“[Pedals] inspire me to do things differently. It’s such a big part of what I do and how I create,” says Paramore guitarist Taylor York.
We caught up with the guitarist of Nashville pop-punk sensations Paramore to check out the gear he uses to bring to life the band’s stadium-sized hooks stuffed with enough ear candy to make every day feel like Halloween.
York plugs his Bilt and Supro axes into an RJM Mastermind switcher used to trigger the plethora of pedals stashed away in his rack, which feeds a pair of Supro Statesman amps, and a Top Hat Emplexador, all of which blast through a trio of Supro cabinets live onstage.
Taylor’s main overdrive sound comes courtesy of a pair of RawkWorks Light Overdrives, and for raunchier fuzz tones, he uses the Dirt Transmitter and Terminal (“I got [the Terminal] because [Tame Impala frontman] Kevin Parker has it,” he adds. “Because everyone loves Kevin”).
York’s modulation palette includes two Boss DC-2s, a CE-2w, and the Rainbow Machine, which Taylor says he originally used for the weirdness factor, but has since discovered a number of day-to-day uses. “I used it for one its wacky things – it sounded almost like a car. I didn’t realize how useable it was…until I found this really cool modulated slapback. I use that all over the place,” he says.
In addition, York uses the Grand Orbiter for a swirly, resonant phaser that’s FOH engineer approved, without any of the harsh frequencies found in other units. “Phasers are always really tricky,” he says. “You can really dial it in right.”
Paramore’s After Laughter is out now on Fueled by Ramen.

This guy literally writes the lps instrumentals, fucking genius
What song is playing at 4:14? (Paramore newbie here)
Taylor York 2024 when?
do you really need all this shit?
I really love how he is a subject matter expert at what he does.
would love an updated one of these for this era of paramore! their sound is so different to last album would love to see what taylor’s using now!!
Some Rami Malek/ Mr. Robot vibes but man do I love Taylor York.
This man. I love it. The white socks and mock-docs really make the whole video though
Thank you taylor.i miss Hayley Williams alot.
Taylor’s my favorite guitarist ????
i may not know what hes talking about but honestly I just find so much enjoyment in hearing him talk about something he's passionate about! i could listen to him talk about paint dry tbh but its nicer when hes talking about something he loves 🙂
We need an update from Taylor
As if I didnt like that band enough. You find out they are all pretty humble. Best band overall since the millennium.
I need him to nerd out more, i could listen to him talk about his craft forever. Maybe when we were teens we did care as much or didnt know as much, now most of the fansom is grown up and we absolutely love the passion and knowledge behind the sound. Makes the live experiences better too, bc you truly appreciate that he is playing live, sometimes we forget, we see a band moving and they are actually building stuff its crazy. I love paramore so much, latinamerica might have a sh*tty economy but i will finally see them live soon, cant wait to see T pressing sttabing, pressing, tapping his set <3
PS: the drumming on Part II need to come back, that was some EPIC stuff too
Awesome setup
Who is taylor guitar tech?
Sim, é difícil ser viciado em pedais quando não podemos comprar tudo o que queremos, então temos que ser seletivos. Porém, deve ser ainda mais difícil ter dinheiro para comprar qualquer pedal, porque aí você fica indeciso sobre qual usar. hahaha, enfim, queria ser o indeciso. hahahah
Dear EQD, please do another one with Taylor for 2023! ????️
the tone at 2:26 is immaculate
Don't understand a thing about it, but I really love T. ! His voice is so calming
Which is that song from 4:16 to 4:22?
can y’all please make another video of his equipment actually being demonstrated
its really sad to see so many pedals and none of them demonstrated
TAYLOR IS SO GENIUS!
I think he's the equivalent of Harry Styles for being so adorable and that nice soul.
I still think about this man's introduction when I am listening to "That's what you get"
He's adorbs. A poodle of pedals. Poodles for armor.
Old paramore > new paramore…
Awwww, I just wanna hang out with him. He’s such a babe.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT SHOES IS HE WEARING IN THIS VIDEO?
EDIT
I found them with help of kind people from reddit!
Surely all Fractal now ????????
This guys sounds so much like Connon Oberst.
Ty hablando sobre guitarras y pedales, lo podría escuchar toda mi vida ????
i love you taylor
no sé qué es lo que dice pero puedo escucharlo hablar por horas y no me voy a cansar
i have no clue what he’s talking about, but it’s so nice to hear him talk. i love how passionate he is about his art, and i’m so glad he saved paramore.
Three years later and I'm still listening Taylor talking about gear. But now I completely understand the last part of this video, when he says "Pedals don't make something good just because they sound cool. It's like they inspire me to do things differently"
