Info:

  • Abercrombie has been using this setup for the past 15 years. He sets the volume on his amps low, and the volume on the EQ high, so he gets a lot of level out of the amps, but with less noise. Abercrombie uses the Boss SE-50 for delay, reverb, and chorus, and splits the signal into two amps. He likes to use two different amps at the same time (A Roland and a Mesa/Boogie for live performances).
