Geordies Pedalsteel

In an interview with Guitar.com, Greep shows some of his gear, which I've covered previously. But here's his pedalsteel

via Guitar dot com

He tells the interviewer that it's a custom-made steel from a friend. So I doubt I'll be able to find a brand.

He also says that he uses his 80's brown BOSS-GEB7, found on his pedalboard. Citing that when you boost certain frequencies, it distorts them.

I think the slide is an Ernie Ball Regular Gauge metal slide

pedal steels were used on recordings of Marlene Dietrich, Diamond Stuff, Dethroned, Hellfire, Sugar/Tzu, Eat Men Eat, Still, The Race is About to Begin, The Defense. But they all cite a 'Surfboard Lapsteel' or various. So most likely Geordie got this one after recording.

That's all, a short one but I just don't want all 4 people to think I'm dead.

Geordie Greep @ The Catalyst, Santa Cruz CA 5/5/25

I had the pleasure of being at this show, it was wonderful. And there’s some different gear now.

Friendly Dave kneeling down to make Greep look taller

Pedalboards:

Geordie’s pedalboard is more or less the same than it has been. Although, he replaced his usual Suhr Riot with a Moog MF Drive, a filter-based drive inspired by the Moogerfooger line.

The amp Geordie used was much different from his usual Fender reverb amps, a Limited Edition Vox AC15C1, an anniversary model offered exclusively at Guitar Center, most likely rented from them.

Amp with bongos in background. Notice the missing Les Paul SG, I don’t believe he brought it with him on this tour.

Ethan Marsh’s guitar pedalboard, out of frame being a Dunlop Crybaby Bass Wah and a BOSS OC-3 (unused)

The signal chain of this board goes as follows:

Guitar -> Dunlop DVP4 -> Dunlop Bass Wah -> BOSS SY-1 -> Fulltone Mosfet Full-Drive 2 -> ProCo Rat -> BOSS DD-7 -> MXR Phase 90 -> Amp

The amp Ethan uses is a Fender Blackface Deluxe Reverb on the Vibrato Channel and the guitar is a Gibson ES-335.

Amps (in the back, unused for the show, is a Parker Fly Deluxe)

The bassist, Friendly Dave’s pedalboard.

Dave's pedals, being a bassist, aren't too wild and are mainly just used for some fun effect during loud parts.

The signal chain is,

Bass -> Polytune 3 -> EHX Frequency Analyzer -> Darkglass Microtubes B7k Ultra -> BOSS OC-2 -> Dunlop DVP3 -> Strymon Flint -> Amp

The bass Dave uses is a Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass JJ V and the amp is a Mark Bass CMD 102P

The keys are a Nord Electro 6D and Moog MiniMoog.

MiniMoog goes through Radial Pro D2 Direct Box before going to front desk

That's all of the gear stuff I could take from this concert, percussion I know nothing about. Thank you and goodnight.

Geordie's new guitars

Alongside the announcement of the Greep's last shows of the UK, he posted a photo of his 2 new guitars obtained for this tour. Further showing his love for Gibson and organic colored guitars.

last of the UK (emperorgreep)

The leftmost guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Standard from around the mid-1970's, the finish is either a Tobacco Burst or a Sunburst. You can tell it's not a Gibson reissue from the amount of yellowing of the pickguard and pickup selector cover.

The middle guitar is the black midi classic, the Gibson Les Paul SG, I've talked about this guitar in an earlier post before so I'm not gonna kick an alive horse.

The final, and most arguably coolest guitar, is a Gibson ES-175D from around 1979 with a two-tone sunburst.

A listing for the same model, ignore the pickup selector label being changed, that's not stock. it is stock. (reverb dot com)

Notice the bridge, previous years of the 175 used a wood-based bridge, and for a little while had an inlay in the wood for looks. Also notice the fade of the sunburst goes up to about half way of the tailpiece while other versions of this finish are right up to the edge.

Bonus round

The amp head Geordie is using is a Marshall "Studio Vintage Head", a smaller, lower-watt reissue, or reimagining of the 1959SLP. The cab is a Marshall 1960A 4x12"

The bass amp head is very hard to see but I believe its a Gallien-Krueger 700RB-II in a 2U 19-inch flight rack. The cab is what I think is a Gallien-Krueger NEO112 turned on it's side, so it's tall and not long.

I'm not even gonna try with the drums. It's Premier kit, That's all I got.

I believe that's all, if you have any questions or comments or corrections please let me know, I'm always bored. Thank you! I'm excited to see Greep in may and I hope to be able to make a detailed post about his current pedalboard.

Cam's gear for the BNCR tour in 2024 (twitter)

Well, I'm never gonna figure out the exact model of guitar Cam uses and it's not really something you need to know, they all kind of sound the same.

However, I can find the mic he uses for the guitar. Which is a DPA 4099 Core Guitar microphone, a generally mid-high end microphone.

he uses the clamps with it but also adds some duct tape for securement.

you can see the clamp and the tape all here (flopmidi)

The drum machine he uses is an Elektron Octatrack for like 2 or 3 songs, going into a Lehle Stereo Volume Pedal for volume controls

Also hooked up to the headphone output of the Octatrack are Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro's

Everything's DI into the PA, no amp or pedals for anything.

until next time

Geordie's strings for most likely his LP SG and Les Paul Recording. They are Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Swing .013's or JS113's for short. (guitar dot com)

The strings used for his Reverend Baritone are Ernie Ball 13-72's

In addition to strings, I have also discovered the finish title to Greep's Reverend Baritone.

While it looks very similar to the 'Coffee Burst' being sold currently. It is actually an older finish from ~2015, called 'Violin Brown'. (Thanks, Tim from Reverend for the help)

Geordie's 'The New Sound' Pedalboard

It's basically the same as his black midi board but there's some differences.

Greep using his heavenly powers (pitchfork)

Let's start with the basics, Greep has used the EXH Deluxe Memory Man w/ Hazarai since forever, he obviously is a big fan. He also continues to use the Suhr Riot pedal for distortion.

Geordie adjusting his Memory Man, the Riot is also in view. Keep in mind this is an older board and slightly different than todays board. Also, notice the Vox AC15 in the back. (flopmidi)

In the board above, you can see that he is also using his Keeley Bubbletron from back when he replaced his DOD Gonkulator with it.

The newest edition to Geordie's board is the EarthQuaker Afterneath V2, and the Origin Effects Cali76 (not pictured below)

Memory Man, Perfect Volume, Bubbletron, Afterneath V2 and TU-3 (connected to tuner output of volume pedal) in clear(ish) view with this photo. (Amy)

You can also see the Cali76 in this picture (flopmidi)

To supply power to these pedals, Geordie is using a MXR Iso-Brick with a bunch of duct-tape covering it.

The volume pedal is a Shin's Music Perfect Volume pedal, a slightly-rare passive pedal.

The board from Geordie's MAP Residency, the Cry Baby has gone on and off of his pedalboard. Currently, It is off. (livelaughlavin)

I have made a digital reconstruction of the pedalboard, courtesy of Pedaltrain. The board Geordie is using is the Pedaltrain Metro 24.

Due to the deepcut-ness of the Perfect Volume pedal, It's not of the website, so I just relabeled it.

That, I believe, is all for today, If you have any questions, comments or corrections, please put them in that box at the top of the blog.

I'm only human, I make a lot of mistakes, but I think a majority of this info is correct. I will update this If I get new info.

Geordie Greep's setup for 'The New Sound' tour

For the more Latin-centered music of his new album, Geordie seems to prefer humbucker'ed guitars

Geordie probably doing some crazy thing on guitar (u/fishnut824)

Greep's newest addition to his guitars is a late 70's Gibson Les Paul Recording. The large function of this guitar being that it has more in depth tone controls that really any guitar out there, featuring phase control and a knob labeled 'Decade'

A listing for a Les Paul Recording. (Reverb)

He has also taken his 60's Gibson Les Paul SG, an early version of the SG that had not been branded as SG yet. so they put it under Les Paul's name. Which he did not approve of and forced them to change it. SG meaning Solid-body Guitar.

A Les Paul SG, notice the engraving on the truss rod cover, "Les Paul" (Truetone Music)

I have yet to find a non-blurry or obstructed photo of Geordie's pedalboard for this tour, but in this show, you can clearly see that he still is using his Deluxe Memory Man w/ Hazarai. He's been using this pedal since the earliest black midi shows

If you have any photos of Greep's pedalboard for this tour, please send them my way. Or you'll have to wait for me to get a picture in May.

The blue box with the black strip (markit aneight)

The amp he uses is a Fender Princeton Reverb Amp silverface (not the ToneMaster version)

Mister bongo on the bongos. And also the Princeton Reverb Amp in the bottom right (u/fishnut824)

I believe that's all for today. Please correct me if any of this information is wrong, I'm trying my best.

Matt's Pedalboard - 2018 (Feat. Morgan)

Matt turning his Nemesis Delay on and off repeatedly

A slightly altered version of his pedalboard used throughout the tour of Schlagenheim. Most notably, an RC-30 not seen anywhere else.

The signal chain of Matt's pedals is pretty standard; fuzz first, delay last. Although we cannot see the full pedal board in this video, it's safe to assume that the missing space is occupied by a tuner pedal.

The board goes as follows:

Guitar (Fender Tele Standard) ->

TU-3 ->

Fat Fuzz Factory ->

Holy Grail MAX ->

Nemesis Delay ->

RC-30 ->

Amp (Unknown at the time)

I also constructed a digital recreation of the pedalboard (Courtesy of Pedaltrain dot com)

The board Matt is using is a Pedaltrain Metro 20

In other news, I found the kit that Morgan used for the Flesh and Bones show.

It is a custom 4 Piece White kit from Liberty Drums, with a Pearl White Snare

taken from Morgan's Instagram

black midi @ Flesh and Bone Studios

In black midi's debut on screen (other than personal phone footage), they play their single, 'Talking Heads'. We also get to see that Matt looks like a baby. Well, they all do really. You can watch the video here.

Immediately, you can see that Cam playing his Eastwood Sidejack 32 Bass, It's possible that he had his Rickenbacker 4003 at the time but chose to bring this bass when playing live, seeing that getting a $4000 bass stolen is a lot more devastating.

Both Cameron and Geordie's vocals are recorded with Shure SM7D's

Geordies guitar is his Reverend Descent Baritone. Curiously, It is in a finish not offered by Reverend. Meaning it could be a custom shop (But Reverend doesn't do customs) or it was a limited edition finish that I can't find.

The duct tape on the strap pegs is from a show during of which his guitar would continuously would fall off when adjusting pedals and instead of buying strap locks we just taped it up and it's been up ever since (you can see later in Geordie's career, the type of duct tape actually changes, it most likely wore out from years of jumping around on stage).

Matt's seemingly one and only guitar, his Fender Telecaster Standard is in it's full metallic-red glory in this video (pre-duct tape).

You can also clearly see that the pickup selector switch cap is missing, most likely because they always fall off and it's more of a pain to try to pick it up than just not have it.

I don't really know much about drums but I know that Morgan's very happy and that he's wearing an MF DOOM shirt. It's also probably his Rodgers White Drumkit used for the recording and playing of Schlagenheim
