"For my studio setup, I mic the cabinet with a Shure SM57 through a Chandler Limited LTD-1 mic pre. That signal is then fed to the line input on the Custom Audio effects rack," says Michael.
Studio rack:
Dbx 160A compressor.
Tri Stereo Chorus 618.
Eventide H3000 D/SE Harmonizer.
Lexicon MPX-1.
Lexicon PCM 70.
TC G-Force processor.
Two Lexicon PCM 42s (left and right).
Custom Audio Super Tremolo.
"Pedals before the amp are a vintage Tube Screamer TS-808, Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe and a Boss volume pedal FV500H.
I use this setup only for recording, because the line-level processing is after the dry cabinet. In other words, I insert the rack effects between the dry cabinet and the recording console."

For his live setup, Michael mainly uses pedals patched directly between guitar and amp.
Pedals:
Maxon SD-9 Sonic Distortion.
Roger Mayer Voodoo 1.
Arion Stereo Chorus (in mono).
Boss VB-2.
Tycobrahe Octavia.
Custom Audio Super Tremolo.
Custom Audio Black Cat Vibe.
Cry Baby Wah Wah.
Boss FV500H volume pedal.
"I also use a Lexicon MPX-1 processor in the effects loop of the amp with the Suhr MiniMix for reverb and delay," says Michael. "Or I take a speaker level out of the amp to a Palmer PGA-4 speaker simulator and feed that to the Lexicon MPX-1, which then goes to a Marshall Valvestate stereo power amp through two Custom Audio 2 x 10 cabs with Celestion Vintage 10 speakers. Sometimes I'll use a small pedalboard, as it's small and easy to cart around. For that, all the pedals are before the amp, so they are a Maxon SD-9 Sonic Distortion, Roger Mayer Voodoo 1, Real McCoy Wah Wah (red), Arion Stereo Chorus (in mono, true bypass mod), Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe and a Boss volume pedal FV500H."
