Comments
Ear Candy and Tapehead was a Marshall 6100, with a rackmounted Dual Recto added with Tapehead
Before the Randalls, he used a POD Pro into a Mesa/Boogie Power amp
His guitar he first used when King's X was becoming popular was the Fender Stratocaster Elite. When he went to Zion guitars, he took out the preamp of the strat, put it in a 1U rack case, and keeps it in his rack so he can get that tone with any kind of guitar. Not sure if he still uses it.
