Greg's Guitars:
Greg currently uses 3 main guitars.
a white 1971 Strat strung fairly heavily 11,14,18,36,46,60 and tuned down a half step to E flat.This is the main guitar used as the single coil tone suits a lot of the blues/rock material.
the old faithful 1972 Tele Thinline which has been used live for years and features on many original recordings.The original bridge pickup was changed to a Seymour/Duncan soon after purchase and the neck pickup is original.This guitar is strung with TNT's 10-52.
Epiphone 1958 Flying V Korina Wood re-issue .I've replaced the pickups with Gibson 57's and it sounds creamy and fat just like a classic early Gibson.
Greg's Amps and Effects:
Most shows I use an early 70's Fender Twin which sounds amazing and for outdoor concerts I run an early 70's Fender Dual Showman with 15" EV speakers together with the Twin using an ART Coolswitch AB box switching system.
I still have my early 70's Marshall JMP head and Celestion box which gets used occasionally.This amp features on most early recordings and live shows.The live at Belmont record had a ridiculously loud 3 amps all running simultaneously.
The Marshall JMP, Fender Twin and a Mesa Boogie.I ran the Boogie and Twin together then ran that combo and the Marshall into a stereo chorus to get it all working together.I used the stereo chorus effect a lot more in the 80's.
Effects are all analogue and include:
Boss Blues Driver BD-2,Boss Digital Delay DD-3,Boss Guitar Graphic Equaliser GE-7(used as a fairly clean pre-amp), an old Tube Driver from Tube Works USA,Boss Tuner GT-12,Cry Baby Wah Wah pedal and an old Mister Cry Baby wah wah that has a great overdrive switch that I just use as a pre-amp because of the tone.
I've been known to use a bit of Ibanez Flanger FL-9 and Chorus but only sparingly and I occasionly use a black Boss Metal Zone MT-2 for that modern High-gain sound when needed.
This array of pre-amps enables me to get anything from clean tones to Jimi Hendrix thru to Pantera if I want but I tend to stay in classic rock overdrive rather than metal tones which I find too mushy and unclear for my taste.
