Maxon 808 Overdrive
I love modern overdrive pedals for rhythms but when it comes to leads I always end up coming back to the original.
EVH 5150 III Stealth 100 6L6
My favorite amps have always been the 5150 I, II, & III’s. The Stealth 100 6L6 version has the most modern clarity & attack while offering a thick & tight low end. I also love playing Friedman and old Marshall amps. I used a combination of the Stealth and the Friedman Pink Taco on my 2023 EP.
TC Electronic Flashback II
This is my favorite delay pedal because it can mimic almost any delay. I normally use it in the Tape Delay or 2290 Digital Delay settings.
TC Electronic Quintessence
This is by far my favorite harmonizer pedal. This thing can do anything but my typical setting is Minor 3rd with the Mix knob at 10 O’ Clock
IK Multimedia Tonex
This is the processor I used to play live. In my opinion this and the Quad Cortex offer the best true guitar amp tones. I use this pedal along with my overdrive, delay and harmonizer to play live so that I don’t have to drag my 5150 around. I also have my EP tones available in my shop for anyone who owns a Tonex!
Mesa Recto 2x12 Cab
Mesa cabs with Vintage 30 speakers are my favorite cabs. They seem to be the best cabs on the market for heavy guitar tones. I mostly use a 2x12 for convenience but I love the 4x12’s.
Friedman IR-X
This is my current main lead tone as of 5/1/24
Friedman IR-D
This is my current main rhythm tone as of 5/1/24
Electric Eye Mud Kills
This is my current favorite overdrive pedal as of 5/1/24. This pedal is perfect for tightening up flubby or boomy low ends.
Electric Eye Mud Kills
This is my current favorite noise gate pedal as of 5/1/24. I switched to this gate because it has a much more natural decay when it cuts off the sound.
Electric Eye Mud Kills
This is my current delay pedal as of 5/1/24. I switched to this delay because it is tiny and allows for more real estate on your pedalboard. This pedal also has an optional reverb that I use for cleans and sometimes for leads.
