GT: Do you have a type of pick that you can’t live without?
JD: I play with .60 grade Jim Dunlop picks because I can hold them in the palm of my picking hand. I play with my fingers a lot to get the tones I need.
GT: If you had to give up all your pedals but three, what would they be?
JD: If I could only keep three pedals it would be an original tube tape Echoplex and the stock Reverb/Tremelo pedal from my 1966 Fender Reverb.
GT: Do you play another instrument well enough to do so in a band? If so, have you ever done it?
