Guitars

I’ve been using a Fender Highway 1 Strat with custom ’69 pickups and Sperzel tuning keys. Occasionally I’ll play a Jeff Beck or a Clapton model, all strung with Dean Markley Strings. The gauges are 11, 14, 18P, 28, 38.50. I also use a Guild BluesBird (right) when I need the sound of humbucking pickups. Also strung with Dean Markley 11’s.

Amps

I’ve been using this setup for quite a few years and I'm still happy with it. A 2-12 Fender DeVille and Fender Bassman reissue (4-10s). Also,on my Hendrix tributes I use a Marshall DSL head with a Marshall 2-12 or 4-12 cabinet. I recently started using a Fender Vibroverb and it sounds great!

I just added this cool Blues DeVille reissue to my setup. (bottom left).

Pedal Board

I'm back to my old pedal board....

Vox Wah
Boss tuner
Boss Compressor
Tube Screamer
Fulltone OCD
Boss Vibrato
Boss Delay

The signal is sometimes split with a TC Electronics Stereo Chorus (that is not on), or a delay unit with stereo outs.
