The live rig is essentially the same on the floor, with the addition of a rack containing a TC G-Major for reverb, delay, chorusing duties and a Zoom 9050 unit for some of the more extreme effects. Amplification is currently a two Marshall 1987x amplifiers and two Marshall 1960A cabinets.

This 9050 is used in addition to other units. "Yes, I've been using the Pod 2, the Zoom 9050S and the Digitech valve FX live for some years now, though nowadays, in the studio, I'm using just the Pod 2 and the Fractal AxeFX, with an occasional use of the Pod HD 500. That's it, no amps or analogue pedals, just digital straight to desk."

"With Gong and the Steve Hillage Band, I’m using a Steinberger GL2T guitar, Line 6 PODxt Pro rack unit with a Line 6 pedalboard, and a Fender Twin FSR amp. With System 7, I swap out the Line 6 PODxt Pro for a Zoom 9050 multi-effects processor and also use Cry Baby wah and Boss Compressor pedals. In addition, in System 7, I have a Behringer Xenyx 502 baby mixer that I use to preamp the sound before sending it to our Pioneer DJM-800 Pro DJ mixer with crossfader control."
