More Pedals in my Collection



The original Electro Harmonix Holy Grail




The orginal 18v (wall powered) Electro Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress - Flanger / Filter





A VOX v847 modded to Clyde Mccoy Specs & a Sweep Capacitor Selector for different wah tones





A Purple Delay pedal. Sounds good. Don't know WTF this one is / where it came from but I use it on the analog rig.


I also have (2) ValveFX OD-2 overdrive pedals (like a Ross Overdrive) .... they sound great. One is a blues edition and the other is the standard black / white box one. Will post pics of them later.

Dunlop - Crybaby from Hell -


Just picked up one of these guys from Musicgoround for $40. Yah, what a steal right? I'm hearing nothing but good reviews too ; as this wah seems like it's one of the most adjustable ones on the market right now. It's built like a TANK. Not only does it feature a boost, but 'Q' control too which changes the sweep / tone of the wah pedal. Plus, I can't deny the fact that this pedal just looks cool. And I am a certified gear geek so I had to add it to my sonic arsenal. One of the cool features I like is the LED's in the front of the pedal telling u if it's boost is on / off and if it's engaged. Cool feature on a dark stage or even a dark studio.

Only a few minor problems that I see. The Q-control knob, fine tune knob, and boost level knob are pretty small and kind of fickle to adjust. But really once you have those where you want them you will only be messing with the 5 way selector.

A custom guitar - Desert Rose Custom Guitars -

Here's a custom guitar built by my partners and myself. Dev (whom has been doing custom wood work for years) did the finish and Steve sculpted the body / routing. The electronics I did myself, using a Fender single coil in the middle, and two gibson humbuckers for the neck coil and bridge. We used an LTD bolt neck, and a 'roller' bridge / tremolo. Plays great, sounds better, and looks very 'vintage'. I'd say this is the ultimate blues strat now.
