Ted, mandolinist
with San Francisco's
Chazz Cats, a swing band, usually plays a Flatiron F5 Performer with
a Fishman piezo bridge through a Mesa Boogie Mark III—"a thunderous
combination" according to Ted. But he also plays this 5-string
Blue Star
Mandoblaster through a Digitech RP12, and recently acquired a Godin A8.
He writes: "I use a few toys now for fun that serve to add a wee bit of
flavor to the tone without stripping the general character of the
instrument. My rig goes A8 > ProCo Rat Distortion > DanElectro Chili Dog
(octave divider) > DanElectro Pepperoni (phaser) > TC Electronics
Chorus/Ring Modulator/Flanger > Ibanez Auto Filter (envelope) >
Alesis Nanoverb > Boogie Mark III."
