Here is a recently completed, no-frills pedalboard we did for Los Angeles rock royalty/fellow gear nerd/all-around great dude/L.A. Guns founder Tracii Guns!! In preparation for a packed itinerary of touring, Tracii needed something simple and bulletproof that would still provide him with a couple of crucial routing options. Typically, Tracii is playing
through his own amps that HE builds, which provide the lion’s share of his gain. His relatively straightforward pedal selection has been curated primarily for subtle boost and tone shaping in addition to the “classics”: MXR Phase 90 & EVH Flanger, and trem & analog delay supplied by a pair of super cool Tru-Fi stomps. From there, he has the option to run straight into his amp via a custom-built switchable interface with post-effects in a mono or stereo configuration via the Hotline Ampero II Stomp, or use the
preamp section of the Friedman IR-X with no cab IRs. A compact and versatile rock delivery system! Do yourself a favor and catch Tracii and L.A. Guns on tour this summer. You’re guaranteed to have a great time!!
