“My guitar goes from a Boss TU-2 tuner directly into an RMC Joe Walsh Signature wah. After using the same Vox Thomas wah from the ’70s, I retired it and found I liked the sound of the RMC. From there, the signal goes into a Barber Tone Press compressor, mostly for slide stuff,” he said. “After the compressor, it goes a 1982 Ibanez TS-9 modded by Analogman to round out the sound for leads. From there, signal goes into an Option 5 Destination Rotation, which is a Leslie simulator. I’ve always used real Leslies to record, but who wants to lug one to a gig for a couple parts? Next, it goes to a Decimator for noise reduction I use if a club has bad/noisy AC power, and it exits through the Analogman ARDX 20 dual-analog delay, set for slap back in one channel and space echo in the other.”
