Thurston Moore – Pedal Line Breakdown

I don’t regret missed shows that much, but in June/2012, I felt like an idiot missing Thurston Moore in my home town, at a tiny venue. That was a missed opportunity to see a great doing what he does best in a intimate setting. I doubt it will happen again, especially in that setting, but you never know.

But recently, a friend posted some photos, which included a shot of his pedal line. Pretty cool! Thank you Kia! She was kind enough to let me use the photos for this particular post. I know there are some pretty serious Sonic Youth fans that read this blog, so here we go. I posted his pedal line while Sonic Youth was going strong, and he’s kept it pretty similar but with a few changes.

Here is a breakdown of pedals for June/2012:

Boss GE-7 Equalizer
Mutron Wah-Volume
Electro-Harmonix Big Muff (Sovtek version)
ProCo Turbo Rat
Fulltone Octafuzz
MXR Phase 90
Boss TU-2 Tuner

I also wanted to post this great photo of his 1960 Black Jazzmaster that was stolen 6 months later in 12/12/2012. A lot of the photos showing the  stolen guitar, had the old pickguard with stickers. As you can see in this photo, this guitar has a ‘fresh’ pickguard. Same stickers on the body, but no stickers on the pickguard. Any one know if this guitar was found??
