Helix Line 6


This piece of equipment does it all. Regardless of what style you play, what type of guitars you play, you can create so many different sounds with so many different parameters. Each one has so many controls to fine tune the sound you are looking for. There are numerous: effects, preamps, amps, cabinets, compressors, limiters, and much more. You can also run impulse response patches on it, as well. A truly an amazing tool.

I also use this for my vocals along with a Sennheiser e965 Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone.

Mesa Boogie Mark Five :35 head, With 2x12 Open Back Cabinte.


The Mark Five: 35's first channel has clean, fat, and crunch modes for a wide range of tone. Use the Multi-watt power switch to flip between 10 watts for breakup at lower volumes, 25 watts for more headroom, or 35 watts for the punchiest sound with the most touch response. The powerful mid-boost control is all you need to push your tone to the front of any mix. Choose the third channel for Mark IIC+, Mark IV, and Xtreme modes with switchable 10-, 25-, and 35-watt operation for tones smooth and liquid to roaring and edgy.

The Mesa Mark Five: 35 boasts the same spring reverb and Solo controls as its 90-watt big brother. The reverb is a tube-driven, long-tank spring, allowing you to get a touch of ambience or surfy washes of echo. You'll find two independent Solo controls on the front of your Mark Five: 35. These footswitchable additions allow you to preset the perfect amount of boost for getting your solos above the mix of the band. And the Solo controls are completely removed from the circuit when not activated.

The open back cabnet comes with 2 Celstion 12 inch Greenbacks. The have a full rang from tight bottom to punchy mids to sweet highs A real pleasure to play through!

A few words about equipment


​Selecting what equipment is right for you is a very personal choice. I am sure that if you talk to ten different musicians you would get ten different answers as to what they prefer. It may be based on musical styles, playability, portability, cost, or any combination of these.


I have played many different amps, guitars, and effects over the years. I have heard even more musicians play and use more equipment then I could every try. I have learned that it simply comes down to what is best suited for the individual player and what they are trying to achieve.


​There is one common thread that I have seen among most musicians, they all seem to be continually looking to improve on their performance and their sound. I personally believe that is the mark of a true artist!

Bose L1 model 2


I use this system for all my  gigs. I play all my acoustic guitars through it as well as my archtops and solid body guitars. It gives them a wonderful clean natural full range sound. It has a 180 degree sound radius, so no volume loss. I do not use the Bose audio engine. I have a Helix by Line 6  that gives me a full array of sound shaping and effects.


You have to try one of these to hear how amazing your guitars can sound!
