I’m so excited to talk about Reeves Gabrels Pedalboard Breakdown! I’ve been a fan of Reeves Gabrels for some time now, but definitely been more interested in what’s he’s been involved in since he recently signed on with the Cure last year. Reeves played guitar with David Bowie for years in the 1990s (where I first heard of him). I’ve been a Bowie fan for years as well as a major Cure fan for years. Following Reeve’s Facebook page, he announced he was building a new board and I thought it would be cool to break it down, he definitely has some great pedals on that pedalboard!
Ernie Ball Jr. Volume
Line 6 DL4 Delay
Boss Dimension C Chorus
Timmy Overdrive (not 100% sure)
Bearfoot Model H 4K
Bearfoot Honey Beast OD
Creation Audio Labs MK 4.23 Clean Boost
Ernie Ball 6185 WAH Pedal
TC Electronic Flashback X4 Delay
TC Electronic Corona Chorus
TC Electrinic Hall of Fame Reverb
Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar
Bearfoot Baby Pink Booster
Maxon FL9 Flanger
TC Electronic Vortex Flanger

Bearfoot Evergreen Compressor

GigRig QuarterMaster 6 Bypass Loop Strip
The only pedal I wasn’t 100% sure about was the Timmy Overdrive. This does fit the controls layout, footswitch position and color. If you see anything incorrect or missing, please let me know by commenting below. Also, let me know if you’re a Cure/Bowie/Reeves fan!

Very impressive board. I’ve seen Reeves play with many bands over the years and he never disappoints. I second that that looks like a Timmy Overdrive.
Judging from the tuner-to-DI chain, I’m guessing he either runs a direct line out or – and this is more inspiring to me – he uses the tuner line as an acoustic line, rather than having another switcher channel inline. I’m totally going to steal that idea, whether it’s true or not.

Nice board! The link for the SoundBlox2 multiwave distortion actually goes to the Bass version. I assume it was meant to go here

Nice looking pedals anyway, I will try them out. The Ravish is also very interesting.

I walked into a guitar store in the 90’s when I was just learning to play and unbeknownst to me Reeves Gabrels was giving a clinic. He was using a Parker at the time I believe – they were new and getting hyped. This was one of the defining moments of my musical journey. Thank you Reeves.
