“I’m not a fan of using a ton of effects,” insists Brett Cosby, lead guitarist for the Glorious Unknown. “But over the years I’ve discovered the need to add to my board.” Brett’s signal chain: Dunlop Original Crybaby, MXR Zakk Wylde Overdrive, Noisemaker Soviet overdrive, MXR EVH Flanger, Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, TC Electronic Flashback delay, and a TC Electronic PolyTune, all powered by a Joyo Power Supply 2. “I am very picky about what goes into my board and mainly use amp distortion,” adds Brett. “I use the Wylde to boost my tone for solos, and the Soviet adds extra crunch for when I need just that little ‘chip’ on clean chords.”
