Racks

“It’s pretty straightforward: mostly delay and chorus but I’m phasing here and there. I’ve been using the [TC Electronic] G-Force units for quite a few years now and haven’t felt any need to change anything.

“I’m running two units for basic delays and then the third one for additional chorusing, reverb and flanging - things like that. There’s a Cry Baby and Behringer noise gate, too.

“I use the TC 1210 for chorus. I love it and I’ve had that for over 20 years… I need to find some wood to touch because I’ve never had a problem with it!”

Fractal Axe-Fx

“The Fractal Axe-FX Ultra is our back-up system - it’s been programmed with all the same effects. Before that we had a couple of little problems on the last tour when I had a very simple backup, and it caused too much stress. No problems on this tour, though; it’s been running really great - touch wood again!

“My tech, Scotty [Appleton], is pushing us to go with the Fractal [for effects] and I’m sure eventually we will. It’s nice to have everything in that little package and it sounds terrific. But I’m sometimes nervous about changing things and I know all my gear.”
