I stomp on two Pedaltrain pro model pedalboards hinged together to form my custom designed 'clamshell' two level aluminum indestructable board. Simply put, I don't think I'll be using anything else for ever. Have a go at one please.

The solderless cables I use to hook up all my pedals and gear.


If I'm going to build a Marshall like I have already done, there is no where else to put you hard earned $ except here. His forum is a wealth of knowledge that appears no where else on the net as well. George is the most amazing new amp builder out there ...period!


The best guitar wireless system ever made. As I am trying to let all know, there is no equal to what these guys manufacture. Here is a direct link to the analog model I use nightly around the world  Save your pennies and get one. It Is A Cord.....I'm not joking.

I use there downward expander called the decimator pro rack g. These are the boys that invented the rocktron hush products and now have taken it to the next level of expertise. I don't use much of any rack gear anymore but this is the one piece you will see in my racks.

I use their speaker cables on my isolation cabs. I think the drum riser has ridden over it a couple hundred times and the casing on the cables still look like new. You can't kill it.

No explanations needed on this guy. Steen is the man of soldering death. He has made my switching units as well as ones for the edge, petrucci and countless others. He's the next level above Pete Cornish.

I have used celestion speakers since I started playing my instrument and I don't ever see it changing. John Paice over in England knows just how much my little weenie body loves to be pounded by tone. He has even graciously entitled me to their new Gold Alnico speakers beta versions for my Matchless amplifiers currently under development. Except no immitations as these guys over in England have smoked way too many speaker voice coils in the past 30 years to have any competition.
 
Stomp Pedals:

Mike is a stand up guy with no compromise when it comes to making quality. I'm using his bi-chorus clone (a clone of the e/h) that I will take to heaven with me to jam with Hendrix with.

Here is the guy who made pedals for Hendrix and Page. I use two of the Vision wahs he has invented. Simply the next generation of wah wahs. It has a throaty vowel sound I can't find anywhere else. I also like stomping on pure Real< carbon fiber as well. Has a nice slippy slidy feel of silky smoothness...

Can U say "Big Muff" ? I'm addicted to these in the worst way. A four gainstage silicon pusher. I have my own prototype that I have built and use nightly with some added controls as well. I hope to bring it to market when I'm done beta testing it. This pedals sound makes my O.C.D. kick in really bad and I just want like 10 more in different colors and tweaks to stomp on. I love the Muff..Do you?


Paul Cochran (no url, sorry as he does not have web address yet due to being to busy)
I use the "Tim" pedal he makes on a limited basis. He is one real genious of a pedal maker. His tim and timmy are way underpriced and are finding there way onto countless pro guitar players boards and never leaving. Mine is going nowhere.

My pedal power 2's are on the first level of my Pedaltrain powering almost all. Never had a failure or a hickup. Rock solid product boys. Thanx a ton!
 


Robert has made me a bunch of stuff and never ceases to amaze me with his build quality. Have a look at his stompboxes please.

Your only source for the Maxon 900's and 999 analog delay pedals from Japan. A bucket brigade of analog mayhem.


One word. "Vibutron"
 

 

My wireless in ear monitor system I use nightly comes from shure. Rick and all at shure are just wonderful peeps.
 

The finest invention ever produced for a musician. This is the company that can stuff three miniature speakers (including a sub woofer) into the inside of your brain and make your bones rattle! I use the 7's pumping my tone into my blood onstage every night.

Without my custom length comfortstapp I can't play guitar. No kidding. I was actually paralized on my entire left side for about 6 months and have severe back problems. This guitar strap is a godsend from my man above. It stretches just a tad and takes up the pouncing motion of my PRS and disperses it into thin air with me knowing. Freakin' Genious product. Now I want it on all my backpacks bro<. haaa haaa ....
 
Online Gear Shopping:


I shop here. Top notch boys if you want an internet purchase of killer boutique stuff. He just happens to be not to far from my home in New York as well. Just my luck huh?

If you are looking for incredible PRS guitars that quite honestly inspire even me to play and salivate as I look down, look no further! Aaron and all the wonderful kind people at Elderly music are your choice for the unique and limited pieces. You might even find one of my personal guitars there for sale from time to time.

Teddy is a stand up boy with too much good gear online. I buy from him a lot. You can't give away your hard earned cash to better dude. I don't know how he finds the time to answer the emails. He also spent some time at the Jamaica music building in the old days along with me and the boys from Metallica.

My stomping shoes onstage since I can remember.

If it were not for these guys and gals I could not see all of you. They make my prescription eyeglasses.

The most amazing guitars on the planet come from these guys. You already know that I'm sure. As we progress toward a signature model in the shape you might be more familiar with me playing, I am in such awe at the careful nature and wonderful expertise that comes from within' these guitar luthiers at the factory. There is no room for error or second best. My guitar is just an extension of my being that only they can capture and turn into the creativity that challenges my soul to create.


I plugged in to an "Independence" combo at the 2006 Namm show and fell off my chair. Phil from Matchless silently looked at me and then pulled the 1/4" jack out and plugged it into a "DC-30" model combo and said "now play" and I just had no more words or energy left. I just sat there and looked at him with a dizzyness I have never experienced.... Tone,tone,swirlies and more tone...... to die for!
 
Now the signature "WatchTower" Spitz model with the first ever 6L6GT power tubes ever available from Matchless is a reality! Just call Phil and pester him to make you one!
 
Can you say Marshall crunch, Dumble swirlies in 3D,  meets the rectified bounce of the DC-30 with the tone and quack of  Hendrix/Stevie Ray oozing through the celestion Golds! My  goodness. All hand wired with absolutely no circuit boards of any kind  using n.o.s. allen bradlys and secrets only the little speaker eating mice over  there know about.
 
A Swiss trained Master Watchmaker would be proud of you Matchless boys!

My strings and Star picks come from my bro's over here. Have a look and ask him about the alloy models strings I pound on as they are second to none!

These wonderful people protect my valuable equipment with there cases of the utmost quality. They take a pounding every day and just slam...
