Guitar World:

It’s been through a lot of changes, but some pedals have stayed the same, for the core lead sound in particular. The first pedal is the Demeter Fuzzulator, and I actually use that for a boost, so most of the time it’s off. From there, it goes to the Hermida Mosferatu.

Well, I’m kinda funny about guitars. Sometimes it’s whatever is closest to me - I’ll just grab that guitar and start working. I have the two prototype Strats that I worked on with Fender [featuring DiMarzio Fast Track DP181 and Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot singlecoils].

I’ve done a ton of work with my ’69 Martin D-28, which has just got richer and more complex. Then I use a ’60 Les Paul That’s on The Wilds Of Wonder, through the Dumble Overdrive Special.

Find it on:

Well, I also used a Komet 60 - are you hip to them? Oh man, they’re awesome. They’re just an hour from where I live, in Baton Rouge. Some cats, they deserve the recognition. These guys are good friends of mine, they’ve been around a long time, but they’re coming into their own. The Komet 60 is just way overbuilt - it’s all hand-built, the best components, and it’s more of a pure [ethos]: just plug in the amp, no channel switching, very touch-sensitive. You get the sound from the power section doing its thing and the power tubes heating up. I like to shed a little light onto cats like that.

From there, it goes to the Hermida Mosferatu. That’s a MOSFET design, and I’ve never heard any other drive pedal as smooth and dynamic - it’s like the perfect midrange amp in a little box.
