We’ve recently been asked a bunch about the gear that our musicians use. Because we’ve got so many different players, all with different gear, it’s kind of a hard question to tackle. But I thought I’d start by posting a few of the different amps that our guys play through.
The standard amp, that the majority of our guys use is Fender. Blues Deluxe. Blues DeVille. Hot Rod Deluxe. These are all pretty classic amps that aren’t crazy expensive.
Other amps that are used are Dr. Z’s. Maz-18, Prescription, and Stangray.
We’ve also got guys that use Badcats and Matchless amps…
I know this is a broad variety, and so much of the tone is determined by other factors, but I hope this gives you a starting point.
Dude, if you guys are gonna dip into the gear you gotta show us what types of guitars and pedals you are combining with those. Maybe you could feature a different player every week or something, but it’s always interesting to see what other guys are using for their setup.
@Josh – Yeah, we’re going to post that stuff eventually too… just didn’t want a single post that was a few pages long, haha. We’ll be posting effects and guitars in the coming weeks.
I am more interested in what equipment you guys use to trigger loops and what software to create…
“just didn’t want a single post that was a few pages long”
.. but we do
@Scotty – We use Reason, Logic, and Pro Presenter. Nothing too fancy.
@Dave – we’ll get there. haha.
ahh.. mesa can’t get no love…
@Walker – not in the house of God they can’t.
Thanks so much for this post, really looking foward to the new album.
Hey, thanks for your ministry and how you are striving to extend the Kingdom of God with your musical gifts. I have just a couple questions. I would like to know more about the drums you use and more how you get such a nice fat tone out of them (mics or triggers). Also just out of curiosity what is the deal with not allowing mesa in the house of God. I don’t care much either way, just wondering the reasoning. Thanks.
@JRowe – We’ll post something soon about drums/mics, and try to go into detail about other gear we use. As for the Mesa comment – That was joke.
Mack – do you have a general idea where this stuff will be posted online?
