“I play mostly acoustic guitar and I’m very happy using this one amp called AER, which is made in Germany. I like the two models but I prefer the smaller acoustic one. I use an [Electro-Harmonix] Oceans 11 reverb with that, too.
“I kind of shied away from my pedalboard because I used to a use a Roland VG-88, and at times I will go back to the VG-88 which enables me to MIDI interface some sounds with my nylon acoustic – a signature model made by Felipe Conde in Madrid. It combines an RMC pickup and it also enables me to also activate sounds that I can blend in with a foot pedal from the VG-88 unit.
