Primary Guitar

Steve's main guitar is a Jackson DK2 Eerie Dess Swirl that he got second hand around 2006/2007. Within a few months, Steve replaced the original humbucker pickup with a Duncan Performer Detonator. Very little research went into that change, it was done to give the guitar a more custom look.

Effect Pedal Collection

Keely Octa Psi Transfigurating Fuzz

This pedal was purchased in 2026 as a refurbished item. This matte black pedal provides a fuzz effect and/or a pitch effect that Steve was looking to have for years. The pedal has two foot activation switches that activate the pitch effect and fuzz effect independently.

DigiTech XHP Hyper Phase

This pedal was purchased in 2006 as a refurbished item. This metallic gray-blue phaser pedal is discontinued and currently has an issue where the bypass (which is buffered, not analog) mutes the output, but the pedal still works when active.

Dunlop GCB-95 Cry Baby

Currently Steve's only pedal with foot-controlled variability. He doesn't use this pedal on recordings much; it mostly adds a fun way to augment guitar solo stuff. Purchased as new in 2007.

Behringer UC100 Ultra Chorus

A cheap pedal purchased in 2006 to add a chorus effect before acquiring an amp with the effect built-in. It's fine, and has since been discontinued. The sticker on the bottom has come off so the date code and serial number are unknown now.

Behringer UD100 Ultra Distortion

Steve's first amplifier had a distortion tone he liked, but he knew pedals provide tone options and this budget pedal was a good way to test that. Made in China, bought in 2006. Serial number N0515574434, date code 0507.

Controls:

Danelectro FAB Overdrive

Layering distortion and overdrive gives a lot of rough sound options. This budget-friendly pedal is made in China and bought in 2006.

Controls:

Danelectro FAB Flanger

Steve wasn't sure what the difference between a phaser and a flanger was when buying this, but was already in posession of the (working at the time) XHP Hyper Phase pedal. This budget-friendly pedal is made in China and bought in 2006.

Mixing Board

A mixing board that hasn't been used much. This Behringer XENYX 1204 is not the modern USB version.
