"Ben Adrian KWB. This pedal does all the work. I used to play an amazing old MXR Distortion+. It turns out it was broken, and that’s why I liked it. So my friend Ben built a short run of pedals with the broken circuit. This one is the prototype. Ben sold his soul and works at Line 6 now (I think his title is “Associate Tone Ruiner”) so you can’t get his pedals anymore."

"My guitar is an Edwards Les Paul — the John Sykes model, made in Japan. I love this guitar. (John Sykes was in Whitesnake, but it was the crappy late ’80s Whitesnake, not the awesome earlier one. He was in Thin Lizzy too. Same story. But dude can play the shit out of a guitar and has excellent taste in Les Paul cosmetics.)"

"The bridge pickup is a Duncan Phat Cat. I never use the neck pickup, but I put a Duncan ’59 in the neck because I like zebra pickups and The Gear Page is basically a non-stop pickup closeout bin. 'Barely used.' You don’t say! Don’t buy pickups new. Really, don’t buy any gear new."

"Like other guitarists, I use strings. I use the bottom six strings from an Ernie Ball Power Slinky 7-string set. (Call me if you need a pile of high E strings.) At our tuning (drop A#), the .14-.58 string tension is pretty close to standard-tuned .11’s."

"I played a Peavey VTM60 for years ($75!) but last year I switched to this old Traynor Mark 3. Great amp. Simple Twin-inspired circuit, clean with tons of headroom, and loud as balls. Thanks, Canada."

"Boss BD-2. I bought this from Ian, our bass player. He had modded it, but neither of us can remember what mods he did. I use this pedal once in a while when I want extra dirt."

"The cab is a ’79 Marshall 4×12, loaded with Weber speakers. Our old guitarist thought the grillcloth was ugly and I think he’s an asshole for that. True story: last year, when I opened up this cab to rewire it, I found an entire spool of solder. I’d left it in there two years earlier."

"Boss TU-3 tuner. I don’t like this pedal much. I keep meaning to switch back to my old TU-2. For sale: Boss TU-3."
