Musical Instrument Technology
Staying traditional thats the way I like
it.
Delano's
Guitar Rig
My live guitar rig is based around my Fender
"Strato Ultra". This guitar has an alder body,
figured maple top and ebony fretboard. Wilkinson
trem and roller nut and ultra clean sounding
Fender Lace Pickups.
My
Amplifier Rig
My amplification is a lovely valve driven 100w
Fender Twin Amp with two 12" Fender speakers.
Weighs a ton but sounds great.
My
Effects Rack ".
My effects rack is almost exclusively Boss. No
I'm not an endorsee. I do prefer the traditional
stomp box's rather than the digital ones which
i find removes too much of the inherent sound
of a good instrument. They do in my opinion make
the subtle differences in tone between instruments
less noticeable.
I have gone against the grain this year and
bought a Line6 PodXTLive unit. So far I'm still
holding my view that it does not give a plausible
tube amp sound so I have utilised the boss LS2
Line switcher so that I can keep the guitar sound
and add the effect to it rather than use the
xt as the foundation for my sound. We shall see
how it shapes up on tour this year. |
