Ken’s pedal platform is a DIY IKEA Gorm. “It’s a bit of a bird’s nest, but I’m frequently swapping pedals in and out, experimenting with the order of things, and generally trying to pare things down,” he says. “There always seems to be another pedal out there calling my name.” His current pedal pathway: Mooer Pure Boost, Empress Compressor and ParaEQ, Ernie Ball volume pedal, Banzai Fireball II, Providence Flame Drive, Mojo Hand Colossus, DigiTech iStomp (for octave effects), Strymon Mobius, EarthQuaker Devices Dispatch Master, DigiTech JamMan. The Strymon El Capistan, blueSky, and Brigadier reside in the amp’s effects loop.
