Kirk Fletcher joins Pedalpocalypse, the video show from Guitar Player (and our sister sites MusicRadar and Guitar World) in which we ask guitarists: “If you could only take three pedals with you into a future lockdown, which ones would they be?”
It's not that much of a dilemma for Kirk Fletcher, he says: "I only use one or two pedals but the ones I use are really crucial."
"My style is really once removed from the blues greats that we all love – you know, like Albert King, BB King, Otis Rush and all those guys," says Kirk. "I have a little bit more of a 'singing tone' – it's almost like a 70s West Coast, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford – so I'll go for more of that."
To get it, he uses the Vemuram Jan Ray, the Line 6 DL4, and the TC Electronic HOF. "Reverb just kind of lifts the notes," he says. "It's kind of like this pillow, you know, that I can like crash into and it's like just makes everything more pillow-y like."
Pedalpocalypse is produced in LA by British guitarist Robin Davey and Growvision.
Kirk Fletcher's acclaimed new album Heartache By The Pound is out now.
