Guitars
Primary guitar for most live and studio performances. The semi-hollow body gives an acoustic warmth that feeds fuzz pedals differently from a solid-body guitar.
Used extensively on Blak and Blu — the Strat single-coils into a Big Muff are responsible for the Hendrix-influenced fuzz passages.
Lighter weight alternative to the Les Paul for heavier live sets.
Limited ES-335 signature model with aged hardware and custom pickup configuration.

Amplifiers
Primary amp — blackface 4×10 combo with natural reverb. The clean headroom allows fuzz pedals to do the saturation work without amp breakup muddying the character.
British crunch alternative — more compressed and aggressive than the Fender. Used for heavier textured passages.
Added for chimey, compressed midrange character on some live performances.
Pedals & Effects
Primary fuzz — sustained, dense lead tone with scooped mids. Clark uses it aggressively into the Fender clean platform for maximum contrast.
Expressive wah for Hendrix-style lead passages — used melodically, not rhythmically.
Vintage style overdrive for lighter push ahead of the amp.
Supplemental reverb beyond the Super Reverb spring tank for specific live textures.
Unique to this artist in the database
Warm analog delay for echo-driven solos — the warm repeats suit the blues-fuzz character.
