I use the XTS Pegasus Boost into both my dirty amps, a Bogner Uberschall and a Diamond Spitfire II, and clean amps, a ’68 Fender Twin and Diamond Spitfire II. I prefer that the XTS Precision Overdrive goes into just the clean Diamond Spitfire II. I feel they add clarity and even out the high end so it’s not so shrill.
Just so, what pedals does 311 use?
Can you talk us through your signal chain?
- Boss OC-2 Octave.
- Digitech Whammy Ricochet (on Party board)
- Mu-FX Micro-Tron 3.
Also know, what pickups does Tim Mahoney use? Everything I try to go after when it comes to guitars and pickups is based on what I love in my ‘76 Gibson Explorer that has its original PAF pickups. Another guitar I use as a benchmark for tone is my early ’70s Fender Telecaster Deluxe with the Lover-designed Wide Range humbuckers.
Subsequently, when was the first 311 day?
On March 11, 2000, 311 began celebrating an unofficial holiday of their own creation, which they called 311 Day. The band chose the date because March 11 is written in the United States as 3/11. Every other year on March 11, the band performs an extended concert for thousands of their fans.
