Comments
But when you have one of his signature mansons you probably still have to buy some expensive stuff to get everything working or not?
Maybe only the sustainer and fuzz which are built in work without you having to buy other things?
It's custom made and you can get them at the Mansons website. Bummer is they are extremely limited.
The EHx Microsynth is no more, and there is a Keeley Fuzz Head, 2-knob Keeley comp, Boss OC-2, TC Stereo Chorus and Comet Ray Gun phaser now in the chain.
On the stage, there are a few pedals including a couple Boss FV-500s, FS-5u momentary switch, and a TU-2. A few of these control a Dunlop Crybaby rackmount wah.
That's about it, for now.
