Minus The Bear Interview

We sat down with Minus the Bear’s singer Jake Snider and guitar loop guru Dave Knudson recently to talk shop on the gear they use to get the band’s signature sound. Check it out in the video above, and get a look into the duo’s gear below.

Minus The Bear Gear

Jake and Dave from Minus The Bear are devoted PRS fans — Dave rocks a Custom 24 and a McCarty, while Jake loves his PRS Vela. Jake’s pedalboard includes 4 (four!) Line 6 DL-4s to create his symphony of loops, and Jake talks about his recent fondness of the Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini in our video interview. On the amp front, Dave plays through a Fender Twin, along with a prototype PRS half-stack, and Jake prefers a hand-wired Vox AC30.
