In the article he says, “ I used a lot of DI guitar on my new record (check it out!) and this box allows me to recreate those sounds live.”

I have a friend in New York who knows more about guitars than anybody I know; this Rain Man-level wisdom. He buys them for nothing, knows the value, and fixes them up. He got, I think, a ’66 Melody Maker SG in Pelham Blue, modified with two PAF humbuckers. He got it for like $900 and was like: ‘Dude, these pickups are worth a grand each.’ I convinced him to sell me that and it’s been my main guitar since. It’s the only one I used on the album.

In the article he says, “[I] got my Digitech Whammy which I’ve had since I was probably 16. [...] For the last two Delicate Steve albums I used the Whammy a lot in the “Octave Up” setting and now I’m using it in the Harmony Octave Up setting.

Says he uses Strymon pedals for delay, reverb, and Leslie simulation.

In the article he says, “My favorite pedal right now is the Mu-Tron Phasor II. I used it a lot on the record because it was up at the studio where I recorded my album, The Outlier Inn in upstate NY. I had to get one for the live show since I used it on almost every song.”

In the article he says, “I have my Dunlop 535Q Wah which I’ve also had since I was 16.”

In the article he explains, “All the pedals are going into an RJM Mastermind PBC controller, which is a next-level piece of gear that people like The Edge and Joe Walsh probably use.”

He says he uses Strymon pedals for his delay and reverb.

Says he uses Strymon for delay, reverb, and Leslie simulation.
