“This is the amp that's been with me probably for the last six years and it's the bulk of my live electric guitar sound.”
“The reverb is almost always on because I don't have amp reverb.”

His 2016 board held a Strymon Flint, an MXR Carbon Copy, a Death By Audio Echo Dream 2, a Strymon Deco and an EarthQuaker Devices Hoof Fuzz.
