Rig Rundown: Julien Baker

The melancholic, reverb-loving songstress talks about the Tele, Fender combos, and bountiful board she uses to fill theaters around the globe.

While boygenius performs as a trio (occasionally with a backing band), Julien Baker is the sole performer onstage for her set. For looping and amp-switching duties, she employs the Morley George Lynch Tripler, Boss RC-3 Looper, and Morley ABC 3-Button Switcher. The real fun begins with the Electro-Harmonix MEL9, Strymon blueSky, a trio of Walrus Audio pedals—Fathom, Bellwether, and Descent—a ZVEX Fuzz Factory, Emerson Custom Paramount Overdrive, and a pair of Old Blood Noise Endeavors—Excess and Dweller. And her guitar is kept in check thanks to the TC Electronic PolyTune 2 Mini.
