Recently had the opportunity to ask Jon Graboff, pedal steel player w/ Ryan Adams about their rigs and thought y'all might like to read what he had to say:

"Ryan's pedal board is not terribly complicated. Most recently, he's been using the Electro-Harmonix "holy grail" reverb pedal which he manipulates quite a bit while playing (using his toe on the control knob). Also uses the reverb in his Fender amps as well; an original black face Princeton Reverb and a re-issue '65 Deluxe Reverb. His overdrive pedal was a zvex "superduper", but lately he's swapped it out for a Fulltone 'Fat Boost" pedal. He also has a zvex wah pedal called a "wah probe" which he uses infrequently. Other than that, he has a couple of Boss TU-2 tuners, one for the electric and one for the acoustic. I think he may have some sort of delay pedal but he doesn't use it too much and he's been trying a bunch of different ones so it's hard to keep track of them. That's about it.

I use just one thing for the pedal steel and that is the Electro-Harmonix "holy grail" reverb pedal. I have it clipped to one of the legs of the pedal steel so I can change the setting easily. I use the "hall" position on it and it in conjunction with the spring reverb in my Fender amp."

Burchill's first echo unit was an old Echoplex. He still has it at home somewhere as part of a collection of Yamaha and Korg boxes picked up and then discarded over the last 10 years. Nowadays he favours a tc2290 and an Eventide Harmoniser.

'On those albums like 'New Gold Dream' and 'Sparkle In The Rain' I was using mostly Roland gear. Especially a Roland 501 chorus echo unit through a JC120 without much distortion on the amp. In retrospect I think it sounds terrible but people really like it. Nowadays I play through a Marshall which is something I swore I'd never do. But I've tried just about everything else there is and nothing beats the JCM 900.'

At The Royal Albert Hall Concerts, Eric used:

Black Fender Strat with noiseless pickups and a maple neck (another black Strat with Lace Sensor pickups).

Jim Dunlop strap locks.

Fender '57 tweed Twin amp, in a stack, with a spare on top (only used on “Sunshine Of Your Love”) and a Leslie speaker.

The Leslie had a separate preamp, used to balance out tone and volumes with the amp when used together.

He also had a Dunlop wah-wah pedal in line.

His wireless system was the Samson Synth 6 system, with packs powered by 2 AA batteries. This ran to the input of his foot-switching unit through a Zaola cable from the cannon out on the Samson.

His guitar straps were by Ernie Ball, as were his picks and his strings (''Slinkys'' 10 13 17 26 36 46 gauges).

Guitar stands by Tama.

This information was graciously provided by Eric's guitar technician Lee Dickson.

At The Royal Albert Hall Concerts, Jack used:

A fretted Gibson EB-0 bass
A fretless Warwick Thumb bass

Both basses were strung with S.I.T. Nickel Rock Brites - RB50105L. He was using two identical Hartke rigs, one for the Gibson (passive/lots of high end graphics added) and one for the Warwick (active/lots of boosted mid graphics)

Hartke provided:
Two VX810 cabs powered by two HA-5500 amps and two 115XL cabs powered by two HA-3500 amps, taking their input from the "Send" of the 5500's to the "Return" of the 3500's.

We also had one of each of the above as spares (which we didn't need to use, unusual for Jack(!)).

The radio systems were provided by Samson. They were two Synth-5 systems plus four transmitter packs. One signal booster with two aerials. Basically, one set-up for each bass (Gibson and Warwick) plus two packs for the spare basses**

**Warwick fretted and a Warwick fretless, both Thumb basses, both "Jack Bruce Signature" models....Just in case!!

The signal went from the receivers (combined output), to a Boss TU-2 tuner/mute, then into a Boss A/B switcher and then into the respective amps, (the outer most amp, stage right/Gibson, had a Boss NS-1 noise suppressor pedal inline). The inner most rig (Warwick) had a Mike Hill "B.I.S. Box", just before the amp input.

Jack used Hohner "Marine Band" harmonicas (in the key of "C", for this set list), with a Shure beta 58 microphone, either in his hands (vocal mic) or using a separate microphone with stand and clamp.

This information was graciously provided by Jack's guitar technician Baron Beetmoll Troy.

know that the guy uses Fender DeVille amps. He also uses a Fender strat, an ibanez destroyer. On pedals he says " I have two boss delay units, a boss equaliser, a tuner pedal and one of those orange phaser units", he also says he used to use a big muff pedal but it just stopped working at a gig in front of 1200 people, so he doesnt use it anymore.
