Guitars - My main guitar is a 1998 Paul Reed Smith Custom 22 10 Top with Bird inlays, a stop/wraparound tailpiece, and Dragon 2 pickups. Other guitars include a Fender Lone Star Stratocaster with 2 Texas Specials and a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the bridge, A Fender Telecaster that I gutted and revamped with Lindy Fralin pickups (single neck, hum with coil-tap in the bridge), and a Gibson CS-336 figured top semi-hollow in tangerine burst.
Amps - I have been using Rivera amplifiers for over 10 years. I usually run a Suprema 55 closed-back combo, sometimes with an extension cabinet 1x12 Rivera or 2x12 Marshall. I also have a R-100 'Hundred Duo-Twelve', which is 100 watts and has two twelve-inch speakers (duh).
Effects - All of my guitar effects are mounted into two Furman pedalboards. I have my favorites, but there are always new additions and substitutions. Click on pictures to see my current setup. Effects include (In order of signal chain) - Board 1: Crybaby wah, Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive (my secret weapon!), Tech 21 XXL ditortion, Boss TU-2 Tuner, Boss CH-1 Super Chorus. In the effect loop - Board 2: Digitech Whammy, Electro-Harmonix Polyphonic Octave Genereator (POG), MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay, Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress Flanger, Digitech Hyperphase, Digitech Synth Wah, Boss BF-3 Flanger, Boss Volume, Channel Switcher for Rivera amp (not in signal chain)
Board 1: Line 6 DL4 Delay w/ expression pedal, Boss TR-2 Tremolo, Line 6 MM 4 Modulation, and Boss RC-2 Loop Station. I use George L and Horizon Cables to hook 'em all up.
