "Solid state amps ARE the Static X sound - tight, crunchy and mean. Plus, if one goes down, I can walk into almost any music store and pull one off the shelf and get back to rocking." This underscores the cabinet's role in achieving his signature sound.
In a user-uploaded photo of Wayne Static's on-stage equipment, a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor pedal is visible among his effects pedals.
As far as my keyboard of choice, this entire record was down with a Korg Electribe MX. It's a tiny little box, the size of a laptop computer. It's got a little sort of keyboard thing on it. It's more of a sequencer. But it's got a 12AX7 preamp tube in it and you can control the tube saturation. It's got all these different effects. It's a really cool little box.

"After that, I actually bought a sampler, an Akai MPC-2000. I've been using that ever since. I put all the songs together on that and sample the keyboard lines. I can make demos on it, sample guitar riffs and things like that. So that's my main tool for putting songs together, and it's pretty old school technology! It's very intuitive for me and I don't have to think about it. People are always like, Why don't you upgrade in ProTools? I'm like, I don't know. I'm trying to make a record here. When I'm writing songs, I'm just trying to get my ideas down as fast as I can without having technology get in the way."
