Harvey Mandel

"Live, Mandel employs modern stompboxes and a VG-99 to reproduce effects he created decades ago in the studio. His Parker Fly Mojo sports an aptly psychedelic finish—flames and a snakeskin-patterned lower bout."

Harvy Mandel was seen playing his black fender stratocaster at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. The guitar apears to have a rosewood fretboard, and a tremolo bar.

"I use it mostly for the effects, through a Hot Rod DeVille 4x10. Sometimes I will run one of its amp model effects and still run it through an amp."

I play through a Roland VG-99 and some Keeley pedals I keep on the side, like fuzz, delay, and compressor. The VG-99 is great because it has a million effects built in. I can sit there and create a bunch of my own patches, so I can have the perfect rhythm sound, the perfect Jimi Hendrix sound, and a perfect backward tape sound at the flip of a button."

"I use .009-.042s, so my E, B, and G are light enough to push into the other ones."
