	This is absolutely the coolest instrument I've ever owned. Playability is outstanding, and tonal flexibility and range are terriffic. The birdseye maple neck is unfinished and soft to the touch. Feels good in the hand. It looks pretty cool too, nice details in the headstock and the body shape is smooth, egonomic and subtly distinctive. Another great feature is it stays in tune. A great Floyd Rose with an Eddie Van Halen invented Drop-D tuner feature (the d-tuna). Pull the knob on the low E string and tuning drops down a step. Then pop it back in place and you're back to standard. I have two, the high end carved top and the budget "special" flat top that I use as a backup guitar. I'd get yet another but that's starting to get neurotic. More up-close and personal of my wolfy. Other guys who play Wolfgangs. Back

	Very cool looking and playing acoustic electric. A very nice 80s mojo. Back

	The Marshall TSL100 head, with a Marshall 1960av and 1960lead 4x12 cabinets. Hey, it's a full stack, it kicks ass, no kidding. I am a re-convert to full on tube sound. This amp has 4 EL34's that give it a nice warm, round, slightly compressed sound. Great screaming lead distortion, excellent excellent rhythm crunch, and clear crisp clean tones. It's a three channel amp and the channels really are indepenent. It's the best most flexible amp I've owned so far. It listens and plays well with the HP Special. I was shopping around for a replacement for my JSX, which is in the shop for the 4th time. I tried a Mesa triple rectifier, too harsh. I have a Marshall tsl-601 combo that I use for practice and it sounds pretty good, so I thought I'd give the ead a shot. Brilliant! Not cheap, $1300, but worth it.
	This picture shows my full rig; Amp, speakers, wireless & power conditioner (in rack), floorboard, and my new HP Special.
	Here's the rig packed up for a gig.
	Here's my rig with my Partner Terri dressing it up a bit. Now THAT kicks ass! We have a wager on how many people will notice this pic. If you do ...email me.

	My Custom Floorboard
	Custom Floorboard. A really great stomp box pedal board. Vox Wah DMC Ground Control Pro I built this myself out of plywood covered with amp carpet. The controller and Wah are wire-tied to the board. I use the GCX to to amp switchhing, midi program change on the Lexicon, and put the tuner and and out of the loop. Back

	Rack Box Gear
	My outboard effects etc sit in a 6 space anvil rack box. I run the Lexicon MPX200 through the amps effects loop. From top to bottom: * Power conditioner/distribution * Korg tuner * Lexicon MPX 200 * Ground Control switcher * X-Wire Wireless receiver. Back

	Marshall TSL 601 amp Triple super lead in a swiss army knife package. I use this as a practice amp at rehearsal. I can leave it there and not have to lug the Peavey/4x12 rig. It's really amazing, three channels, all tube, 1x12 amp. It's nice and loud and has a nice smooth Marshall sound. Terri got it for me for Xmas. What a girl! Back

The X-Wire digital wireless transceiver system. I tried a lot of systems and read the literature. This thing is ahead of its time. No compander ciruitry, full frequency response, and 20-bit digital resolution. A lot of top level pros use this thing, Satriani to name one, so it must be good, right? I got it used from EMI Sound in Minneapolis, it was a rental. It's in great shape and works perfectly. The only downside is that X-wire, Inc. went out of business last year. The silver lining is that Sennheiser picked up the patents and support. Sennheiser just came out with a digital system but for some reason the specs aren't as good. Back

	My recording setup. ProTools LE, dual monitors, Digi002. Back

	The Digidesign user interface for ProTools LE. Motorized faders and an inhumanly clear, clean sound. Great control, and it's a stand alone mixer too. Back

	The Alesis DM-Pro drum module. Digital drum sound module. Back

	The Washburn EA-20 Electric / Acoustic guitar. Fast neck, clear, warm sound. Records really well. Back

	The Alesis QS-6 Synthesizer. A great all around studio synth. Lots of great presets, including drum and percussion, as well as deep programming ability. Easy intuitive MIDI control makes it a good sequencing sound module too. Back

	The Yamaha DX-100 Synthesizer. A great mini-key synth. Basic 4 operator synthesis that the DX-7 made famous. This is getting to be a vintage unit with somthing of a cult following. You can hear some of it's unique sound effects on a lot of records. Buckwheat Zydeco uses "Ghosties" on one of his tunes. I like the Bass sounds. Easy intuitive MIDI control makes it a good sequencing sound module too. Back

	The Digitech Vocalist. An amazing vocal processor. Great for vocal thickening, harmonizing, reverbing, etc.. It makes my voice sound gooder. This is a trade secret so don't tell anybody. Back

	The JBL Control 5 studio reference monitors. A nice honest 2-way studio monitor. If it sounds good through these it will sound good on the home stereo or the car cassette deck. They crank too. Back

	Yamaha midi router. A no nonsense 8x8 router with memory settings. Yamaha homepage. Back

	The AMR, Audio Media Research, PMA 200. A 200 watt power amp. No fan, so it's very quiet. Fairly reliable, it's been in the shop once to repair a blown transistor. Big and rugged with plenty of headroom. A division of Peavey. AMR homepage. Back

	The Tascam PA-150 studio reference monitor. A 150 watt power amp w/cooling fan. I use this for powering my PA monitor system. I used to use it for my rack guitar rig (back when I had a rack guitar rig). tascam homepage. Back

	The Tascam PB32R patch bay. What can you say about a patch bay? Tascam homepage. Back

	The old standby's. I use the '57 and the '94 for recording acoustic guitar. The '58 for recording vocals. And the '94 for recording vocals. Back
