Paul Hardcastle

Paul Hardcastle, the renowned keyboardist, composer, and music producer, uses the Mesa/Boogie V-Twin pedal for its overdrive capabilities. In an interview with Soundonsound for the feature "Paul Hardcastle: King Of The Castle," Hardcastle mentions, "I can use my Boogie V Twin pedals for that," referring to the need for a quality preamp or overdrive section in conjunction with his TC Electronic G Force, which he praises for its effects. This direct quote confirms Hardcastle's use of the Mesa/Boogie V-Twin within his musical setup.

Paul Hardcastle, the renowned keyboardist, composer, and music producer, uses a Lexicon MPX100 effects processor. He expressed his satisfaction with the device, stating, "I also picked up one of the little MPX100s. I went into the shop, liked what I heard and thought I had to have one." This information was confirmed in an interview published by Soundonsound in the article titled "Paul Hardcastle: King Of The Castle."

"The Lexicon PCM70 has always sounded fantastic, but I also picked up one of the little MPX100s. I went into the shop, liked what I heard and thought I had to have one. And this thing, the TC Electronic G Force, is brilliant. It's a guitar effects unit — it doesn't have a great preamp or overdrive section, but I can use my Boogie V Twin pedals for that — but the effects are so good, it's probably the best unit I've got. You can even write your own scrolling advertising slogans across the display, though this one still has the message the shop programmed into it."
