Marty Friedman

Marty lists the Maxon auto filter on his website as a piece of gear he uses. He says it gives more of a human voice quality to his leads if used sparingly. A staple of his guitar rig, Friedman also mentioned the use of AF-9 in end-of-the-year 2022 Guitar World issue.

"You’ve used a lot of BOSS guitar products such as the GT-6, GT-8, and GS-10. How have you used those multi-effects processors?" - BOSS asking Marty Friedman.

Guitar.com interview done with Friedman in 2010:

I used a Roland GT-6 for a lot of the scratch tracks and then I wound up keeping some of the scratch tracks because the tones I tweaked from the GT-6 were sounding kind of fresh.

I’ve been using a Roland VG-88 for gigs. It’s a synth-based guitar rig. It’s wonderful because I don’t need any outboard effect. It’s all right there. It’s got the best presets of any modeler I’ve heard, by far. It’s got a nylon-string guitar that literally sounds like you’re playing a nylon-string. On an electric guitar, it sounds exactly right. If you tweak the presets, they get even better. It’s been a godsend for me, really, because I like having a lot of different sounds. So I use the VG-88 and the Crate 300-watt amp. It’s got great headroom for the way I play because I don’t really mute any notes. There’s no headroom in an amp if you have to turn it up to 6 or 7 to get any sustain out of it. With this amp, I get all the volume and sustain I need when I’m on 1 or 1-1/2 without pushing the limits of the amp at all. So I get very little unwanted feedback.
