Keith Urban
  
"Urbanуs gear is constantly changing, but when we caught up with him the first stompbox drawer in Urbanуs rack was loaded with a Demeter COMP-1 Compulator, a Wampler Ego Compressor, an Analog Man Juicer (which is a replica of Dan Armstrongуs vintage Orange Squeezer compressor), a Wampler Paisley Drive, and two Boss GE-7 graphic-equalizer pedals. A Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus powers all the stompboxes. The next drawer down featured an MXR Distortion III, a T-Rex Alberta overdrive, a B.K. Butler Tube Driver, and two Klon Centaur overdrives, all powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus. An adjacent rack featured a pedal drawer with an early-у80s Pro Co Rat, an MXR GT-OD overdrive, an XTS Custom Pedals Precision Overdrive, and a Boss CE-2 Chorus powered by another Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus."
