GT: GT: Do you have a type of pick that you can’t live without?
SF: I prefer a 1mm standard pick. It’s super common, and it’s what I’m used to.
GT: If you had to give up all your pedals but three, what would they be?
SF: I’d keep my Analog Man, King Of Tone, MXR Carbon Copy, and maybe the JHS Mini Foot Fuzz.
GT: Do you play another instrument well enough to do so in a band? If so, have you ever done it?
SF: I started on drums, and I have gigged on the bass guitar before. Am I good enough to do it in a band? Not really, but it’s good to stretch out.
