Vernon Reid

Vernon talks about Audiobus at 2:30, and says, "Audiobus allows different audio applications to play with each other."

The signal goes from the Parker's hex pickup to the VG-99 to a DOD Passive Mixer, which splits the direct guitar out from the VG-99 to a Zoom G3 (used for auto wah), a laptop with Guitar Rig Mobile Interface with programmed sounds controlled by a Roland FC-300 and Ableton Live controlled by a Keith McMillan SoftStep.

I also use the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx Ultra amp- and effects-modeling unit, and lots of additional software, including IK Multimedia AmpliTube and Peavey ReValver 3, and soft synths such as Native Instruments’ Reaktor 5 and Absynth 4.

In this tweet, NOIISE thanks Vernon for mentioning their app, FLUX:FX.

I incorporate a hex pickup into my sound, so I use a VG99 guitar synth setup, and I also use Guitar Rig 3, plus a Peavey ReValver.

You can hear the soft synths on the song “Method” on the new album. I used the UVI Workstation to activate eight-bit samples for the noisy/glitchy stuff at the end of that song.
