Studio setup: He mics the cabinet (see below) with a Shure SM57 through a Chandler Limited LTD-1 mic pre. That signal is fed to the line in on the Custom Audio effects rack. The rack has the following in it: DBX 160A Compressor Tri Stereo Chorus 618 Eventide H3000 D/SE Harmonizer Lexicon MPX-1 Lexicon PCM 70 TC G-Force processor Two Lexicon PCM 42's (left and right) Custom Audio Super Tremolo Pedals Before The Amp Are: Vintage Tube Screamer TS-808 Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe Boss Volume Pedal FV500H He uses this setup only for recording because the line level processing is AFTER the DRY cabinet (in other words, he insert the rack effects between the dry cabinet and the recording console). Live setup: Guitar into Custom Audio RS10 switcher. All the pedals are before the amp, they are: Maxon DS-9 Sonic Distortion Roger Mayer Voodoo 1 Arion Stereo Chorus (in mono) Boss VB-2 Tycobrahe Octavia Custom Audio Super Tremolo Custom Audio Black Cat Vibe Cry Baby Wah Wah Boss Volume Pedal FV500H He also uses a Lexicon MPX-1 Processor in the effects loop of the amp for reverb and delay, or he mikes his cabinet and send it to the Lexicon MPX-1 which then goes to a pair of wet cabinets (2 Custom Audio 2x10 cabs with Celestion Vintage 10 speakers) Sometimes he'll use a small pedal board, its small and easy to cart around...
