Warren Haynes Guitar Gear Rundown
I thought it might be fun to try something entirely different today, both in content as well as editing. I’ve had vloggy-type videos before so hopefully it’s not too drastically different. In this video I’ll highlight a bit of the fun parts of the weekend at Sweetwater’s Gearfest, then I’ll go backstage and check out Warren Haynes touring rig.
Big thanks to Robert Baker, RJ Ronquillo, Robert Keeley and Matthews Effects at Gearfest

Personally my experience with Homestead is I sent his pedal back for repair, he said he would take care of it and six months later no return call, no one picking up the phone, no response at all. In my opinion BEWARE of doing business with a company that does not stand by their service, fix and return them, and answer phones. He is not Cesar Diaz, the pedal did not work long enough to compare to other pedals, and frankly I could not use it long enough to judge it but it did not originally blow me away. The fact that it did not work for more than few tries says it all. So…, beware of doing business and expecting this company to stand by their products. I gave him every chance to take care of this and nothing. Worst musical instrument company I personally ever dealt with. Would not buy anything from him again.
Hopefully i get to rock or with him… Almost All my guitar mentors are gone… between he Joe Banamassa, Eric Clapton.. One day hopefully
????????????
Eric handed me a setlist over a pretty large group of people last time i saw Mule. They are my favorite band and i didnt think anything would top standing front row all night till that happened lol
Now that's a guitar collection- you think he's a Gibson fan- maybe? He could retire on that collection alone man- not that I don't like his playing- I haven't heard Govt. Mule in forever but I used to really get into them back in the 90s. I saw them play in Huntsville AL one time- at a place called the Tip Top cafe. They were just starting out- and there were two other bands that played a lot of the same shows at the time- Walk the West and Will and the Bushmen. They were all really good but, Govt. Mule was better- and they made it while the other two fell into obscurity. That was '94-'95 right in there somewhere- grunge was in its heyday but there was a big push for southern rock bands as well- Tesla, The Black Crowes, Govt. Mule, Drivin' & Cryin', Kid Rock (who I hated and didn't think really belonged) and several other southern rock bands got pretty big at the time.
Man, I miss it- I was young and stupid enough at the time to think I was going to be a rockstar myself. LOL- Actually I think some part of me knew that wasn't going to happen- but it was damn fun to pretend. Still is but, now I have to do it while no one is looking- I'm too old now. You can get away with it when you're young- but if you don't give it up by age 35 or so- and you're still playing local parties- you start feeling out of place. Especially when you just played some Sound Garden and some kid is like "Why do you play so much classic rock?" my reaction was "Huh?" LOL Seriously, I remember just being like "What is he talking about?" It seems so odd to me to consider Sound Garden classic rock- but they do play it on the classic rock stations now. Weird.
I keep watching this over and over. BB2 & BB3 I never would have figured, but makes sense when you have such a distinctive tone. Neck pickup lead tone Im talking about.
I built a clone of the cae buffer, and purchased a car jangletone II buffer/pre because of this video… ???? Thank you Mr. Wampler!
For the drum delay sounds on live Dark Side of the Mule shows (like on “Time” and “Shine on You Crazy Diamond”), anyone know if Warren is using a real Binson Echorec? Or getting the delay from a pedal (like a Boonar or Catalinbread Echorec). Love that delay sound – I can’t find any information on it anywhere. Thanks!
What’s Feaster got going on back there?
Lol…awesome!! I was debating getting a carbon copy,but I have a DL-8…never knew that was in there! So know I have a excuse to get the carbon copy…thnx
The complement of guitars and complication of amps and effects is only for the tone chasing guitar hounds . With all that, great presentation . Engineering a rig is a live and learn process for any guitar player, especially on tight budgets .

Oc-2 is octave down, not up
Love your pedals. RIP Brian Farmer.
Brian, you selling the crate amp? lol
I started having flashbacks when I saw that CRATE amp. But I had (and still have) my proco rat from 88. God bless my parents for putting up with it.
Dang you must have to resemble Warren to be his tech… .Brian Farmer looked alot like him….. All those guitars look great!
Can't wait for his Ibanez RG signature tho..
I miss Brian Farmer.. RIP to a legend
So. . . is having Warren's hair a requirement for the job?
I agree. Warren has one of the best tones I've heard live. Following his career since the 80s.
"OC-2 for an octave up effect"… sigh…
4:55 Custom Audio Electronics Audio????? ????
Warren Haynes is Jeff Hanneman ? )))
Definitely my favorite electric guitar tone.
guitar tech is awesome!
such a shame his original tech died of a heart attack in his sleep, i miss Brian Farmer so much
still Eric Hansen did a good job too
I have pickups similar to the ones on Old Blue made by Pinion Guitars. They also make kits for a 12-string Les Paul.
Warrens tone is tough to achieve even with identical gear. But, I found on a budget, a Vox HW AC30 jumper with TS808 pushing into a Wampler Euphoria is all over it. Of course there are other routes but that was one of mine from back in the day. Now with a Hand wired JTM45 and the Vet V2 by Thorpy I’ve finally Found my own tone
Warren is a savage. Love seeing him.
Guess Warren had yet another falling out w PRS
What happened to his PRS amplifiers ?
Is it just me? I cringed at the thought of him ruining the beautiful tops of those Les Pauls by adding that toggle switch for the buffer circuit, when he could just add a treble bleed resistor for the same effect.
My pedalboard? Well, I am glad you asked! I have a 100% Wampler board. A Sovereign and a Plexi Deluxe, then an Ego Compressor, then an Ethereal delay/reverb (best delay ever made) and I balance it all out with an EQuator (best EQ ever made) It all goes into a Bravado head and matching 1×12 cab. Expensive? You bet. This ain't no game folks, I do this shit for a living and studio grade effects are like a scalpels for a surgeon, or wrenches for a mechanic. If Wampler made a guitar I would own it too. I also have other pedals they're just not on my board right now. I bought everything except the head/cab from my local GC in Castleton Indy where I have seen Mr. Wampler himself. That gives all my pedals some mojo you can't get from anywhere else! lol Love 'em!
Warren’s tone is as big as his heart and that’s frickin’ huge and warm ! Eric had some big shoes to fill with Farmer’s passing and he’s doing a fantastic job ! ✌️❤️????
I was hoping the tech would talk about why warren has some of his neck pickups flipped and some not. I know why other guys do it, but still would have been cool to see/hear how Warren came to like it on some but not others.
Great video. Will you be doing more like this because you're a great interviewer.
