Rig Rundown: Kurt Vile & The Violators

The Philly-based group explains how they use vintage Fender gear, classic tube amps, and a few homemade pedals to produce their brand of psychedelic folk-rock.

When it’s tap-dancing time, you’ll find Vile parked behind this impressive board that is home to a pair of Boss Tuners—a TU-3 and a TU-2—a Jim Dunlop Cry Baby wah, a ZVEX Box of Rock, a Maxon OD808, an old Sovtek Big Muff (rehoused by Jesse), a Moog Moogerfooger MF-103, a Line 6 MF4 Filter Modeler, a Line 6 DL4 Delay, an Ibanez CS9 Stereo Chorus, a MXR Carbon Copy, a Big Tone Music Brewery Maggie Vibrato, a Boss RC-30 Loop Station, and a Voodoo Lab Amp Selector. Everything is juiced up thanks to the Eventide PowerFactor 2.
