FOGHAT  

Bryan Bassett is a legend. A Foghat veteran of nearly 20 years, he was also the guy who played the famous guitar riff on "Play That Funky Music" with Wild Cherry, and even did a stint Molly Hatchet.

The 2008 Foghat tour features Roger Earl from the original band (1971) on drums, and Craig MacGregor (who joined after the 4th album in 1975) on bass. Charlie Huhn (of Ted Nugent fame) now replaces the revered Lonesome Dave Peverett who was lost to cancer in 2000.

Bryan uses a simple, straight-up Marshall rig with only a few essential stomp boxes, so 4 channels was all he needed. He chose a 4M24 BaseSnake, which he says is spanning the large stages nicely (at 24 feet).

“Every once in a while, “ Bryan explains, “a product comes along that is so innovative and useful that every guitarist must have one. Jody Page's PedalSnake is such an innovation. If you want a cleaner stage run, faster rig hookup, and less weight in your gig bag, then PedalSnake is for you. I cannot give the PedalSnake a higher recommendation, I use it..I love it!”

KURT GRIFFEY (Greg Rolie)

Kurt has been the guitarist for many music Icons including Randy Meisner (Eagles), Bobby Kimbal (Toto), Spencer Davis, Denny Lane (Wings, Moody Blues) and many more. He has been the guitarist for Santana's and Journey's singer-keyboardist Gregg Rolie for the last eight years (that's Greg playing the B3 with Santana in "Woodstock"!)

This is what Kurt said about PedalSnake, “When I got my PedalSnake and looked at it coiled up in a small roll, my first thought was, this isn’t long enough. Compared to my old bulky mess of cables, it looked so small, but when I uncoiled it, it was actually 24 feet. The other thing I noticed was that my rig was so quiet. No ground buzz or hum. But having a neat clean pedal area is the best thing!”

MICHAEL GARDNER

Founding member of NC’s hard rock trio PKM, Michael has been recognized most recently for his 2010 Parkinson’s Disease Benefit concert in Raleigh, NC. A sufferer of the disease himself, Michael is still active in the music industry as both guitarist and highly regarded producer.
In his 42 year career, he has shared the stage with Bob Seger, Steppenwolf, Edgar Winter, Cheap Trick, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Foreigner, and many more.

“Once I saw how logical the PedalSnake was”, says Michael, “I knew I had to test one out. First of all, it just plain sounds better, especially at lower volumes. And it's taken at least ten minutes off my setup time. The cable is pliable and lays flat. No kinking and curling. I highly recommend PedalSnake as a high quality product, designed by a musician for musicians...Jody Page, PedalSnake’s inventor, is a NC guitarist too…we actually did shows together back in the day. After putting together my first PedalSnake system, we had a good jam!”

I consider PedalSnake my most ingenious and helpful piece of gear.”

DEREK SNOWDEN (Small Town Sleeper)

The Pedal Snake Rocks! It's by far the best way to go if you are looking for a pro look, sound, and set-up. It just blows me away. Its so easy to just hook up and rock out! I am using a nine pedal set-up with a dual compressor and also running wireless. The Pedal Snake handles all of that and even powers all the pedals.

I would have thought for sure that it would create more noise by running my power cords in with all my 1/4 hook ups but it is actually quieter than ever! Jody you are amazing! what a great idea and what a product!

Note from Jody
These guys ROCK! Give a listen at MySpace...

JON LORBACHER (Written in Red)

North Carolina's Written In Red has been creating music that is simultaneously heavy and melodic. With 2 albums and numerous tours out of the way, Written In Red brings a captivating live show and a sound that is truly unique.

"With 6 people running around on stage, space is a hot commodity. Our sets tend to be rather physical so we simply can't have a ton of cables running everywhere. The PedalSnake has allowed me to trim down from about 6 cables running across the stage to 1 (and cut down a lot of noise in the process). Plus I never have to worry about having an outlet at the front of the stage for pedals which seems to be a problem at a lot of venues."

RONNY NORTH

Best Male Guitarist, 2006 All Access Award

A guitar-slinger of the highest order, North has received extensive press and airplay, and his CD’s have sold well throughout the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Recently, MTV licensed Ronny’s music from his current CD Smeared for their "Real World" reality TV program.

“I am always on the lookout for products that will enhance my setup,” says North. “My two Custom PedalSnakes were designed for my new rig, featuring a Laney head and the new TC Electronics G-System multi-effects switching system, a tuner and a pedalboard with a Morley Wah and the TC Pedal board. My main PedalSnake contains 1 midi line, 2 pairs of audio and two power lines, which is going to make setup and teardown a snap.”

JEFF SCHEETZ

As one of the top player/educator/performers in the country, Jeff has been invited onstage to jam with the likes of Steve Vai and Phil Keaggy. Now his 7 CD's combine with 3 CD-ROM Instructional Courses for Truefire, an instructional book and CD, and 2 live DVD's. The back of Ernie Ball string packs bear his name, and he has done over 300 guitar clinics around the country.

About PedalSnake Jeff says “Many years ago they figured out it wasn't practical to run 24+ mic cables from the stage to the mixing board, so they made a "snake". It finally took someone like Jody Page to figure out this would make perfect sense for guitar players, so he invented PedalSnake! With all the power and line configurations PedalSnake offers this really does change the way players deal with their rigs”.

TOMMY BOLAN

NYC, Richie Ramone Band
"A must-have live accessory...PedalSnake organized my entire live setup...it sounds great, looks great, and is designed with the ultimate flexibility for any signal or power routing that I need onstage or in the studio. Many thanks go out to Jody "KingSnake" Page and PedalSnake for building the custom "Bolan Boa". I believe its the largest Custom PedalSnake ever made...16 Channels of Madness!" I also use a smaller PedalSnake for my simple rig."

TRE SHEPARD

OneHundredHours (England)

Emerging from the organization Youth With A Mission, OneHundredHours has sold 16,000+ CD’s, each described as “anthemic,” “blistering” and “a masterpiece.” Touring Hungary, Norway, Finland, Holland, Denmark, South Africa, Romania, Canada, India, Australia, and the U.S, fans describe their shows as simply “life changing”.

Tre says: "The PedalSnake is an absolute lifesaver. I was always tangled up in cables between my pedals and multi amp rig. Now setting up is a breeze. That’s important when you only get a brief line check on festival stage with 1000’s of people waiting for that first chord to deliver the rock n roll they came to hear!”

JP CERVONI

LA Guitarist/producer, Wow TV, Buddy Miles, Vinnie Colaiuta (Sting), Hendrix Tribute

JP sees (and hears) clearly through his Custom PedalSnakeCS (AKA The Cervoini Serpent).

"I had a huge cable mess. PedalSnake changed my life. I actually have 2 Custom PedalSnakes now. Many thanks and kudos to Jody Page for working with me on the Serpent."

"I love my PedalSnake! I have a fairly simple rig, but PedalSnake still saves me time and sounds and looks great. No tonal change at all. I am very impressed. Why didn't somebody think of this sooner? Thanks to Jody, for all your help! See you at NAMM!"

ERIC BROADBENT

Solo Artist, Guitar Wars winner

Eric has shared the stage with Default, Thornley, Quiet Riot, Great White, High Holy Days

"I run pretty complex live rigs, and it can be a nightmare to set up this monster of amps and outboard gear. So I tried out PedalSnake, and now it does the work and I can concentrate on my performance. There is no tone coloration, and the hi-tech look is superb. PedalSnake is a very welcome addition to my arsenal--as important as my guitars! I am proud to the the 1st Canadian PedalSnake endorser. Thanks Jody!"

Flint 250

JAY PICKERING

Flint (Ontario), sharing stages with 3 Doors Down, Kid Rock, David Lee Roth

“Wow!!! Not only did it cut down my set-up and tear-down time but it made my side of the stage clean and clear, and I finally get to use my effects loop hassle free for the first time. I really love not having to run power to the front of the stage. What an amazing product. I always used high-quality expensive cables, so I was sure I would notice a difference, but was willing to sacrifice in that area live, but to my delight I noticed no audible change in tone whatsoever!! I can’t imagine playing without it now.”

FLATLINED

These Niagara-based rockers have dominated the club circuit in Canada and Northern US, with their explosive live shows and signature blend of aggressive, melodic rock.

“We’re all about cutting edge technology when it comes to our stage setup,” says guitarist Jimi Battle. “It all started with our relationship with RVA Canada who supplied the band with state-of-the-art wireless systems. This freed up the band from guitar cables that twist and unplug, giving us the ability to deliver more energetic live performances. PedalSnake is the perfect complement to our system—we are free of the cable mess and multiple power supplies too. And our stage looks so cool now it ridiculous.”
