Luke has enough going on with his feet and knees when wrangling the Emmons, so he’s opted for this compact Steeler’s Choice SideKick. Its main function is a seat, but it also moonlights as a pedalboard that keeps his stomps within finger’s reach at all times. On his left are the drives (Wampler Ecstasy, Catalinbread Formula 55, and Paul Cochrane Timmy) and synths (Electro Harmonix C9 Organ Machine, Mel9, Synth9). Residing on his right side are the modulation and time-based workhorses (EHX 22500, Strymon BigSky, Mobius, TimeLine, and a TC Electronic Alter Ego). Everything is kept in check with the Sonic Research ST-300 Mini Stomp Box Strobe Tuner and all is brought to life by two Strymon Zuma power supplies (underneath the SideKick).
Rig Rundown: Luke Schneider
The hippie-cowboy pedal steeler for Orville Peck and Margo Price breaks out modulation mutators and synth stomps for a solo mission full of ethereal bends and sublime swells combining cosmic country and ambient new wave.
