Utilizing Your Gear
I have spent the last 45 years in search of every possible guitar tone, using countless combinations of guitars, pickups, pedals, amplifiers, effects processors, etc. I gained valuable experience by working in the Pro Music Retail business for over 15 years. I focused on electric and acoustic instruments, amplifiers, pedals, effects processors and other various pieces of music gear. It is this vast experience that allows me to help you to get the maximum potential out of your gear.
