A Pedal Board Designed For Both Electric & Steel Guitar
We got tagged on our Facebook Page by Luke Cyrus Goetze who had made this video of his superb lap steel skills using our Cali76-CD. We were so impressed with Luke’s tone that we contacted him for details on his rig and fortunately he replied with a photo and lots of information!Signal chain:
-> Moog MF Chorus
-> Origin Effects Cali76-CD
-> JHS Moonshine
-> JHS Muffuletta
-> Fulltone OCD
-> Strymon Riverside
-> Lehle Mono Volume
-> Strymon Timeline
-> Strymon Flint
I’m powering the board with a Strymon Zuma, which gives me the great opportunity to run the Cali76 and the OCD on 18 volts. I switched out the Lava cables for Evidence Audio SIS patch cables. Pricey, but a joy to put together, and apparently they’re very failsafe.
I then either go into a Fender ’64 Vibroverb Custom (15 inch speaker), or a Fender Princeton that I modded with a 12 inch Celestion Greenback. I usually go for the Princeton, because most of my bands thankfully have a very moderate stage volume.The guitars are:
Steels:
-Duesenberg Fairytale, with an added Lollar Supro Replica pickup
-1949 Oahu Diana
-1954 Supro Lap Steel (I’m not sure if that one has a name)
Guitars:
-1966 Epiphone Riviera (If I got to keep only one, that would be it)
-1964 Fender Jaguar
-1957 Danelectro U2
-Fender Custom Shop 1960 Strat
-Fender Road Worn Telecaster with added Mastery Bridge and Kloppmann Pickups (Really gives the expensive Strat a hard time :))
I have a few more that live in the studio, but those 5 are the ones that come out the most.
And here are some of my bands, you probably won’t know any of them. Most of them have lyrics in German, I think as an American living in Germany I can’t stand singers singing in English with a German accent :)
–Xavier Darcy
–Claudia Koreck
–Dreiviertelblut
All the best, and cheers for reaching out!
