Amps:
For Europe and the UK I use a Marshall 1974x 18watt Combo.
Yea, even for the big shows. 18watts is PLENTY!
For the US I use this little lady… Billy Penn Bandmaster
For Pedals:
This changes quite often, I’m a freak about pedals, but the mainstays are:
Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe 2
Fulltone ’69 Pedal
T Rex Reptile 2
T Rex Comp Nova
Analog Man King of Tone
Analogman Mini Bi Comp
I also love the Fulltone Cables, they don’t break.
lately too.
Guitars- Gibson 1956 and 1957 goldtop Les Pauls
Amps- Dr. Z remedy, Dr. Z Route 66 and a Marshall JTM45
Effects- Klon Centaur, Frantone Hiball, Meastro ep3 tape delay, and a keeley modded tremelo pedal, and i'm not sure it counts as an effect, but he uses a weber mass 50 attenuator
I saw them twice on the last tour and was directly in front of him at one of the shows and he had a gibson les paul standard for a few songs. he uses ernie ball straps and the blue 1mm dunlop picks.
