"First of all I have to make clear that the guitar and sampling are not linked. My guitar does not trigger any of the samples. It runs through a completely different rig. What I do is control the Dr. Sample and ES1 with a Yamaha MFC10 MIDI foot controller, which I started using because I got fed up with having to stop playing guitar to hit a button with my hand."

I started off using some of them, and after that went through my CD collection to find drum breaks or sounds that I thought were interesting. I also programmed some samples in my D50, and made some arpeggiated patterns using a monophonic software synth called [Koblo] Tokyo.

"DOD FX17 Wah – I love how you have to rock back to turn it on, and how it sounds, though I sometimes use a Dunlop Crybaby 95Q for a stronger wah sound."

Answering a comment Avi writes "I do, however, have a Variax - which is an incredible feat of technology, but it's not a MIDI controller, much like the cool new Boss SY-300 isn't a MIDI synth."
