Pete Loeffler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter "Pete" Loeffler (born October 19, 1976) is the lead guitarist and lead singer for the Chicago hard rock band Chevelle. He has a penchant for industrial music, although he insists that Chevelle "is not that kind of band." He is a fan of "eerie guitar sounds, like pick scrapes that are distorted dramatically or put through some sort of crazy effect."[citation needed] His vocal sound varies from clean melodic singing to loud screaming.
Equipment-wise, Loeffler plays PRS Custom 24 guitars tuned to A#, B, C#, and D. He uses three Boss pedals, including a BF-3 flanger, PH-3 Phase Shifter, and a TU-2 tuner. His amp of choice has long been a Mesa Boogie Mark IV. His onstage rig has two Mark IV heads, with one as a backup. He handles channel switching with an Axess Electronics MIDI pedal. He is also well known for always playing guitar with his foot propped on his toolbox.
