I only got confused with the loop list, amp loop is axe fx so are those fx going to his amps input?

I think so smile.gif He mentioned in an interview I read that he just uses the axe fx for fx, so that he doesn't get any sort of patch change delay. He bypasses the amp simulation in the axe fx. After all, he uses his new jp boogies or vintage boogies or triaxis for that smile.gif

What got most of my attention was the keeley there, I get the TC stuff as adding them can be a deal between them but for dirt not using mesa pedals and keeley is interesting.

That company isn't big/rich at all but has strong artist relations simply cause of good products and modifications. I think JP personally prefered it as his main boost (he tried many different ones on previous tours) and might be worth checking that pedal out.

The Red Dirt OD is a very modded and versatile Tube Screamer.
That type of drive is something Boogie doesn't really do, as they obviously have their own unique style of drive. JP goes from clean to mean to scream and everything in between, so I imagine he needs a good TS tone.
