May 10, 2020 Of course, Jack White became known for his use of the Digitech Whammy. In fact, this is exactly the piece of gear he used to create that unusual bass tone, that actually doesn’t come from a bass guitar, on The White Stripe’s legendary hit “Seven Nation Army.”. Aside from these, he owns some boutique pedals as well.

Say what you will about Jack White’s technique, he is a modern guitar icon. Being known for his two-piece guitar-drum work means he’s working overtime to fill in the bass, guitar and vocals slots.

Jack White’s pedal choices not only contain the essential effects that allow him to fill out the sound, notably with octave effects, but also all match to a certain color scheme! All of his pedalboards follow a color pattern. In the White Stripes, all of the pedals are white or red, similar to his band’s chosen colors. While he seems to favor pedals with those colors, he’ll also paint certain pedals to line up with the palette. The most interesting look however is most certainly his Raconteurs pedalboard, which he had all pedals finished in copper, a service provided by AnalogMan.

Jack White seems to keep relatively the same pedals throughout his bands’ careers. However, it is between his different bands that you will the bigger differences in the Jack White’s pedalboard components.

Cry Baby Wah Pedal

Our Jack White gear page is one of our most popular profiles, and with the advent of his latest solo recording, it was high time for an updated list. One of the most important additions was to his essential octave effect, which he uses to fill in the bass portions when he performs as a guitar and drum duo.

One of the biggest additions to the Jack White gear page was the segmentation of pedalboards by band. His set-up tends to change between bands, though even then it tends to be just a the addition of a few pedals.

We now have Jack White gear profiles for his times with the White Stripes, the Ranconteurs and Dead Weather. Follow the link below to see the updated pedalboard list.

Jack White Gear – Octave Pedals

The octave effect is one of the most important sounds for Jack White, especially during his two-piece performances. Being so familiar with octave pedals, he also employs them when he plays full band.

Two octave pedals have been used on all his pedalboards: the Digitech Whammy and the Electro-Harmonix POG. For the latter, it seems that he has used the original Electro-Harmonix POG, now out of production, though has switched to the Micro-POG. Not only are these pedals the most popular for this effect, they are also painted in his original pedalboard palette (Red and White), though they were eventually bronzed for his time with the Ranconteurs, and painted white during his Dead Weather time.

A new octave pedal was added recently: the ZVex Wooly Mammoth. This pedal was used for the recording of the Quantum of Solace James Bond theme, and is also assumed to be used on his Dead Weather pedalboard, though it is painted white and not certainly identifiable.Jack White Wah Pedal
