~ GUITAR GEAR ~

I’m occasionally asked what kind of guitar gear I use:

I play Tom Anderson guitars, through a digitech 2120 artist effects processor (no longer made), a Lexicon Jam-Man (no longer made), a Line 6 POD amp simulator, a Haffler P3000 studio monitor power amp, coming out a custom made spherical speaker. I’ve tried to update the gear that is no longer made but I keep coming back to the gear that produces “my sound” until it all breaks and I’m forced to move on.
