Guthrie Govan

"And by request a messy pedal board…"

"The Dizzee Rascal gig has been an interesting one, in the sense that we're playing a lot of tracks which don't feature any guitar on the original recorded versions. Whilst preparing for that gig, I just had to find the most appropriate tone on a song-by-song basis - so in the end the best solution turned out to be a G-System, with a couple of extra overdrive pedals into the loops - and a separate patch (or group of patches) for each song."

Guthrie Govan uses the TC Electronic Ditto X2 looper pedal, as highlighted in his artist story and gear overview on TC Electronic's website.

Guthrie Govan showcases his pedalboard on his official Facebook page, featuring the Xotic Effects Robotalk filter effects pedal.

"Guthrie Govan has been using our chorus pedal for years, there is a nice interview with him in Premier Guitar Magazine Mar 2010. Guthrie said, I love the Analog Man Chorus, which I guess is modeled on a Kurt Cobain kind of chorus. If you turn the speed up you get this nice Leslie effect. If you turn the depth up too much you get John Scofield, which is pleasing. In the July 2011 Guitar Player magazine with Guthrie on the cover, he said: The Analog Man Chorus doesn't rob the signal of any low end, so you can get the desired degree of swirliness without sacrificing any of the meat in the tone. "
