Rig Rundown: The Breeders

For nearly 30 years, these alt-rock pioneers have created gristly tones full of attitude and angst. Find out how guitarist Kelley Deal and bassist Josephine Wiggs craft their signature tones.

Kelley Deal runs a second pedalboard for her vocals. It includes a Radial Voco-loco, a Boss RV-3 Digital Delay/Reverb, an Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano and an EarthQuaker Devices Ghost Echo. A Truetone 1 Spot supplies the juice.
