My Gear Collection

1998 · Made in Mexico

Got a sweet deal as a young 17 year old on this one. Added black knobs at some point in time... Can't get that tone otherwise, plays like a dream and sounds fantastic.

2016 · Satin Honey

A BEAST of a guitar. It's been on most of my Metallica covers. Bought it at 17 years old at a sick price discount working at Best Buy while in highschool.

1992 · Acoustic Guitar

My first ever guitar. My uncle Roger saw I was interested in playing and gave it to me. I was 14 years old, and I was hooked immediately. With the action at a foot high, my fingers could stop a bullet. This guitar has my first good 100+ hours of playing on it.

2013 · FGX700SC

My second ever guitar. My uncle Phil bought me this at Steve's Music in 2014 as my 15th birthday gift. My most played acoustic guitar. It's heard every tuning, seen all types of seasons, and always sounds like I want it to. Workhorse of a guitar.

Vintage Family Heirloom

This guitar his familiar with more than 10 fingers. I inherited it from my father, who inherited it from my grandfather when he passed. I'm very proud to own this guitar and play it for my family.

15W Combo

Compact, loud, and very Marshall. Everyone loves a Marshall, and this one caught my eye from watching "Sound Like..." videos from the Andertons Music Co channel.

Digital Amplifier

If you want to sound like a metal god, this is the amp for you. I use this for my metal tones and it sounds amazing. My go to for any Metallica sound.

20W Modeling Amp

My first "real" amp. I bought this in 2014 to replace my old practice amp. It was a big step up in tone and power. I still use it today to practice

Digital Audio Workstation

My main recording software. Reaper is powerful, stable, and doesn't break the bank. Perfect for recording guitar covers and original music.

Mobile Recording Device

Yes, really - I use my phone for most of my acoustic recordings! The iPhone 16 Pro has surprisingly good audio quality and is always ready to capture those spontaneous moments. Sometimes the best gear is the one you always have with you. Plus, it fits in my pocket!

Audio Interface

My main audio interface for recording guitar and vocals. The UR22C delivers crystal clear audio with its high-quality preamps and built-in DSP effects. The USB-C connection ensures reliable, low-latency performance for both live recording and studio work.

Guitar Picks

My go-to pick (get it?). Easily loseable, but worth the struggle.

Headphones

Luckily for my neighbors, I have these on my head at all times. I use them to mix anything I record. Also to hear those bone crushing Metallica tones.

Virtual Cabinets

A great way to get a lot of different tones from any amp. I use this to shape my tone with the Emissary.
