Tim Reynolds is the lead guitarist of the Dave Matthews Band1. Premier Guitar filmed a rig rundown with him in October 2010, in which he showed his amplifier, cabinet, pedalboard and guitars1.
Amp and cabinet
Reynolds' rig in the rundown was built on a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier head into a Mesa/Boogie 4x12 cabinet1.
Pedalboard
The pedalboard Premier Guitar filmed held five units1:
- MXR Line Driver
- Way Huge Swollen Pickle, a fuzz pedal
- Dunlop Crybaby wah
- Ernie Ball volume pedal
- Moogerfooger Ring Modulator, a synth-style effect
It is a small board: a line driver for level and push, one fuzz, one wah, one volume control and one ring modulator for metallic, bell-like tones1.
Guitars
His guitar lineup at the time included a Gibson Flying V, a Gibson Les Paul Standard and two H-S-S Stratocasters, the latter pairing a humbucker at the bridge with single coils in the middle and neck positions1.
