Alex Edkins

In this interview with Premier Guitar magazine, Edkins explains his pedal setup. "I use a Pro Co Turbo RAT, straight up, almost all the time. I sometimes run a SansAmp GT2 to boost the RAT a bit more, and a couple of delays. But that’s it."

In this interview with Premier Guitar magazine, Edkins talks about his Jazzmaster. "I restring it a lot to keep it even more janky and bright-sounding, and also so I don’t have to use my backup... I only want to play my Jazzmaster because nothing else sounds like it."

When asked if his JM is stock or not, Edkins says, "To my knowledge, it’s not modified at all. It’s got a [Whizzo] Buzz Stop installed, but other than that, it’s stock. I’ve never had any issues with strings popping out of the saddles, luckily. For me, the only thing a guitar’s really got to do is stay in tune. If the strings were popping out a lot, I would have ditched it by now."

In this interview with Premier Guitar magazine, Edkins is discussing his Jazzmaster when he notes that he also owns a Jaguar. "I restring [my Jazzmaster] a lot to keep it even more janky and bright-sounding, and also so I don’t have to use my backup, which is a Fender Jaguar. The Jaguar is a great-sounding guitar—I think it’s a ’64—and it’s got that fantastic vibrato bar..."

In this interview with Premier Guitar magazine, Edkins explains his love for the Twin Reverb. "I’ve used a bunch of the vintage ones, but I tour with a reissue because the reverb sounds different, and actually I like it better than the vintage reverb," he says. "It’s a little less rounded and soft around the edges, and somehow a little more clear. If we need to get a backline, I actually request the new ones. The funny thing is, I’ve had my own Twin for maybe 15 years, and I’ve never even changed a tube. I think it’s just completely blown out."
