Welcome to my page! Here you will find links, and photos and various other stuff. Hope you enjoy your visit...
I have been asked frequently about my gear, so I thought I'd start out with a listing of the stuff of which my tone-dreams are made of.
The guitars that I play are pretty much stock. They consist of
1) A Heritage H575 ASB strung with D'Addario 11- 49's
2) A Gibson Les Paul custom also strung w/ D'Addario 11's
The signal then goes in to my pedal board which kind of goes like this:
Ernie Ball Volume pedal + Rocktron, Austin Gold overdrive + Ibanez TS9 Tubescreamer + vintage Boss Analog Delay + Homemade A/B , A+B switch where the signal can be sent to either or both amps.
The amps I use primarily live are:
A) 1962 Vox AC30 with Celestion greenback 30 watt 12" speakers. This model has the top boost modification mounted on the back. This amp does it all except the vibrato channel is wimpy. Which is
why the A/B box goes to...
B) 1964 Fender Black-face Princeton, it is the transition model with the white knobs and 12’ speaker. The tremolo on this amp is , how you say... like butter. I usually run this with an External
speaker cabinet made by Tubeworks. It is open-backed and mounted with old Altec - Lansing 12".
Some other things worth mention are My Fender Resophonic (Dobro-ish) guitar which is set up for lap-style only.
My Alvarez / K. Yairi DY 45 N (1985) Flat top,
And a Lanikai soprano Ukelele My kids got me for father's day.
Hope to use this on a recording soon...
