I saw Dinosaur Jr last week on sunday (May 28th 2006)... I had the opportunity to see everything on stage when at least nobody was in the hall - saw the Bradshaw switcher, all three full stacks, etc... I even had the opportunity to speak to Js guitar tech, who to me seems to be one of the nicest and kindest persons ever met in this business... - sort of "anti-Josh Homme-ish", if he had the time he would have told me at least EVERYTHING about Js rig and his tricks...
So the rig itself basically has been the same as THAT
but with a small change - there would have been a third fullstack, again two standard 1960 Marshall cabs with a very suspicious head that´s been covered in black tolex and had a Fender tweedish looking panel - this amp is a 100 watt Tweed Twin cicuit in a head, custom made by the Victoria amp corp. - his regular 80 watt 212 Tweed Twin wasn´t loud enough...
On his rack there was an additional (according to the roadie "crappy but loud") Silverface Twin Reverb used as monitor if J wouldn´t stand in fron of the cabs...
He used two Jazzmasters - his black glittering with the gold anodized pickguard and the gold tune-o-matic bridge and his purple glittering refinished main Jazzmaster (the one with the stickers on the red tortoise shell pickguard) with the black p´up covers...
His pedalboard consisted of:
a very sturdy looking router for the guitars
his grey Crybaby looking wahwah (don´t remeber what brand those are)
a Boss tuner set to bypass
his standard Bradshaw switcher (like this one
the looped effects listed on the switcher are:
a Big Muff (only ONE!!!)
an MXR blue box
a Super Vibe
an EHX Electric Mistress
a Tremolo
a Boss Reverb
his rackmounted Line6 Echo Pro,
so he definitely stripped down his effects use... he used quite often the Flanger, the Tremolo and the Supervibe, I heard several Delay settings and never the Blue Box (at least at this gig)... I heard at least 3 different Marshall JMP presets - one fendery sounding twangy, one semi clean and a crunchy one...
