The Machines

XD1- Xtreme Distortion

Foot pedal from Brazilian Company GNI, great sounding and great tone. It has a two-stage pedal capable of offering everything from a light distortion to an extreme one. In addition with a tap of the foot it enhances the pick attack, causing the guitar’s play to sound out above the other instruments.

 

ASDC – Analog Stereo Dual Chorus

The ultimate Analog Chorus solution. With this pedal you can achieve the full intensity that only true analog circuits can offer.

 

AS1- Amp simulator

Not only a powerful simulator capable of reproducing the sounds of the main amplifiers on the market, but also has an independent booster that can be added both for the effect as well as for the clean sound.

 

DIGITECH RP1

Ive had this baby for 10yrs (2nd hand) The clean channel on this was used for the whole album to imput from the amplifier to the computer. A true 80s classic foot pedal by digitech.

The classic Hendrix model. Great!

 

Boss DD3 delay pedal

Brilliant pedal from a top company. This pedal is a must for anyone looking for that professional sound.

 

IBANEZ JEM 7Vwhite

My main guitar of choice for over 10yrs. This pride and joy has had many journeys and still rocks hard. Great neck with a great tone. ‘The Knight’ was recorded with this guitar.

 

Ibanez Gio Red

A great little guitar for the price. I use it mainly for practicing and instructing on. It holds it own.

 

Maton EM225 Semi Acoustic

Main acoustic of choice. Brought 2nd hand off a student a few years back. Quite hard to handle but has the bright distinctive sound that only a Maton Guitar can deliver.

 

Montery Semi Acoustic

A gift from my family a few years ago. Flamenco Nights was recorded with this beauty.

 

SX Custom Vintage Bass

Awesome bottom end. Most tracks on the knight were recorded with this.

 

KORG TRITON Le Keyboard/Synth

Everthing and more you will ever need from a workstation. If you want to record a symphony, this machine has it all.

 

Roland Jazz Chorus 90watt Amplifier

A true Jazz classic amplifier. Great for jazz and rock with the right pedals.

This amp was used for the rhythm tracks in ‘The Knight’. Easily portable to gigs and not that heavy.
