GT: If you had to give up all your pedals but three, what would they be?
JJN: I cannot live without overdrive! I NEED IT. The first and foremost pedal would be an Ibanez Tube Screamer, the foundation of my tone. I always have a TS on while playing. Second would be another one of my all-time favourites, a Tychobrahe Octavia. This is by far the rudest screamer fuzz I have ever played. Whenever I need the extra push off of the cliff, I’ll hit this one on. Imagine a swarm of bees and a grizzly bear combined. It’s scary! Lastly, I would have to pick a Univibe. I love the texture and throb of the Univibe. It makes me feel as if my guitar is breathing and alive. When I am playing in my trio it adds a whole different dimension.
GT: Do you play another instrument well enough to do so in a band, and if so, have you ever done it?
JJN: Believe it or not,
