What type of gear does Glenn Schwartz use?
(contributed by Ryan Elliott): Glenn plays out of a 1980’s (maybe 1983) Fender Quad Reverb Tube Amplifier. He uses no stompboxes or pedal effects – the only thing being a little black cube he installed into his guitars (similar to a Black Ice overdrive). The cube I believe contains at least one diode to give the guitar tone a combination of crunch/drive/fuzz. Glenn activates the drive cube with a switch he installed on his guitars. When the switch is off, he just plays straight thru his amp. When on, the cube interrupts the signal sent from Glenn’s guitar pickup (each of Glenn’s main guitars only have one pickup) to the output of the guitar.
