IBANEZ RGT42DXFM- This is the highest quality Guitar I own. Neck
through, Flamed Maple top, Stan Hinesley Custum wound "Rogue" Humbucker
in the Bridge, and "Viper" pickup in the Neck. Warm,
full tone with a ton of sustain. Gotta love it! |

IBANEZ RG350EX- The most recent addition to my collection,
It's loaded with Stan Hinesley "Rogue" and "Viper"
Humbuckers. |

IBANEZ RG450 DXWH- My Guitar has Dimarzio Evolution
Pickups in the Neck and Bridge. For a semi low priced Guitar, it sounds and plays great.
Plus it reminds me of Steve Vai's "Evo" or "Flow" guitars |
 |
STAN HINESLEY
HANDCRAFTED PICKUPS - My
main choice in pickups. Handcrafted in Florida by Stan Himself, one at a time. I currently
use Stan's "Rogue" and "Viper"
Humbuckers, as well as "Hellcat" and "Desperado"
Single coils. All wound extra hot to my liking. These pickups absolutely sing! Super
dynamic and rich in tone, the best pickups I've had the pleasure of playing. |

RACK SET-UP
Korg DTR-1000 Rack
Tuner- The standard in
Rackmounted Tuners, easy to use makes tuning a breeze in any situation.
Furman M-8D Power
Conditioner- Nice Mid Range
unit. I like the LED voltage meter, and it was half the cost of the PL Plus.
ENGL 570 Tube Preamp- This preamp Rocks, from Crystal Clear Warm Clean
Tones, to subtle Crunch, to Overdriven blistering Lead Tones, MIDI Programmable, this amp
can do it all!
BBE 462 Sonic Maximizer-
I had this in my
old rack and had pretty much lost interest in it. It was basically sitting
around collecting dust when I decided I'd throw it into my new rig and see
what it had to offer my new tone. Glad I did, sounds killer. Really gave my
entire sound a boost, big tight low end, crystal clear shimmering highs. The
"Magic Box" so to speak, seriously this thing just makes everything sound
better!
TC Electronic G-Force Effects
Processor- Top of the line
Effects Unit, super transparent effects with zero noise. Doesn't get any better!
Marshall 9100 50 Watt Dual Mono
Block Tube Power Amp-Killer,
crystal clear tone. This amp cranks! |

|
Mills Acoustics 412A
Slant Cab- Leaves everything
else in the dust! Takes your tone to a new level. Loaded with celestions, this Cab is made
with nothing but the best. I currently run two of these bad boys live, and the stereo tone
is unbelievable!!!
|
 |
Furman SPB-8C- Love this pedal board! With the built in Power
Strip and Hardshell Case, it makes storing, transporting and setting up to play a snap. A
piece by piece breakdown of the pedals on the board is listed below.

|
DIGITECH WHAMMY 4- After using the Digitech Whammy-Wah Pedal for the
last few years, and basically playing it to death, I decided it was time to upgrade. This
Pedal Rocks, well made, great tone, and all kinds of features. Can't beat it!
|
 |
Rocktron MIDI Mate
Footswitch- Allows me to
switch my Preamp, and effects processor from channel to channel with the touch of a
button. |

|
VOX Clyde Mcoy Wah- After having two Dunlop Crybaby pedals break in
under a year, I decided to spend the extra money and give this Wah a try. Glad I did, as
it has a far greater tonal range and overall better sound than the previous pedals I had
tried. This thing rocks!
|
 |
Xotic Effects BB
Preamp- I love this pedal,
it's like a secret weapon for sweetening up a tone. I think it sounds best when added low
gain channels, or Clean channels. You get this warm, full tone, very rich and organic
sounding. Sort of gives everything a little boost, awesome! |
 |
SFARZO Strings
-
Excellent strings made right here in the U.S. Bright, crystal clear tone.
I currently use their Regular Lite 9-46 SFT Screamers, and Super Screamers,
love em'!! |

|
Dunlop Jazz 3- A friend of mine suggested I try one of
these picks one day, and I haven't looked back since. At first, it was a bit awkward being
so small. It was super accurate though, and didn't bend or get in my way. Once I got
completely comfortable using it, I tried using one of my old picks and hated it! I
absolutely swear by em' now. |
