GT: Do you have a type of pick that you can’t live without?
EC: After chopping and changing for years I’ve settled on the Dunlop Tortex III. It’s like a standard Tortex pick but with the sharp point from the Jazz III. The point helps me when I’m doing faster runs but the Jazz III and even the Jazz III XL are just too small for the way I grip.
GT: If you had to give up all your pedals but three, what would they be?
EC: You’d have to fight me for them! My main rhythm tone comes from the J Rockett Archer pushing my amp so that’s number 1. My Xotic SP Compressor is an always-on type deal so that’s number 2. I’ve recently acquired a Mk1 Marshalla friend and that sounds epic in front of a clean amp, so I guess that’s three.
