Renè van Barneveld's Gear
Urban Dance Squad Played the 1994 edition of Pinkpop. In footage of this concert, guitarist Rene Van Barneveld uses a Fender Telecaster.
This picture of Rene during a studio recording “2 meter sessies” shows him using a pair of black Bedrock BC-75 combo’s. On other occasions like the Pinkpop 25th anniversary concert, Rene is seen playing two Tweed edition BC-75’s with matching 2x12 extension cabinets. Edit: might be a BC-50 (without the vibrato circuit). They had the same enclosure. Without seeing the amp font with pots and (absence of) tremolo circuit, is it impossible to distinguish them.

In a user-uploaded photo from the "2 Meter Sessies" video, Renè van Barneveld is seen using a Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95 wah pedal, positioned on the far right of his pedalboard.
In this 2 meter sessies video you can spot that Rene is using three pedals. One is a Marshall pedal look-a-like that has a white spot in the back.

Both the bluesdriver, the Drivemaster as the shredmaster have the word 'Marshall' in white on the back of the pedal. Listening to other examples (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us_X3JtJMhs / Rene kicks this pedal on @0.29) you get an idea of the sound. For me that is closer to a Drivemaster (aka Guv'nor) then the other examples
*René not use a drivemaster but a shredmaster (white knob).
In this pic of the twee meter sessies you can see Rene using three pedals; one is the Maestro Parametric Filter
(Maestro build three pedals that looked like this; the fuzztain had a different sound compared to the vids / the phaser I don't really hear in the concertvids)
*This is not the right pedal, René use the Maestro stage phaser, see the attached photo of the same live session video.
In this pic you can see Rene and his pedalboard
You can see the Hilton name on the volume pedal

In this pic you can spot Rene with a Supro guitar; it is a 2030 Hampton model with three pickups
In a screenshot from a video of the Urban Dance Squad's live concert at Pinkpop 1994, guitarist René van Barneveld is clearly seen performing with two Bedrock Amplification Bedrock BC-50 2x12 combos, accompanied by two matching 2x12 extension cabinets. The amplifiers were later confirmed to be BC-50 models by the individual who purchased them directly from Renè after he sold them.
In a live session, Renè van Barneveld is seen using the Maestro Stage Phaser, as evidenced by the source image which confirms the use of this specific gear instead of the Maestro Parametric Filter MPF-1.
In the concert video, René van Barneveld is using a Marshall ShredMaster pedal, identifiable by the white knob visible in the photo, distinguishing it from the Drivemaster, which has a red knob.
