My gear

On this page I will tell you a little about the things I use when making my songs, and when playing in the bands/projects. This page is kind of nerdy....

 

From left to right: My Ibanez electric, my new Boss GT-8 digital guitar processor, the Ramon Garcia nylon stringed acoustic

My Boss GT-6, used on all of my recordings so far

 

Opera steel-string

M-Audio Keystation 49E Midi Keyboard

M-Audio E-keys 37 Midi keyboard (handy travel size)

 

Vox AC30 CC1, guitar amplifier with classic sound (for live performances)

My main guitars these days, Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Les Paul, resting together on my balcony table...

Roland AC-60, 2-channel stereo amp for acoustic guitar and vocals. Used a lot for gigs with Susanne/Jordband. Very handy amp, but still with power. And sounds great with acoustic guitar.

Two Fender Frontman, small amps for practise and rehearsals and egen gigs. Input for audio so you can play lead to a background recording for example. I have two of these amps. On a small gig I use them in stereo, together with my Boss GT-8. The GT-8 has a function that can put a short delay on one channel to make the sound very big and full even though the amps are small and handy. Sounds great with nylon string guitar.
