Robben Ford

Given that Ford plays top-shelf guitars and amps, his tone doesn’t need much help in the pedal department. Ford uses a Vertex pedalboard designed by Mason Marangella in 2013. The board has gone through some changes, but now includes a Vertex I/O interface, a TC Electronic PolyTune Mini, a Vertex-modded Boss FV-500 volume pedal with expression control running out to a Vertex Boost, a Hermida Audio Zendrive, a Strymon TimeLine controlled by a Roland EV-5 Expression Pedal, a TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb, and (configured independently from the effects) a Dumble footswitch with pre-EQ boost and overdrive switches. Voodoo Lab’s Pedal Power Digital provides the juice.
