Does anyone know exactly what Mr.Frusciante uses?... I know Ive asked this sooo many times before, but no one has been able to give me a detailed list of all his gear, I would also realy, realy like to see atleast ONE CLEAR picture of his entire rig, the ones Ive seen are all blurry and you can hardly see anything, I just realy admire him, and hes my alltime favourite guitarist...him and frank zappa, omar rodriguez lopez and recently matt bellamy, but John was always my number one favourite, and i realy, realy, realy want to know exactly what he uses!!!

what he's using today is not exactly what he was using six months ago, and that is not exactly what he was using one year before that. or a year before that.

 

 

which means bucky nailed it above.

Stadium Arcadium is ridiculously good.

 

 

The guitar work and mixing is amazing. Theres multi-layered solo's that like zoom around your head.

 

 

I liked him when he was a minimalist, now hes goin' all out and it's awesome

Why does he need three Moog Low Pass Filters? Ah, what the hell, when you have {censored}loads of money, why not blow it on gear. Better than blowing it on smack.

Low Pass and Phaser maybe with the colored lights and stuff?

lets see what i can name off the top of my head.

 

For amps he uses a marshall silver jubilee head for dirt and a marshall major head (200 watts) for cleans. He uses marshall 4x12 cabs of some sort.

 

For pedals he uses a fuzz factory, big muff pi, a discontinued ibanez WH10 wah, line 6 DL4 delay modeller, line 6 FM4 filter modeller, various moog pedals, EH electric mistress, ect

 

For guitars he won't use anything new so he plays all vintage. his famous strat is a '62 fender, but he also has a '55 with a maple neck. His telecaster is from the 60's but im not sure what year. he has a '55 gretsch white falcon.

That Ibanez WH10 wah is a gem. Best sounding wah I've tried. I use a Crybaby (barely) on the road but I always pulled this thing out when I recorded with a wah.

 

Anyone know what he uses for power?

apparently he uses batteries in every pedal, and once they drop below 9.1v out they go ...

He also uses a Silver Fender Showman for his cleans as well... at least he did back in 2001.

 

John has always reminded me of Hendrix... but more if Hendrix was a 300lb Heavyweight boxer... not as fast... not as technical... but methodical... powerful... and packing some killer "hooks"
