After a long period (over three years more or less), I’ve completely updated my pedal boards. While some of them have had minor changes, others have been drastically reworked or arranged for new projects. Let’s start!.

I’m currently playing with three different bands. Each one has its own guitar, amp & FX setup as follows: 1 amp, 2 guitars (each one has a different tuning) and 3 pedal boards per band (I tag them “I”, “II” and “III”). What I usually do is trying different combinations – a total of six possibilities per band.

This is what I use when I play with “ZARAPOLIS” (pop-rock, similar to U2, Pink Floyd, and some 80’s and 90’s bands). I use a pair of modified Jazzmasters with D Standard and C Standard tuning:
