Pedals

I am a big fan of vintage effects and 70s classic rock sound. This is reflected in the content of my pedal board, which currently changes, but the basic stays the same:

  • 70s CryBaby
  • Ibanez TS 808 Original
  • Ibanez TS9 Original
  • Rat overdrive
  • TC electronics chorus/flanger
  • MXR P90 phaser, also from 70s.
  • Boss DD5 digital delay

Signal chain

Then, the signal goes into Frampton amp switch, and finally the amp of my choice, which is usually Marshall ‘mini bluesbreaker’ or Fender Deluxe.
