Like most guitarists, Stewart has a pile of pedals in and out of rotation—everything from vintage Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress flangers to new Ibanez minis. His current pedalboard, which is powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 and was built by Marc VanGool, holds a Dunlop GCB95 Cry Baby wah, a Texas Tremodillo (built by César Díaz), a MXR EVH Phase 90, a TC Electronic Mojo Overdrive, a TC Electronic PolyTune, a T-Rex Replica, and a Blackstone Mosfet Overdrive. Everything except the wah is routed through a Voodoo Lab Pedal Switcher.

Fender Mark Speer Stratocaster Review

Fender Mark Speer Stratocaster Review

Khruangbin is a band that moves freely in negative space. They don’t deal in negative vibes, mind you, but the spaces in between objects—or in music, between notes and tones. In Khruangbin’s case, negative space isn’t quite as empty as it seems. In fact, a lot of it is colored with reverberated overtones, which is an aesthetic well suited to Mark Speer’s instrument of choice. Because if you want to color negative space without being a space hog, there are few better means than a Stratocaster.

Darkglass Electronics is a bass player’s company. And like many bass-centric brands, they sometimes seem determined to ensure that guitar players aren’t the only ones having fun when it comes to amps and effects. If that’s true, the DSP-driven Anagram may be their most impressive form of revenge yet.
