information

Hello, my name is John, and this website is aiming to provide a complete and thorough guide to My Bloody Valentine's equipment, and a chronology to the history of the band + live shows.

As of now, its very much so in-progress, and not perfect -- though, it is definitely the largest resource of its type and extensively researched to provide as much content as I can. I have went through a ton of old guitar mags, examined ALL live footage from 1986 to 2026, went through countless photographs, spoke with the band about gear, witnessed live shows, recreated guitars and pedal chains, and esentially dug up as much information as possible in hopes to compile a website that any 'gear nerd' and fan of the band will enjoy to have a look through hopefully!

There are some certain pieces of equipment yet to be identified. -- those that remain are stated with an 'Unknown' tag or 'unconfirmed' and some vague descriptor. If you can identify any piece of equipment that I have listed but not properly named, please feel free to contact me to let me know and I can update it!

(If the band would any aspects of this website taken down or edited in any way, please just let me know and I am more than happy to do so!)
