Pedalboards of the Stars: Scott Henderson

Scott Henderson is one of my favorite players and he has always had a killer tone in my opinion – especially live and with the awesome Tribal Tech.  And some of his tastiest tones I've heard were on some live recordings of his stint with the Zawinul Syndicate in the late 80s.

Here’s a look at a fairly recent board from the Henderson, Jeff Berlin and Dennis Chambers tour [still waiting for East Coast dates guys!]

• RC Booster – this has apparently been modified to the “Scott Henderson Signature Model” specs
• Maxon Sonic Distortion SD9
• Fulltone Octafuzz
• Zvex – Fuzz Factory
• Arion Stereo Chorus SCH-1 [with true bypass mod]
• Tech 21 Midi Mouse
• Vox Wah
• Boss volume pedal

King of Tone - Scott Henderson

Scott Henderson - founder member of the ground breaking jazz fusion band Tribal Tech and former GIT instructor - has always been one of my favorite players. And his tone is killer. These days he is using a beautiful Suhr Strat and a variety of analog effects.

There's a great video interview up on YouTube where Scott talks about his gear, what effects he uses and how he uses them. Check it out at:
