Gear 10

D'Addario NYXL Nickelwound Guitar Strings (12-60)

Strings

I'm a very heavy handed player. I use these strings mainly for Standard tuning or Drop D or a half-step down from those. I like to feel the resistance in the strings instead of having to pick softer or change my vibrato, and these strings are my new favorite. Better than Ernie Ball, I will never go back.

MXR CSP026 '74 Vintage Phase 90 (Handwired)

Phaser Effects Pedals

Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom Slinky Guitar Strings (10-52)

Strings

I tune to E standard & E flat with these strings, and they are wonderful. Only time they broke was when I threw my Strat across the room! Great strings, especially for the heavy-handed player!

Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar

Solid Body Electric Guitars

The first "real" electric guitar I bought (& still have) is a Sunburst Standard Stratocaster, modified with Seymour Duncan Rails at the bridge, and with a full block tremolo system. Beautiful, classic guitar!

Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky Guitar Strings (11-54)

Strings

These strings are great for tuning down to C# Standard on my Gibson for heavy playing. These strings have never broken on me, and I'm one helluva heavy-handed player!

MXR M169 Carbon Copy

Delay Effects Pedals

MXR's Carbon Copy delay, while only having been out for a few years, is a great delay for dark echo fans. The oscillation you can get with this delay is amazing, similar to Radiohead's "Karma Police" effect near the end of the song. Great delay for the money, I recommend you get one now!

Gibson Sonex 180 Custom

Solid Body Electric Guitars

This guitar was Gibson's cheapest budget model of a Les Paul in the early-mid 1980's, possibly before Epiphone started making cheap Les Pauls. This guitar is a beauty in the looks, but a complete BEAST in the sound. Down-tuning with these guys hits the sweetest spot for heavy rockers like me! It's so good, that it being underrated should be a deadly sin!
