1.Dunlop GCB95 Cry Baby Wah — Always ON — parked toe-down position adds subtle nasal midrange coloration.
2.Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter — Phase shifting for movement and texture.
3.Boss DS-1 Distortion — Distortion fully down — used purely as a clean boost.
4.MXR Dyna Comp Mini — Always ON — evens dynamics.
5.Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb — Always ON — Spring setting for vintage surf/psych reverb character.
Playing Technique
Pick: Jim Dunlop Green Tortex (.73mm). Light-moderate attack, very dynamic. Extensive volume/tone knob use. Flatwounds reduce brightness.
