Jay Gonzalez (born 1973) is a musician from Athens, Georgia known for playing keyboards and guitar in the Drive-By Truckers.[1][2][3] Gonzalez joined the band in 2008 and also produces solo music.[4]
He has been in the bands Loveapple in the 1990s, the Possibilities and Nutria in the early 2000s, and also plays in the band Cut Buffer.[4] He is a fan of 70's power pop music which is evidenced in his solo album Mess of Happiness.[5][6] His 2012 solo album Bitter Suite is five songs that all flow together as one musical composition.[2]
Gonzalez plays a 1968 Gibson SG Special with the original P-90s and Vibrola tailpiece.[7] He uses an Ace of Clubs combo amp with two channels—one more British-style, and the other more American—plus reverb.[7] His effects board contains a TC Electronic PolyTune tuner which feeds into an MXR Micro Amp, a modded DOD FX52 Classic Fuzz, and a Xotic EP Booster, with additional effects provided by a TC Electronic Flashback delay and a Boss RT-20 Rotary Ensemble.[7]
