Pedal Line Friday – 3/10 – Dean Sabatino

Today’s Pedal Line Friday submission is from Dean Sabatino. 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.

Pedal Line Friday – 3/10 – Dean Sabatino

Hey there…

Here’s my insane monster pedal board. What makes this particularly ridiculous is that I’m mostly known as a drummer and I’ve been playing the tubs with The Dead Milkmen for 33 years. I only got my first electric guitar in 2005 (Tele 72 Custom reissue) and my first pedals about 3 years ago (the Moog Drive and Ring). As you can see I’ve collected a few more pedals. I also have a lovely 2016 Les Paul 60s Tribute that I made some cosmetic changes to.

I wanted pedals for the guitars but also for running synths through as I have released several instrumental solo albums on Bandcamp that I record in my home studio.

Pedalboard Signal Chain:

The Boss TU-3 is connected to the separate “Tuner Out” on the MVP and the little Strymon box is used as a “Favorite” switch on the El Capistan.

I also play in an instrumental band called “I Think Like Midnight”. We’re in the middle of recording our second album – we hope to have it out later in 2017.
