Michael Landau's gear on live 2000

[TopDog]

Anybody know what gear Michael Landau is using on his Live 2000 CD from the baked potato? I want to know the whole works - guitars, effects and amps.

Thanks...

I'm gonna bump this because I'm very curious as well..

Most likely the OD-100...and his regular pedalboard. Hasn't changed much through the years. Most likely he was playing a Suhr Strat or his '69 Fender Strat. Gibson SG might be in there as well.

Gear talk...
Studio setup:
I mic the cabinet (see below) with a Shure SM57 through a Chandler Limited LTD-1 mic pre.
That signal is fed to the line in on the Custom Audio effects rack.
The rack has the following in it:
DBX 160A Compressor
Tri Stereo Chorus 618
Eventide H3000 D/SE Harmonizer
Lexicon MPX-1
Lexicon PCM 70
TC G-Force processor
Two Lexicon PCM 42's (left and right)
Custom Audio Super Tremolo
Pedals Before The Amp Are:
Vintage Tube Screamer TS-808
Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe
Boss Volume Pedal FV500H
I use this setup only for recording because the line level processing is AFTER the DRY
cabinet (in other words, I insert the rack effects between the dry cabinet and
the recording console).
Live setup:
Guitar into Custom Audio RS10 switcher.
All the pedals are before the amp, they are:
Maxon DS-9 Sonic Distortion
Roger Mayer Voodoo 1
Arion Stereo Chorus (in mono)
Boss VB-2
Tycobrahe Octavia
Custom Audio Super Tremolo
Custom Audio Black Cat Vibe
Cry Baby Wah Wah
Boss Volume Pedal FV500H
I also use a Lexicon MPX-1 Processor in the effects loop of the amp for reverb and delay,
or I mike my cabinet and send it to the Lexicon MPX-1 which then goes to a pair of wet
cabinets (2 Custom Audio 2x10 cabs with Celestion Vintage 10 speakers)
Sometimes I'll use a small pedal board, its small and easy to cart around...
All the pedals are before the amp, they are:
Maxon SD-9 Sonic Distortion
Roger Mayer Voodoo-1
Real McCoy Wah Wah (red)
Arion stereo chorus (in mono, true bypass mod)
Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe
Boss volume pedal FV500H

I would guess a Maxon Sonic Distortion pedal for the overdriven parts.

I think it´was his Deluxe reverb and Super Reverb, but I´m probably wrong.
