- Pedalboard with any combination of new or vintage effects, including those made by: Earthquaker Devices, Visual Sound, Strymon, Spaceman, Rockbox, and Moen.

- Various guitars, including various Kauer models, A heavily modified Walsh Telecaster, a Custom Shop '58 Les Paul, and various vintage Airline/Supro/Silvertone/Danelectro guitars.

- Various Lapsteels, Resonators, Banjos, and an occasional mountain dulcimer.
