John Roper, the band’s new Dave Grohl, is renowned for playing, what else, but a DG335 signature Gibson guitar through a classic amp for authenticity. Nathan Peach, performing as Chris Shiflett, uses a signature Fender Telecaster and the massive Mesa Boogie sound to cut through with those searing solos. Connor Croxford, performing as Nate Mendel, holds down the low end with the classic combination of P-Bass and Ashdown amplification. Setting the band apart from most Foo Fighters tribute acts is Jim Freeman, standing in for Rami Jaffee, with his ever-expanding collection of keyboards and samplers. Last but not least in this ground-breaking act is Russ Weller on drums, performing on one of only two Pink Gretsch USA Custom Kits have ever been made.
