From All That Shreds Magazine.
"For other equipment I’m using Marshall Cabinets, and Line 6 POD HD Pro X, rack mounted with a Line 6 pedal board and I’m using two power amps with that and two Marshall Cabinets live and that’s actually the same for the other guitarist in the band Mike Wead, he’s using the same set up, and it’s very versatile because I mean you get a really nice tone and people are really surprised when I say I’m using that because they think, “oh really that sounds that good” because you pretty much can get any tone you want from it, we got a few presets with clean sound, solo sound, and rhythm sound and it’s so easy to work with and just an Ethernet cord between the unit itself and the floorboard and you have all your presets right there on the floor you know so I’m thrilled with that. Very easy set up indeed." Andy LaRocque
