So now, even if you had access to an
actual Dumble, you’d still be using the
Two-Rock?
Yeah. With the latest stuff Two-Rock has
been putting out, I’m, like, totally done
with gear. I’ve got the Two-Rock and the
4x10 cab with the Eminence Ragin Cajuns,
and they work every night—they never
blow up. And I’ve got my two pedals—the
Klon [Centaur] and the Mad Professor
Deep Blue delay. I’m not even looking for
gear anymore.
Is there any other gear you’re really
ecstatic about?
I have my own signature set of Curt
Mangan nickel-wound stings, and they’re
the best strings ever for me. They sound
great, and I haven’t broken a single string
since I started using them. I’ve even been
able to go back to using vintage-style steel
saddles on my guitars, which I much prefer
the tone of over graphite “string-savers.”
There are two cover songs on the album.
How did you choose those?
