I’ve got enough on the go as is. So, for this tour the rig is a Shure wireless GLDX16 that goes to a Digitech Freqout pedal which is my ‘cheat code’. Because I can hold feedback at any pitch when I step on that thing. It’s latched to a momentary switch so it allows you to just have feedback at any pitch that you’re holding which is amazing for solos or recreating studio moments or just getting wild on-stage when you’re trying to make noise.
