	Who uses Rothwell gear?




	Gary Moore took delivery of one of the first Heartbreakers off the production line. He tried it out at the soundcheck of his next gig and liked it so much he used it for the entire show. Gary’s website






	Mike Scott is a seasoned professional guitarist from the USA. He has toured extensively with Prince and more recently with Justin Timberlake. It was while on tour with Justin that Mike tried out the Hellbender and Switchblade. He auditioned the pedals during a soundcheck and was knocked out, so he used them for the show and for the rest of the tour.

Paul Rose is a phenomenal blues rock guitar player (winner of Guitarist Magazine’s “Guitarist Of The Year” award) who favours a raw guitar tone and generally doesn’t use effects pedals, but when he needs that extra bit of drive from his Fender Strat he can rely on a Hot Little Knob to push the amp that bit harder. Paul was kind enough to record some sound samples which can be heard on the Hot Little Knob page.

	Gwyn Ashton is another blues rock guitar player famed for his fabulous tone. He uses an F1 Booster to push the amp harder and a Switchblade when he needs a really blistering tone. Here Gwyn is pictured using a Switchblade with an acoustic Hawaian lap style guitar. What a tone! Gwyn’s website

The ZZ Tops are the UK’s premier ZZ Top tribute band and guitarist Nick Ryan (aka Billy Bigguns) uses a variety of Rothwell pedals to get a hard rockin’ boogie tone just like Billy Gibbons. Here’s Nick in Billy mode and here’s Billy Gibbons himself with an Atomic Booster.

Chris George is a superb guitar maker whose work has featured in Guitarist Magazine on more than one occasion. He recommends the Hot Little Knob for Strat style guitars where the owner is looking for a boost facility without resorting to active circuitry. However, one of Chris’s customers recently requested an active mid boost circuit and Chris called on Rothwell for a solution. We came up with a neat variable boost circuit on a push-pull knob which Chris fitted to the Vox Consort replica he was making and the customer was delighted with it. Here are are the details of the build.

Vanquish Guitars are hand made instruments of the highest quality. The build quality is exceptional and they have tone to match. Guitarist magazine said “this is one of the finest electric guitars we’ve had from a British maker for some time”.
When exhibiting at guitar shows, Vanquish use a Hellbender to get an awesome rocking tone which still allows the guitar’s own character to shine through.

			Patrick Eggle Guitars is probably Britain’s biggest guitar maker. Back in the mid nineties Andrew Rothwell did some design work for Patrick Eggle and incorporated a simplified version of the Cool Little Knob into several of the then current models. More recently, Rothwell has been involved with the development of some active circuitry for inclusion in new models. website



	Mark Bailey is a very talented guitar maker based in Scotland who not only makes some exceptional guitars but also runs a successful school of luthiery. He recommends the Cool Little Knob as a much more versatile alternative to the simple coil tap. Bailey Guitars website
