Equipment

  • Guitars
  • Amplifiers:
    • Just as guitarist Dave Knudson has done, Jake switched to a Mesa Boogie Lonestar (although Jake's is a 1x12 special) with custom white Tolex (with the exception of the 2X12" extension cabinet) circa Planet of Ice
    • Fender Twin Reverb (used as rental abroad)
  • Effects pedals:
    • 3 x Line 6 DL-4s
    • BBE Green Screamer
    • Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer (No Longer Used Live)
    • Moog Moogerfooger MuRF
    • Maxon Phase Tone
    • Electro-Harmonix HOG Guitar Synthesizer with foot controller
    • Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Nano
    • Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb
    • Loop Master five switch system which acts as an effects loop, making the pedals true bypass and allowing Jake to switch between effects while singing without having to "tap dance".
    • Boss RC-2 Loop Station
    • Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner Pedal
    • FX Doctor-The Scalpel. Neat pedal which cuts the volume without losing tone.
    • Line 6 M13
