Last Saturday Brad Paisley came to town. We went up to hang out a bit and talk gear to Brad, Chad, Jody and Gary and I took some pics. Keep in mind, this is after the huge Nashville flood, so all the gear is brand new.

As you can imagine, ALOT of Dr. Z amps, A vox ac30, rack stuff (click HERE to learn about the specifics of the rack stuff), new Crook Guitars (LOVE THEM!)... and pedals! I talked to Brad quite a bit about the current "Brad Paisley" Signature Overdrive prototype we are working on. Brad's loving it - he told me it replaced his Zendrive. I gave him another proto that is flavored a bit different to see which he likes better, this one with a 3 band eq. Brad's current touring board has these pedals:
wampler pedals ego comp
wampler pedals analogecho
wampler pedals"brad paisley overdrive" prototype
mxr phase 90
aquapuss delay
boss delay
maxon delay
keeley/ibanez ts9

Sometimes the Maxon delay is replaced by another one of our analogecho's.
