WIRING

Scott uses a very short cable from the guitar to the Xotic RC Booster, and then into a Maxon VOP-9, Fulltone Octafuzz, Z.Vex Fuzz Factory, Arion Chorus with true bypass mod, Vox wah, and then into the amp. All of Scott's cable is Mogami 2524 with Switchcraft plugs. The amp effects send goes down to the purple box which is a 25k linear pot that Scott uses for subtile volume control, then into a Boss FV500L volume pedal used for big volume changes, and to silence the amp for tuning. The output of the volume pedal goes back up to the input of a one channel Custom Audio line mixer, and the output of the mixer goes to the amp effects return. The Boss SE-70 is plugged into the send/return of the mixer, and all the SE-70 patches are set to 100% wet. The Tech 21 MIDI Mouse is used to switch programs on the SE-70. The Boss RC-2 Loop Station is not connected. Scott hooks it up in place of the wah during soundcheck to check his tone in the PA and for general fun.

AMP

Scott's amp is a Suhr SH100, which is the prototype of an amp that John Suhr will soon be making available to the public. It's basically channel 2 of the OD100 Classic, only with a plexi Marshall layout and no extra switches.

CABINET

Scott runs his amp at 8 ohms into a 4x12 open back slant cabinet made by Kerry Wright in Fullerton, CA. The cabinet is loaded with 8 ohm Celestion 25 watt Greenbacks.

GUITAR

Scott's guitars are made by Suhr Guitars. The Scott Henderson model is a classic with an alder body, maple/Indian rosewood neck, 6100 frets, Sperzel locking tuners, three single coil FL Standard pickups (no hot bridge, all pickups are the same), the SSC noiseless system, and a Fender Vintage bridge. Scott's guitar wiring: tone 1 controls the neck and middle pickup, tone 2 controls the bridge pickup, and the tone controls are bypassed in the 2 and 4 positions. Scott's strings are D'Addario 11's tuned to Eb and he uses Fender Heavy picks.
