This is all my solo stuff i do away from the band i play in.

Check out allied force

Here I would like to share with you some background history, pictures and a few sound files.

The technical stuff :My Boss GT6 pedal is the nerve centre for the different sounds I use. My main amp is a Marshall AVT50 watt head, I run this through a 400 watt 4x12 cab and a 150 watt 2x12 cab, I also use a Vox pathfinder for recording and at home, this is surprisingly powerful for a small amp. For live gigs I still prefer the wall of sound set up you get with a couple of stacks, but as some venue sizes dictate, its down a 1 amp/cab set up through the P.A.

My guitars at the moment are A Burns Red Special, A Dark Green Jackson p7, A Midnight blue PRS Santana SE, an Black Ibanez GRG270 I also have a Ibanez 6 string acoustic, and a Ibanez 6 string semi , a borrowed Fender Strat and, an SG (cheers Phillip) when I need them. My wish list has been whittled down to a small list, another PRS a few more Jackson's, any old Charvel I can find, Gibson the Paul, Gibson Black Beauty, Gibson Les Paul Standard, Gibson Flying V, Peavey Wolfgang. I hope to have a least one of these by the end of the year.

I also play a bit of keyboards and will include some sound samples as and when I record them, I have not played keyboards during a gig but there's always a first, at the moment we have a Technics keyboard that we are using in the studio and if things work out then we may add a Korg Triton to our equipment list
