Every player builds their rig like a craftsman shaping tone from tradition and instinct. For me, it all begins with two hubs — the BOSS RC-10R and the EHX Tri Parallel Mixer. Together, they serve as the nerve centre of my setup: rhythm, routing, and the freedom to explore multiple sonic identities through dedicated signal chains, each paired with its own amp.
🎵 Love Notes — Fender Pro Junior IV
The “Love Notes” chain captures the essence of expressive drive — dynamic, tactile, and unapologetically vintage at heart.
- Way Huge® Green Rhino™ Overdrive MKIV — A flexible overdrive that tightens lows and enhances midrange bloom, offering everything from subtle grit to classic roar.
- VOX Cooltron Bulldog Distortion — Tube-driven aggression with unmistakable British edge — think jangly bite with a refined snarl.
- H.B.E. Mimic Mock I — An analog delay that adds warmth and subtle repeats for depth and dimension.
- Danelectro Cool Cat Tremolo — Vintage amplitude modulation with a smooth, musical pulse — the perfect closer.
Together, this rig sings through the Fender Pro Junior IV, a no-nonsense tube amp that rewards nuance and touch.
💚 Emerald Room — Blackstar HT-1R MkII
Emerald Room is the sound of texture — lush, layered, and occasionally feral.
- ThorpyFX Team Medic — A tone-sculpting clean boost and EQ designed to enhance, not overpower.
- EHX Green Russian Big Muff Pi — Fuzz that’s thick, sustaining, and unapologetically green — the backbone of many legendary tones.
- Black Country Customs Secret Path — A reverb pedal steeped in atmosphere, evoking the moody shimmer of vintage spring and plate units.
Driven through the Blackstar HT-1R MkII, this setup moves from haunting ambience to saturated bloom with effortless grace.
🎸 Bass Chops — ZT Lunchbox LBG2
Compact, efficient, and purpose-built, Bass Chops channels groove through minimalist means.
- Mosky Beta Ultra — A modern preamp and drive that infuses warmth, presence, and just the right amount of hair to make any bassline come alive.
Paired with the ZT Lunchbox LBG2, this setup proves that great tone doesn’t require bulk — just intent.
🔥 Amber Forge — Orange Crush Mini + PPC108
A true grab-and-go powerhouse, Amber Forge blends portability with surprising tonal muscle.
- Valeton GP-5 — A multi-effects processor that covers everything from amp modeling to modulation — the Swiss Army knife of compact rigs.
Running into the Orange Crush Mini and PPC108, it’s the perfect marriage of convenience and classic British grit.
The Heart of the System
At the core of it all lies the BOSS RC-10R and EHX Tri Parallel Mixer — the performance command centre that ties every rig together. This modular approach lets each signal chain shine independently, while keeping the workflow streamlined and stage-ready.
It’s a setup that celebrates both heritage and flexibility — proof that tone isn’t just about pedals and amps, but about how you connect them, and ultimately, how you play them.
