Luke Boerdam

Luke Boerdam, known for his work with Violent Soho, uses a custom-built Violent Soho Tele Jr #2, crafted by Tym Guitars. This instrument was tailored to achieve the sound he envisioned, featuring P-90 pickups and a wraparound bridge, reflecting his preferences and the durability required for touring.

At 3:20 the DS-1 can be seen on the bottom left corner of Luke's pedalboard.

In this Australian Musician photographical interview with the Australian band Violent Soho, there is a clear picture of Boredom's pedalboard with the MXR Distortion + in the centre.

In an article by Australian Musician Magazine, a Fender Telecaster Thinline Electric Guitar, belonging to Luke Boerdam, is visible in the background of a photo, indicating its use by the artist.

In the 'Violent Soho - WACO (Album Trailer)' Luke can be seen playing a black 'Fender Classic Player Jazzmaster Special'. This guitar actually belongs to his band mate James Tidswell however was used by Luke when recording different guitar parts for the album 'Waco'. The item can be seen briefly at 0:28, 1:00, 1:47 and 2:41 in the album trailer.

Each effect is it's own pedal with IN/OUT jacks and controls which are switched on and off via the bypass switches. The Tymexar has the toggle for germanium or silicon clipping as Luke had mentioned he liked both settings for different tones but I kept everything else as simple as possible. I cut up my face plates to show what knobs controlled what effects, and while it's not aesthetically my best work (sorry Tone) it seems to make sense of the 9 knobs on such a small enclosure.

"We used to stick with old ‘80s JCM800s and just use the nice natural gain on that lead channel. You still can’t match that, I reckon." Quote from Luke himself during an interview

Uses a JCM 800 for the heavy chorus tones and switches to the Fender twin for cleans. " I have the Fender Twin and then I have a JCM800 for when I boost in the choruses"

Luke uses this as his main guitar for the concert.
