George Lynch

“I just did this tour with Yngwie,” he continues, “and I must have gone through ten overdrive pedals, and some of them are $1,000 pedals, but I always had my DS-1 right there onstage at every show. And I know a lot of players who use DS-1s — a lot of the big guys out there. You’d probably think, ‘I bet they’re using $1,200 vintage tube screamers or boutique pedals,’ but in a lot of cases we’re just using store-bought DS-1s.”

George Lynch’s Boss GE-10 can be seen at 1:00 in this video interview from Premier Guitar.

At 1:49 in this video from Premier Guitar, George Lynch’s guitar tech, Jerry Ganaden, discusses George Lynch G2G from Zoom. He says, “That’s a multiple effect pedal developed by Zoom and George. It has 40 presets that George wrote. A lot of them emulate some of George’s recorded tones over the past twenty years. Some of the more stable tones that are in it are the tones from Mr. Scary and the intro to Dream Warriors.”

He continues, “There’s also the other stuff that he has been using through the years like a Seek Wah function and also a preset whammy function that he does on a lot of the solos especially on the new [Souls of We] record. There’s forty presets written by George and then there’s 40 user presets that can be customized by the user. It’s a pretty cool pedal.”

George Lynch’s guitar tech, Jerry Ganaden, talks about the Cusack Screamer at 1:15 in this video from Premier Guitar. He says “The Cusack Screamer is of the tube screamer type of variety. This particular pedal adds a little bit of push to it before it hits the input stage of the amp.”

2008 Tour Gear "The signal flow is the same as it has been from the previous two tours: What’s new in the rig is the prototype of the Morley Dragon 2 Wah , a Boss CE-5 chorus pedal and the Boss, OC-2 octave divider. "

"George was an early adopter of the innovative BOSS GS-10. “I think a lot of people became disenfranchised with digital amp modeling stuff over the last year or two, but the GS-10 has really taken it to the next level. I wasn’t expecting a lot, to be honest, because quite a lot of these boxes were letdowns. But I tell you what killed me was that first program. You just turn it on and it’s unbelievable. It’s the kind of tone that I’d been looking for all my life. It’s unbelievable. I do a lot of clinics around the world, and it’s all I use. I’ll plug the GS-10 into anything they’ve got — any power amp, combo, 4x12 — anything I do is going to sound great."

According to Roland's official site, Lynch has used the GE-7 during his career.

“@georgelynchofficial 65 bassman head into Hiwatt cab. Pedal pawn Texan Twang into EP2 Echoplex - I prefer digital delay to tape for distorted soloing but I love the preamping effect echoplex has on a tube amp. I’ve used this particular one on almost every recording since breaking the chains.”
