Pedal Line Friday – 6/4 – Tony Rawson

Today’s pedal line is from Tony Rawson. If you have a pedal line (doesn’t have to be in a board) for your rig, please email me a photo, bio, description of pedals and routing to pedalline@nulleffectsbay.com. Every Friday I’ll showcase a pedal line submission. Make sure you include any links to your band or music page.

Hi, My name is Tony, I play in a band called ‘the soul patrol’, we play atlantic soul, motown & 70’s disco tunes.. www.thesoulpatrol.com here is my pedalboard :

1: Vox Wah (around 15 years old but still sounds great, have tried various others like the fulltone clyde, budda but this seems to work for me)
2: MXR Custom audio line driver (just to add a little boost)
3: Keeley compressor (nice sounding comp but will probably soon be replaced by the Rothwell ‘love squeeze’ which i was blown away with)
4: Fulltone OCD (normally use this on the LP setting for a warm OD sound)
5: Keeley baked mod TS808 (great tubescreamer! – pushes the amp a little)
6: Barber direct drive (love this! – my main pedal for solo’s on a medium gain setting)
7: Boss TU-12H (after 20 years, my original TU12 packed up so this is the replacement)
8: Ernie Ball Volume pedal
9: Divided by 13 Highball (Fred makes great amps and pedals.. check em out! – this gives a bit more grit if i need it)
10: TREX Fuel tank – Powers the pedals!
11: Seymour duncan tweak fuzz (Full on dirty fuzz, love it!)
12: Line6 MM4 (only really use the phase 90 setting and sometimes a slight chorus)

The pedals all run into a custom made true bypass looper, patched with Georgle L’s into my Divided by 13 SJT10/20 head & cab flightcase is from www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk
