Thomas DeLonge

This is the signature guitar of Tom DeLonge, that he uses is both of his current bands, Blink-182 and Angels And Airwaves. It features a single pickup in the bridge position. The pickup is a Gibson Dirty Fingers pickup. It also only features a single speed knob, for the volume of the pickup. You can see him using it in the music video for Down.

A diagram of Thomas DeLonge's live setup from the early Blink-182 days features the Marshall JCM900 4100 100-watt 2-channel Tube Head, as shown on the Tom DeLonge fan site.

In the YouTube video source with VOX ALL ACCES, Thomas DeLonge talks and "rocks" the Vox AC30.

A black Fender Telecaster with what appears to be a mirrored pickguard was used by DeLonge while tracking for the Angels & Airwaves song "The War".

In a video with Tom's Guitar Tech Doug, at 1:20 a Fulltone Fulltone Fulldrive2 MOSFET can be spotted.

45:45 Minutes in the video Tom speaks about this pedal, "I could play the same riffs i used to play but they pan around trans-like, its atmospheric."

At 34:30, he explains that these are the strings he uses. "..it sounded incredible playing with these 10-52 strings..". There are another set of strings on this website, claiming that they are the kind Tom used, but I see no evidence of that anywhere. This is 100 % without a doubt, the kind he used.

Tom used this amp paired with his JCM 900 on just about every album up until the Angels and Airwaves stuff. It was then that he switched over to Voxs and Fenders. In almost all of blink-182's live footage, you can see a triple rectifier and a JCM 900 paired together. It is also seen in thier music video for "Josie".

This a video of Tom Delonge recording vocals for the Blink-182 song "Always" at some point in 2003 for their self-titled album. The microphone can be seen within 3 seconds of the video. There is also footage of Tom Delonge recording the vocals for We Don't Need To Whisper by Angels and Airwaves with this same microphone as well.

Thomas's tech, Doug gives a tour around Blink 182's live rig for this Czech YouTube channel. The MXR EVH-117 Eddie Van Halen Flanger is part of the effects chain. Doug says:

"...when you get that kind of wavering sound, that's coming from that flanger."

At around the 0:34 minute mark, DeLonge is seen playing black Epiphone Sheraton II.

This guitar was made for Tom during the Enema tour for Adam’s Song. It is the prototype of the Fender Sub-Sonic. Its scale is 27”. It has Sperzel locking tuners and a black Seymour Duncan bridge Invader. The color of this guitar is Fender plain orange. Tom also used this guitar to record Obvious. He later sold as part of the Reissue sale
