Comments
Duncan Invader bridge + Full Shred neck
www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIFGaDKappM
you can see that he`s using a s.d. in the bridge, so!! By the way, what duncan pickups he uses in his guitars right now?
I also in the same interview that he also is using a Warrior that is "japenese made", which I'm pretty sure is the WRMG model (jacksonguitars.com/.../.... And he also claims he's using seveal Rhoads Models. The one I saw him use, I couldn't tell. it was either that 1981 rhoads or a modded RR1.
thearmpit.net/.../... Heres the interview.
At about 3:10 you can see that the second Orange Head is off. It is just a backup i think.
I saw some pictures of his pedalboard. There are Z.Vex fuzz pedals used. I guess it is turned on in the solo of "Shotgun".
I have a correction to the strings. He officially uses Ernie Ball strings and the picks are different triangle picks by dunlop.
I saw some ibanez pedals from the ton lok series on his board. Guess it is am "smach-box" and the "chorus/flanger"
And for some reason, there's a Mesa Boogie Recto fullstack behind the bassist.
does anybody know what this little piece of metal is which he uses on boiler?
it has about the seize of a humbucker.
