Denis'main guitar is a Liberatore(made in Montreal), a Strat-like solidbody with a through-body maple neck, a rosewood finger-board, a two-piece alder body, an Ibanez tremolo, a DiMarzio Distortion humbucker in the lead position, and an Ibanez Roadstar's single coil in the rhythm spot. He runs his signal into a Marshall 9000 preamp that feeds the effects loop returns on his modified Marshall JCM 800 heads, bypassing everything but their power amplifiers. These drive a pair of Marshall 4X12 slant-front cabinets. His effects include two Yamaha SPX90s, a DigiTech IPS-33B Intelligent Pitch Shifter, and an old Ibanez DM-1100 digital delay(«a real dinosaur, but it really does great chorusing»). To control his effects, he built a pedalboard using the housings and switches from demolished Boss pedals. A cable runs from the pedalboard to his rack, and he turns everythings on and off at the stomp of a foot.
«I try not use too much overdrive, so you can hear chords well. I set the preamp's presence full, and get plenty of distortion for my taste. If I play a solo, I hit the overdrive pedal to get more sustain and tone.»
