Ibanez FGM 400
MGS - Do you ever use or still own the old Ibanezes? Those are still pretty sought after.

Boss CH-1 Super Chorus
I’ve played a whole bunch of pedals over the years. One of my favorite BOSS pedals is the BOSS Chorus, the light-blue-colored CH-1. When I first heard it, I went, “Wow. How could anyone play guitar without a chorus on it?” It’s just a beautiful sound.

The VG-88 was what really enabled me to discover my new tuning, so I’m extremely grateful for that. I started playing around with that preset, and realized I co...

Boss OC-2 Octaver
Harmonizer & Octave Effects Pedals
I have used many of the other BOSS Distortion pedals, and the [OC-2] Octave pedal; I found it an interesting and easy way to make your guitar sound huge. It’s like having another guitar or bass playing at the same time. And I’ve always had BOSS tuners, because it’s extremely important to stay in ...

Boss MICRO BR® Digital Recorder
I also have the MICRO-BR. I’ve used that quite a bit for live recordings and recording my band live, just with a small mic to MP3. It’s wonderful, and I can record ideas quickly.
