So here is the “Rig” I have spent 37 years building up to!
· Paul Reed Smith 513 Electric
· 2 Soldano Decatone Heads, one feeding one or two 2 X 12 Marshall Vintage Cabs and the other feeding two 1 X 12” Marshall mini-cabs as “front” monitors From the send of one amp I route through a simple reverb unit (various makes!) and return to both amps a subtle background hall reverb.
· An Orchid switching box takes care of the three channels on both amps plus switching in the Ibanez Tube Screamer on the overdrive channel only!
· I use Samson radio transmitters - they are so simple and so brilliant!
· Strings from my long standing friends at G.H.S.
· A fabulous Andy Manson mandolin and Taylor acoustic guitars whenever I am allowed extra gear.
· All Guitar repairs by Manson Guitars, Exeter, England.
· Electronic repairs and build by Orchid Electronics, Exeter, England.
My three solo albums have so any guitars and amps on them I can’t begin - so I won’t!
