I could have dreamed it but I thought there was a guitar player magazine in which he was on the cover. There was a short list of gear used at that time. (like 2000 plus or minus 3 years). I would love to have a list of gear (especially keys) known to be used by P over the years with ref, to songs they appear on. | |

Here's a list of Stompboxes he has used & still uses today. This is my research from the pictures I have seen of his set up & from when I have seen him perform.

You will need a VERY good tech to modify to P specs. For an alternate I would suggest a Rickenbacker 330/360. | |

He has a very modest taste in effects for such a big starlet. (Boss / Behringer(!?) - altough the age-old Zoom 9030 takes the cake) | |

When I saw him in '06 he was actually using a Bass Crybaby Wah pedal. It gives him a good low end with his Wah sound..  "I will touch thee in the softest manner...like Europa in the hands of Santana"

[Edited 6/10/08 8:37am] there is a part on Live in Vegas were you can see his pedals i think its when he acts like his guitar is dying and lays it on the ground by them and this pic looks like the set up | |

Always been a lover of the Boss Flanger pedal (I used to put my Linn sample-loaded sampler thru it back in the day) but would love 2 get my hands on a Blues Driver for my guitar and an OC-2 Octave mainly for my Bass. 'dre Talking of basses, have you got your acoustic bass yet? | |
