'84 Valley Arts 00-Acoustic

Ampsetup:
2 x Dumble Special Overdrive Amps
(one as backup)
1 x Dumble 12" Cabinet

On tour, Carlton still uses his trusty ES-335 through his custom Dumble Super Overdrive amplifier that he has owned for over fifteen years.

One interesting aspect of his live rig is the addition of the Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO. He mics his Dumble with a Shure SM57 that sends the dry guitar signal into his Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO.

This signal is fed into his effects processors that are connected via the mixer’s aux sends, and the effected signal is then sent to a pair of powered JBL stage monitors. "The tone of my reverb is from a microphone on my speaker, rather than preamp out," Carlton reveals. "I'm treating my Mackie as a mixer just like I would in the studio––so that my effects (a reverb and a chorus) get hit with the sound of a microphone."

Effectboard with Show-Bud Volume, Dunlop Wah and new Korg DTR-2000 orchestral tuner. (Visit www.korg.com for more information)
