Allan Holdsworth

According to the product website Allan Holdsworth uses this H&K equipment.

“As someone who has been using volume pedals for many, many years and always searching for something better, here it is! The Dunlop Volume pedals are exquisite. They are extremely linear, sonically transparent, and tough as nuts. I love and use both versions! The expression version is great in the studio also, because it has a low impedance input perfect for after FX and I can insert it into the FX send and returns on my console, DI box, line amp, mic amp, etc. and it works beautifully. Done deal.”

"Emmett (Chapman) built me some custom Sticks that didn't have bass strings. There were two sets of strings, one tuned in 4ths and the other set in 5ths. It was like two guitars on one neck. He also loaned me a 3/4 size Stick that I wish I still had. I still own a regular size Stick with no bass strings. I like the instrument because of the string length. When yo do the tapping thing in the guitar the sound seems puny because the string is so short. I don't really play the Stick much anymore or acoustic guitar for that matter, after the Synthaxe entered the scene."
