Creator's Key Takeaways
My wife and I work as musicians on board cruise ships and we are currently on board the Carnival Vista.
I thought I'd make a behind-the-scenes video to show you all about the different guitar tones that I use in our shows.
I love this guitar. This is the guitar that I use every night on stage here on the Carnival Vista.
One of the reasons that I really love this Keer is because it keeps everything so consistent for me while we're at C.

Inside The Music - my vlog about all things relating to my multi-faceted music career and my life in general. September 16, 2025 Ever wondered what kind of guitar tones I use while performing on a cruise ship? In this video, I’m breaking down my live rig on the Carnival Vista, built around the Kemper Profiler Stage and modeled after my Vox AC30. From clean shimmer with delay and reverb to crunchy rhythm tones, soaring solos, and even some ambient reverb washes—I’ll walk you through it all. I’ll also show you how I use pedals and morph features live, plus give you an isolated listen to each tone so you can really hear the differences. Guitars used on contracts: Fender TC-90 (a specific model of Telecaster) and Gibson Les Paul Studio (not shown in this video) If you’re into guitar gear, cruise ship gigs, or just curious about how we keep the music sounding big at sea, this one’s for you.
