John Abercrombie's Effects Pedals
On three tunes, “Clint,” “Hippityville,” and “Killing Time,” he utilizes Roland’s GR-700 synth module and Ibanez’ IMG2010 controller, creating vivid, high-tech sonic landscapes, while with “Alice in Wonderland” and “Still,” he acknowledges tradition by featuring conventional electric and acoustic instruments.
"…a key to my sound is a Boss GE-7 Graphic EQ that I use as a pre-amp. I set the volume on my amps low, and the volume on the EQ high, so I still get a lot of level out of the amps, but with less noise…" (Originally published July 2007)
From Abercrombie: "I've been using this distortion pedal for the last few years that's made in California by a company called Fulltone. They make a pedal called the Full-Drive, which is basically an overdrive pedal that's got a couple of stages of distortion you can use. I find it's one of the more natural-sounding ones; I just like the sound."
John Abercrombie is noted for using the JAM Pedals Tube Dreamer 72 Vintage Overdrive, as confirmed by JAM Pedals on their website.
