In the above video, Kelley cranks it up and runs us through the two-channel, double distortion Mean Machine; the Junior Room-Mate, a more afforable version of its big brother, the Room-Mate; the Tapster tremolo pedal, a neat update on the popular Tremster; and finally, the Spin Doctor 2, a programmable preamp pedal with motorized faders.

Joe is a freelance journalist who has, over the past few decades, interviewed hundreds of guitarists for Guitar World, Guitar Player, MusicRadar and Classic Rock. He is also a former editor of Guitar World, contributing writer for Guitar Aficionado and VP of A&R for Island Records. He’s an enthusiastic guitarist, but he’s nowhere near the likes of the people he interviews. Surprisingly, his skills are more suited to the drums. If you need a drummer for your Beatles tribute band, look him up.
