Gear

This is some of the gear I have used live and in the studio. Some of it was borrowed, some I own. My live setup varies from night to night. Session work also varies depending on the track and what is needed. If you have a question about what I used
on a specific recording session or track (or even different live setups), PLEASE email me! I'm more than happy to talk some shop.

Please also realize that tone is about 70 percent from fingers. Put 4 great guitarist through the same amp and you'll get 4 different sounds. What someone uses as an amp or guitar is totally personal. Different players are comfortable with different rigs. When it comes down to it, you should be able to sound like YOU through almost anything. I am not a gear Nazi. For many years I used a red knobbed Fender Solid State amp, ART rack and an Ibanez 560. I used what I had and could afford to get my sound and it worked. I don't own any of those pieces anymore.

Steve Seropian at Accusound (508) 894-0004 (http://www.Accusoundcablecompany) is my main tone guy. I use his TS-808 mod, his killer high end"Accusound" guitar cables and he sets up my amps.

Roy Goode did a killer job with my Silverface Vibrolux. He has worked on some of my amps and modded a few, too. He's been really helpful with amp work and questions in the past. He is one of the best, a legend.

Jon Mouridian about Cambridge Music in Cambridge, MA does most of my guitar work.

David Kelber - davidguitars@gmail.com - mainly does guitar tech work for other Boston guitarists. But, has also bailed me out of more than a few guitar situations. He also makes time for setups and redid one of my Strats.
