Hi everybody I’m Scott Henderson and I’m just gonna real briefly go through what I’m using for gear.
OD-100 head by Bob Bradshaw (custom shop) designed by John Suhr
I´m using the RC-Booster. This I´m using for, you know, my clean sound and slightly overdriven and also using it with channel two of the amp.
This is I´m using for thar fast leslie rotary speaker sound. It used to be black but i painted it green and… (yes)

This I´m using, you know, for regular chorus.
i use this tubescreamer mainly for rythm pickup stuff. idon´t like the tubescreames so much on the treble pickup, it´s a little bit midrangy.

If i’m gonna use both pickups or all three pickups i usually use this pedal. And if i’m gonna stick just with the rythm pickup i usually use the tubescreamer.
That’s basically it.. pretty simple setup, actually

how do you like the Ooh Wah from Zvex?
well it’s great. I don’t solo with it. But i just use it for little parts and there’s a couple song where its able to fit at the end.
The thing with effects like this… you have to be kinda carefull where you put ‘em in songs, you know, so.. i found a good place for it

Mainly, you know, my main sound… I actually use the RC Booster quite a bit because it’s very transparent. I don’t hear that it changes the tone of the guitar… tone of the signal of that much.

Aaa.. that’s my normal clean sound… when i boost it…. no, it’s got a real nice fat tone… treble up a little bit so it sounds better… nice and fat…
That’s just the amp with a booster, thats all, the clean channel of the amp.
If I want a really overdriven sound sometimes i use the booster with the distorsion channel of the amp and i get even more gain.
That’s even a bigger, you know, fat and candy tone.
That’s just the booster by itself….. without it…… and with it……
Yeah, really nice sound… it’s a really great pedal. No much without it…

The main thing for me is that it doesn’t change the tone of the guitar. It doesn’t have it’s own sound, ir’s really tranparent
whereas before i was using MXR Micro Amp wich has a lot of bass frequency so when i would play down here on the neck i woukd get kind a lot of speeding and kinda furthing from the amp like buh! buh!, you know, because theres too much bass. And with the MXR you can’t dial off the bass. And if I lower the bass on my amp then all the other pedals suffer because of that. So, when you are using a lot of pedals like i am the pedal have to kinda fit into the family, you know what i mean, because if one pedal is EQ radically different from the other pedals that’s not good. So what i’m doing on the rc booster is i’m just using the treble pretty much flat but i’m taking the bass down this much, you know, and in that way it fits into the rest of my pedals really nicely.

There’s some other really nice boosters out there that i like… i like the Beano Boost that AnalogMan makes and i like the Dyna-Ranger thar Divided By 13 makes but the problem with those is they are good recording boost but live i’ve had a problem with too many in-transistors because they tend to pickup noise an pickup radio stations and stuff like that. So they don’t work as good in my rack as the RC does. Right now the RC is the only booster i’ve found that doesn´t change the tone of the guitar that just adds a real nice sweet gain and, that all, also you are able to EQ a little bit.

MOGAMI CABLE:

I like it a lot. I think there’s a lot of people out there making like… really boutique cables like Evidence cables are really great,
some of the Master cables OK but… what i found is that most of the cable is really high grade, with wich what you’re doing is
you’re taking away capacitance from the sound. It can get to a point where if you take too much of the capacitance away it’s like
not playing with a cable at all or it’s compared to either using a wireless or usin a EMG pickups where there’s no compucidence …. cable
and some people like the sound, some people don’t. For me, when you take su much midrange out of the tone it starts not to sound like a guitar
, you know, you get a completely different thing. May sound very good when the guitar is by itself but when you put it in tracks with facing drums
it tends to dissapear because there’s not enough mids to make it cut through the rest… through the tracks, you know. So that’s why I haven’t really
dicided to change my whole cable setup (because i did, you know). Basically what i do is, I just use a very short line. Because when you use a very large cable
like over ten feet or fiveteen feet then, to my ears, it gets too midrangy. So I just use a really short cable and that’s enough of the midrange cut for me without haven to…
(…)
twenty five, twenty four, yeah. And the whole rack is wired with it and I think it’s what most people use nowadays.

I don’t wanna say ther’s anything bad about the other cable ’cause I’ve tried som Evidence cable and I found the bass to be way more puchy, you know,
way clear in the low end. I also found the high notes to be fatte. But the midrange of the guitar I didn’t think it sounded as good as this. You know.
So there’s always a trade off. So i just decided to stick with what i’ve got and if i get into a recording situation where i’ve to play some fast low notes
I might switch in using an Evidence cable for just all that part, you know. Or if i have to play something upway appear I wanted to be ridiculously fat
maybe i’ll use other cable but, you know, for live this is my favourite.

Robotalk – AC Booster:

The Robotalk is great. It’s just one of the pedals that has a distinct sound and it’s not the kind of pedal i think you can just turn on and use when you want to.
It needs to be figured out where a tune, where is really used well. And I’m gonna do that eventually is write a tune arround that… arround the sound of that pedal.
‘Cause i haven’t figured out a song we play with fits right, you know, but eventually I will do that. I promise….

The AC Booster I find to be a nice fat distortion pedal but very compressed. So if you play blues or if you play that kinda style where you want a lot of dynamics
on your playing… loud notes to be loud and soft notes to be soft i prefer the SD-9. But if you’re playing humbuckers and you’re not… and you’re picking soft and
you’re going for more the Holdsword type legato sound where everything is very even then it’s a great pedal.
