Performances are enhanced by high quality, compact sound reinforcement and digital audio processing equipment.  Jeff has carefully selected the most modern technology to deliver a high-caliber sound that never overwhelms the listener.  He arrives fully equipped with sound and lighting but requires only a small footprint of floor space for set up (approximately 7’ x 7’). 

Looping
One of the more unique aspects of Jeff's work is his use of digital looping technology.  A looper is a foot-activated device capable of simultaneous record and playback.  By recording on-the-fly and adding parts as he goes, Jeff performs with far more energy, depth, and complexity than might be expected from a typical solo guitarist/vocalist.  Jeff loops live, on-stage, and in real-time.  There are no backing tracks and nothing is prepared in advance. Without sacrificing the unplugged character of acoustic guitar performance, looping adds a dynamic dimension to Jeff's work that audiences across Northeast Ohio have found satisfying and interesting.

Loudspeakers
Jeff is extremely sensitive to the importance of performing at appropriate volume levels and for this reason has chosen the Mackie SRM-350 loudspeaker for sound reinforcement.  Although small in size, these speakers deliver exceptional fidelity with a wide dispersion that is ideal for most venues.  They provide excellent room coverage without the need to overpower patrons seated nearby.

Processing
Accurately reinforcing the natural sounds of a guitar’s wood and steel is a technical challenge.  Jeff uses LR Baggs pick-ups for capture and a variety of Carl Martin products for digital signal processing.  Made in Denmark to the highest specifications, Carl Martin devices deliver studio quality fidelity in a pedal format.  The result is a warm, natural, stereo sound that has clarity and presence.
