This was Bill Frisell's work space last nite at Blue in Portland ME. The pic was taken right from our table, it was like having a living room concert! Great solo show.

We were wondering about that last night, so just a power unit with a decal of a MN store on it, I gather ... ?

That’s definitely a sticker from the store. Can’t say if it’s just slapped on or if Electric Fetus sells power supplies.

Yep a couple of beanie baby-type moose ... maybe a ceremonial offering to BF?, or safe-keepers of the rental (I assume) Deluxe

Got to see Nels Cline up close like this once at a little brewery in PA. It was so awesome. I went both nights! I'd love to see Frisell like that too!

I like his modest but significant setup. I get a little -- actually, a lot -- tired of the silly "straight to amp" mythos cultivated by some players. I find it more snobby than any pedal enthusiast's choices. Frisell's rig is a really appealing group of effects.

See if I can find my pics from 2018. He was still using the DL4 then, also had a Freeze pedal and a mini 808. There were also others, not visible and unable to be identified, on his rig. I think one was a looper. The DL4 was connected in an interesting way to several different things.

Thanks for the pics !

Not to mention his manipulation and timing of layering multiple loops with the Line6, a skill in itself along with the Freeze, to seamlessly create guitar symphonies ... some here call it 'tap-dancing' :D but, I love that stuff!

Here's a little better, altho somewhat dark, pedal look ... also as the guitar logos are a bit blurry, they are a Collings electric and Anderson acoustic.

I was over at the Jam Pedals site and BF is listed there as a player. And yes, it is a Rattler. It’s just one of many from Jam that he uses.
