Members mirrorball Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 Anyone got good info/pics on Nick Zinner's pedalboards and amps? Saw Yeah Yeah Yeahs the other night in DC (an OK show, plagued with sound/technical problems, though some of the local reviewers didn't seem to notice because they were enthralled with Karen O, who I admit is a great frontwoman) and would love to get some info. From a distance (I was in the balcony), looked like he was using a couple of Fender amps, and several pedals. Some were placed in front of the amps and a couple (that I couldn't see because of his monitor) were by his mic stand. Sure required a lot of tap dancing on his part. Delay and looper were obvious by the mic stand, but other than that, hard to tell what's down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fakeplastic Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 Custom fuzz, digitech hyperphase, line 6 dl-4, boss rc-20, and a zoom drum machine. I know there are more, but I cannot remember them. I believe he has a rat2 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an online article that someone on guitargeek.com linked to with a detailed description of his rig. That was all the equipment that I could recall, but I think there were one or two other pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CicadaSilence Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 http://www.viceland.com/issues/v12n11/htdocs/tech.php There you go. He also uses a Japanese Strat, and a First Act guitar, seen here: http://www.firstact.com/studio/guitar-details.asp?guitar_id=1 Don't know about amps, but I remember reading somewhere that he had to use Fender Twins on tour in Europe, and that he hated them.

I should have guessed. There were a couple of odd effects I heard that were probably the POG. Interesting he uses the DL-4 for Maps. Though not surprising. But in the video it looks like he's using a Boss DD-3 or DD-5's hold function. Definitely at least two Fender amp on stage. One looked like a Hot Rod DeVille/Deluxe. The other may have been a Twin, but it was hard to tell from where I was standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hugbot Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 I have the same drum machine as him, I tryed running it through a distortion to get a similar sound as he uses on some songs.http://www.yourlost.com/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
