THE GUITARS:
My two main guitars are my Parker Mojo Nitefly and my Ibanez S470FM in British Racing Green. The Mojo Nitefly is what I play 98% of the time. The Mojo Nitefly features a mahogony body and neck with a composite wrapped bolt on neck and stainless steel frets that are glued onto the fretboard with some high tech glue - the result is highly precision built guitar that is unbelievably stable with an amazingly low action. My action is 1.5mm high with no buzzes or dead frets anywhere on the neck, yet with very good sustain. It can also be played in stereo with the Fishman piezo pickups being sent to one amp and the passive Seymour Duncan Jazz & JB magnetic pickups being sent to another amplifier or both signals being summed to a single mono signal. The pickups can be played in any combination. My goal is to move up to a Parker Fly at some point in time in the future.
THE AMPS:
My main amps are my Fender Hot 2x12 Rod DeVille (60 watts), '74 Fender Twin Reverb (100 watts) and my '86 Seymour Duncan Convertible (100 watts with "variable power").
THE PEDALS:
On this pedalboard I made out of an old bass guitar case, I have a Maestro Boomerang wah clone (DIY pedal), a DOD FX-17 wah/volume pedal, Boss Metal Zone, BSIAB (DIY pedal), Shaka Tube (DIY pedal), TS-808 clone (DIY pedal), Boss DD-5 digital delay, Boss Super Chorus and a vintage Arion SAD-1 analog delay. My favorite wah pedal is my '72 Maestro Boomerang. I love that thing! I have many more pedals, but these are the ones that are consistently on my pedalboard.
THE STUDIO:
All recording so far has been done in the room in my house which I have named "The Green Room". My recording setup is very simple. I use a few built from scratch custom presets on my old Zoom 9030, which is fed by my '72 Maestro Boomerang wah pedal or my DOD FX-17 wah/volume pedal (in volume pedal mode). That goes straight to my Yamaha AW16G digital multitrack recorder. The mixer is just for practicing to CDs or a drum machine. I don't even have studio monitors yet! I currently use headphones for recording and mixing. I also have Roland electronic drum set and a Yamaha S08 keyboard that I use occassionally when recording.
