Foot Pedals

Floor pedals - The black Roland GR-33 Guitar Synth can be seen next to the Boss GT-3 Guitar multi effects unit. The Digitech VHM-5 MIDI-connected to produce 5 part vocal harmonies can be seen to the top left of the picture

Stage Rig

The business end of the rig (less the bass cabinets which are out-of-picture). It is recommended that seperate sound-systems (amp and speakers) are used for guitar and synth as each type of system has to deal with different frequencies. The guitar sound uses accentuated high and high-mid eq to produce 'that' guitar sound while the 'on-stage-PA' which I use here is capable of producing good bass responses for synth sounds

Mixer

The Yamaha EMX-5014E power mixer delivers an impressive stereo
500W + 500W and takes stereo signals from the GR-33 MIDI guitar synth and also stereo signals form the 2 Marshall DSL 40 40W valve guitar combos.

For amplification I use
2 Marshall DSL 401 40Watt valve combos each with a Celestion 12" Speaker providing a stereo image. These are DI'd into a Yamaha EMX-5014E 500W per channel 16 channel stereo mixer pumping sound into 2 Peavey SX 200 cabinets. This gives Kev a good punch and a lovely warm sound on stage but 2 Peavey SB200 bass cabinets are also added on larger gigs to increase the overall sound. The signal is also piped through 2 DI boxes and into the main PA

Kevs special Fender Strat Ultra plugs into a Boss GT3 multi-effects unit for distortions, choruses and delays then into a Boss RC-50 Loop station for on-stage guitar harmonies.

A Roland GR33 Guitar Synthesizer MIDI'd through to a Roland SC100 sound canvas is also connected to the Strat. This can simultaneously provide up to 24 different instruments on each of the guitar's 6 strings!

And if this were not enough, a Digitech VHM-5 harmonizer is also connected to both the vocal mic and the guitar synthesizer enabling up to 5 part vocal harmonies. This signal then goes though their own BOSS SE50 multi effects unit and into the main PA

Everything on the rig is completely cofigured for stereo sound and operation.
