At 5:20 In this video interview from Premier Guitar, Robert Randolph talks about his ToneBone JX-2. “The ToneBone kinda helps you get the whole polarity thing going, then allows you to be able to create this midrange over here. You see you can get into that and then you can get gain on the midranges, which for pedal steels, it’s important to have the high mids and the mids-mids. It’s really what it’s all about. Derek Trucks figured it out so that’s why he’s sly, he gets the creamy sound when he’s got his amps tweaked out too.”

Custom Audio wah-wah. It's great, it's durable, it has the cool knob set. You can adjust how much chew and how much owe you want.

I've got a MXR phaser, but I like the throwback ones.

And I got this new pedal made by Budda, called the ZenMan. Now, this thing is very nasty.

Sennheiser sponsered Robert Randolph, uses Sennheiser's e935 microphone, according to Sennheiser's artist page.

Before we bought the Radial JD7, each time I added an amp the impedance changed, the level dropped and it messed with my tone. With it, I can run as many amps as I like and it keeps my tone true. I use it in the studio and with my live rig. The Radial JD7 is phenomenal.
