** If you were wondering how one guy with just a guitar & a few effects pedals can get all those different sounds while playing solo - here's a list of equipment I'm currently using.

BTW: Nothing is ever prerecorded.. just my mind going 90 to nothing & some really busy feet!

* Gear used:

** Guitar:

Yamaha APX5A Thin-Line Acoustic Guitar
Ovation Celebrity MCS148-RRB Mandolin

** Pedals:

Boss RC-20XL Loop Pedal
Boss CH-1 Super Chorus
Boss PS-6 Harmonist (used to simulate Bass)
TC-Helicon Voice-Tone H1 Harmonizer (set to 1/3 above)
Electro-Harmonix Mel 9 (set to Strings)
Pro Co Momentary Muting Switch Cough Drop Pedal (used on primary mic for momentary mute)
Rolls MM11-PRO Pro Switchable Mic Mute/Talk (used as an on switch for secondary mic recording)
Joyo JF-11 6 BAND Graphic Equalizer (used on secondary mic to allow separate EQ through loop pedal)
Digitech HT-6 Hardwire Poly Tuner

** Microphones & P.A. Gear:

1 Shure SM-58 Microphone with On/Of Switch
1 Standard Shure SM-58 Microphone
Yamaha StagePas 400I 400W PA System
Yamaha Model 400S Speakers
Peavey Mini-Monitor II Floor Monitors
