Gear loadout
The guitars, recording gear, cameras, lights and software I currently use for TabCore covers, lessons, videos and guitar tones.
Gear changes over time, so this page will be updated whenever the TabCore setup changes.
Choose a section from the loadout index.

Strings and picks
Currently using these on my Solar and Viper.
Been using these for ages now.
Audio, recording and guitar sound
For all the CKY stuff I use the Axe-Fx II Mark II. No pedals were used, ever, and all the effects come from this machine.
When I play other stuff besides the covers you see me do, I mostly use Neural DSP plugins.
The Axe-Fx II Mark II has become this thing I only use for the octave sound at this point.

Interface for voice.

Video setup
My current video setup is two Nikon ZR bodies. Everything in these videos is shot in Log3G10, R3D NE 12-bit.
My older videos were recorded with a Nikon Z6 and Atomos Ninja V. I shot everything in LOG profile.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is mostly used for some exclusive series on tabcorecovers.com.
