The Grammy-winning guitarist shows off his Elliott guitars, a well-designed pedalboard, and his old-school, dual-amp approach.
There’s a distinct philosophy behind how Shirley builds his pedalboard: gain, modulation, then delays and reverbs. His board was built by Creation Music Company and holds a Greer Lightspeed, JHS SuperBolt, Walrus Audio 385, JHS Bun Runner, Walrus Audio Julia, Cusack Tremolo AME, Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay, JHS Panther Cub Delay, Matthews Effects Astronomer, and a Radial JX-2 Pro Switchbone for switching between his amps. A Walrus Audio Phoenix 15 sits underneath and provides the power.
