Rig Rundown: Gary Clark Jr.

Austin’s hottest son shares why he loves Epiphone Casinos and never thought he was much of an SG guy until the Foo Fighters gave him the ultimate gift.

The second Vibro-King actually came from Pete Townshend’s collection because when Clark Jr. was touring Europe he couldn’t find a Vibro-King combo and Townshend apparently had 10 pairs of custom-made Vibro-King heads and 2x10 extension cabinets. This particular amp-and-cabinet combo was used almost exclusively while recording The Story of Sonny Boy Slim. And while Clark Jr. prefers to use the onboard reverb and tremolo from the Vibro-King, the various stage materials and setups often cause uncontrollable feedback and noise so he’s since opted to use a Strymon Flint.
