I thought I’d start this blog with something really basic, but also something that I know quite a few people are curious about: what gear I use. I’m a total nerd and love to research the gear people use, so perhaps this is interesting info to others.

The old saying is true: the gear you have doesn’t make you a better musician… or something like that. Anyway, it’s 100% correct. But, one’s gear of choice & how they use it will absolutely become a defining characteristic of their sound, and so it is certainly important. Certain sounds & colors are unique to a given instrument and I love to figure out what tools my favorite musicians used to get that sound.

So, with all that said, I wanted to start off with this ol’ guy & talk about its history & impact, as well as how I’ve used it…
