Equipment

ESP & Jackson guitars (custom shop), Amp: Lee Jackson GP 1000 pre-amp and alesis Quadraverb to VHT-power amp. Cabinets we usually rent because they are impossible to fly over...

Jacksons I have are all from the 80`s and ordered and designed by me. Black with yellow stripes and white RR`s are from 87 and the matt black with cross inlays is 90. These ESP - stars are from last year and also custom shop. Pretty much made like those Randys. 24 jumbo frets, oil necks and pretty much same electrics. That is jackson JE1000. I also have a Tokai les paul, custom. B.C.Rich Warlock (which is also hot!) and a Charvel 1. And of course a nylon classical old yamaha. I still practise some classical now and then..

GP 1000 is also a 80`s product and it`s a one sound, angry sounding little tube pre-amp. I`ts horrible as that, but if you add active electrics and gainboost from your guitar, the result is just great! Needs a little EQ though! Ou yea, and of course a wireless. My old samsons seem to be at the end of their road, so a new on will come soon.. And my rocktron HUSH just resighed too...

VHT is just a BIG and deepsounding tube power-amp. Also a little stereo chorus is cool, but olnly a little one. If I can pick a cabinet, I`d take 4 vintage marshalls. Usually I have jcm 900, the very basic cabs. I have 2 metaltronix cabinets at rehearsingsite...

That`s basically it, sometimes I use sansamp psa 1, cause it`s programmable and the distortion is pretty good. At home I have boss GS-10, lots of sounds and goes with computer, so it`s very handy at home...
