“Ciao!” says Francesco Villa from Italy. His signal goes like this: Dunlop Volume Pedal, Fulltone Octafuzz, Line 6 FM4 (and a Boss EV-5), DigiTech Whammy, Budda Wah, Korg Pitchblack, Fulltone Distortion Pro (sometimes Fulltone OCD), VDL Professional Analogics Loverdrive, VDL Tremolo, VDL Boost (“Awesome Italian pedals, you'll find them in Carl Verheyen pedalboard”), Boss RT-20, Line 6 DL4 (and a Boss EV-5) then into a THD BiValve. “All of this for a loud trio of 1/3 funk, 1/3 jazz, 1/3 everything else,” Villa says.
