He opened for The Cure in BuenosAires’s 2023 Primavera Sound Festival.
These days is working in a new albumwhich includes a collaboration with Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera.
His favorite Tone City Pedals are theSuper Fuxx and the Matcha Cream
“I found and excellent fuzz tone inthe Super Fuxx, less scooped than the old Japanese FY-6 and more bassy thanthe Tone Machine. I love it have that octave thing that you can controlwith your playing technique. And the size!! If you love fuzzes like me, youhave to have the Super Fuxx”.
“ The Matcha Cream works for me like abooster with a nice grit, I find the Touch control very useful, it doesn’taffect my guitar tone and I like to stack it with another low gainoverdrive”.
