| Two prized plectrums given to me by Michael
Ward of the Wallflowers. |

|
Acoustic guitars
Takamine Limited Edition 2000 electro-acoustic, great for
recording and superb live too.
|
|
Electric guitars
Godin LXGT with a Roland GR33 guitar synthesizer to add extra
texture and to give me a broader musical palette. The Godin
also has LR Baggs piezo pickups in the bridge for
electro-acoustic tones. |
|
Westfield 12-string electric
to give me that jingle jangle Byrds sound.
Guitar effects
Boss GT6 multi-effects unit. Simply the best! I put this
straight into the PA.
|
|
Roland GR33 guitar synthesiser.
This is great in the studio or live as it allows me to turn my
Godin guitar into virtually any instrument!
|
Harmonicas
I have three 10 hole harmonicas. The 'C' harmonica is a Hohner
Pioneer. The 'D' is a Lee Oskar Major Diatonic. The 'A' is an
AXL folk/blues. |
|
Sequencer
Yamaha RM1X sequence remixer which I use to generate backing
tracks. Loads of modern dance sounds at your fingertips and
fully programmable. Excellent functionality for the price.
Amplifiers
Marshall AVT275 2x12 combo which is affectionately known as
'The Beast'! This has 4 channels and a footswitch for moving
between them when playing live.
Dean Markely DMC-40, 2 x10" speakers, 2 channel with
reverb and chorus. I use this for practice, if I don't need
the full rig!
With the Godin I run both the Marshall and the Dean together
and can mix guitar and synth sounds; or I can play guitar or
synth on their own.
Recording
Korg D1600 digital recorder with built-in CD burner. This is a
very sophisticated 16 track yet is surprisingly easy to use.
Also has built in guitar effects, reverb for the vocals and
programmable drum patterns.
Yamaha MSP5 powered monitors - just right for the home studio.
Shure SM58 mic - I use this for recording vocals and for gigs.
PA Rig
Peavey XRD680 power mixer, with 8 XLR or jack inputs, built in
digital effects, with 2 Peavey 15" Hisys speakers. I use
this with my Godin to give me three voices: rock guitar via my
Boss GT6, piezo acoustic straight from the Godin, and guitar
synth. All three are volume controlled to mix the levels
depending on the song. I also put vocals and acoustic guitar
through the power mixer. |
