Tom uses a variety of guitars with differing pickup configurations.  Guitar brands include Gibson, Fender, PRS, Music Man, Carvin/Keisel, and a couple of oddballs.  He records directly into the board using a tube amp into a smart load box with a stereo line out.  This keeps the noise down inside Tom's Garage.  

​

Tom's primary amps are a PRS DGT 15 - a fine-sounding little 15-watt head - as well as an Egnater M4 4-preamp unit driving a Randall RT-2/50 power amp, and a Vox AC30.  The load box is a Boss Waza TAE Core.  Tom uses one of Boss's supplied Celestion speaker impulse response models, and to our ears it is indistinguishable from a live speaker.  It also allows Tom to monitor new guitar tracks and DAW mixes from the same monitor source.  Just like the grownups do.

​

During rehearsals Tom uses any number of effects but when tracking for a good mix, he records dry so that Ralph has a blank slate from which to work.
