Daniel Donato

I have a Fender Custom Shop Telecaster based on a ’62. I also have a ’61 Gibson SG my girlfriend bought me. I string them with D’Addario NYXLs, gauged .010-.046. My amps are ’67 and ’68 blackface Fender Pro Reverbs. I have a Boss DM-2 Delay, a Wampler Ego Compressor, a Walrus Audio Plainsman for clean boosts, and, for overdrives, I currently use an Oddfellow Effects Caveman Drive and a Jetter Jetdrive. My tuner is a Sonic Research strobe

"The Comp Pro holds a sincerely large part of the equity of the tone that I hear in my head. I don’t see any board in my near future not having one. The Compressor plus is similar in essence, just more compact, yet still as effective! These two pedals will indeed prove that any style, taste, genre that applies to the guitar; the sound and tonal aid offered from these pedals can apply to all. I love them."
