Lage Lund gear

does anyone know about Lage Lund set up?
especially his pedal board

**David B** · 03-26-2011, 07:48 PM

When I saw Lage Lund play last January (I sat at his feet!) he played a Sadowsky Jim Hall guitar through a Roland volume pedal, an MXR EQ (set pretty flat save for a small hump in the mids), a Boss DD5 and a EHX Holy Grail Plus. The amp was a Polytone.

This is a recent look at his pedals:

I see a Roland volume pedal, Strymon El Capistan, Boss tuner and EHX Freeze.

thank's a lot mate! and the volume pedal is FV-500 right?

Hi all,

I know this is a really old thread, but as off october 2012 on his trio tour with Orlando Le Flemmin and Jonathan Blake, he uses this set-up:

Enjoy, regards, JanLF

I was wondering when would Lage upgrade from his Holy Grail to a Strymon... he did it!

yeah very unusual but maybe that's just the pedalboard disposition? he sounds like a delay into reverb guy on records.

I would love to see him live, he's my favorite these days.

Hi, yeah in a way weird, but he uses the dry channel on a typical Fender amp (normal ch.). No amp reverb.

**jorgemg1984** · 10-22-2012, 06:01 PM

Yeah I know - that's normal. What's not so normal is using reverb - delay instead of delay - reverb....

By the way Lage's old travel set-up from 2010 and with his Jim Hall, not the SS-15

**Double 07** · 10-24-2012, 03:24 AM

Sounds like a great setup for jazz guitar

**docbop** · 10-24-2012, 09:26 AM

Lage sounded great last night at Small's from what I could tell on the stream he used the house amp, and no pedals on the floor maybe an EQ pedal sitting on top of the amp.

Is that black pedal a Danelectro?

**jorgemg1984** · 10-24-2012, 10:05 AM

Yes, for sure... maybe an OD?

**Insufferable_Rhythm** · 10-24-2012, 03:47 PM

It's the Cool Cat Tremolo.

**JanLF** · 10-28-2012, 06:45 PM

Oh, he uses the Flint for tremolo as well - not just reverb. Depends on the gig, setting, mood and what not...

**jorgemg1984** · 10-29-2012, 08:47 AM

Nice to know. I have all his records and on recent ones I would just hear delay and reverb. Thanks for the update!

He gets the most 'perfect' archtop tone to me in this youtube clip.

Is that a Sadowsky? the body sure does look like one but the headstock is not the usual Sadowsky so I'm assuming it's either a very early model or a different make.

So that sound wasn't intentional.

I wasn't too fond of the sound either but this was my favorite clip for a good 2 months last year and grew to like it.

Thanks for the tip. But on David's record he also uses a slightly chorus sound so... he did wanted it

I still like his non-chorus more.

I am not an archtop expert but I know he hues / used at least two sadowsky guitars.

**feral guitar** · 10-29-2012, 04:18 PM

dont most younger players choose Sadowsky over the Benedetto Bravo?
is is a better guitar/value?

**jorgemg1984** · 10-29-2012, 04:39 PM

Well that's a good question. Sadowsky has appealed to A LOT of gigging musicians. Laminate means less feedback (in theory) and less worries...

All Sadowskys I heard so far sounded stellar.

**JPMike** · 10-29-2012, 08:55 PM

It's not a Sadowsky, it's a German Luthier's guitar whose name I don't recall at the moment, who as far as I know, has a guitar in the making for Rosenwinkel too.
