Equipment

Guitars

Gibson Les Paul Deluxe with two mini humbuckers

Gretsch Roundup early Japanese reissue with two Filtertron Pickups

Fender 1952 reissue Telecaster

Gibson Les Paul 295 Goldtop (April 2008 Guitar of the Month)

Amplifiers:

Just as guitarist Dave Knudson has done, Jake switched to a Mesa Boogie Lonestar (although Jake's is a 1x12 special) with custom white Tolex (with the exception of the 2X12" extension cabinet) circa Planet of Ice

Fender Twin Reverb (used as rental abroad)

Effects pedals:

3 x Line 6 DL-4s

BBE Green Screamer

Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer (No Longer Used Live)

Moog Moogerfooger MuRF

Maxon Phase Tone

Electro-Harmonix HOG Guitar Synthesizer with foot controller

Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Nano

Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb

Loop Master five switch system which acts as an effects loop, making the pedals true bypass and allowing Jake to switch between effects while singing without having to "tap dance".

Boss RC-2 Loop Station

Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner Pedal

FX Doctor-The Scalpel. Neat pedal which cuts the volume without losing tone.
