Rig Rundown: Dawes

Grimy Fenders, posh Gretsches, and handmade Gibson knockoffs meet streamlined pedalboards and vintage amps for this L.A. folk-rock outfit featuring Duane Betts on lead guitar.

Taylor Goldsmith’s classic craftsman-style pedalboard was built by his bandmate Wylie Gelber. Gelber’s proprietary design utilizes U.S. quarters slid between rails as a means of attaching and aligning pedals. The signal flow starts with a Boss TU-3 tuner, which sends the signal to a Custom WG Boost, JHS Crayon, Boss VB-2, an Old Blood Noise Procession Reverb, Strymon El Capistan dTape Echo with a Strymon Tap Favorite pedal, JHS Unicorn Uni-Vibe, and a Fulltone Supa-Trem. A Voodoo Lab Mondo supplies the juice.
