Sergio is currently endorsed by Boss Pedals (Division of Roland Corporation) and Godin Guitars.
Sergio has used a number of amplifiers and effects pedals throughout his performing career. These have included AER, Fender, Marshall, Mesa Boogie, Peavey, Roland and Traynor - in combination with Boss, Carl Martin, Danelectro, Diamond, Digitech, Electro Harmonix, Fulltone, Ibanez, Maxon, MXR, Voo Doo Lab and Vox.
His studio and live rigs are a result of thousands of hours spent researching, listening to and experimenting with every available amp and pedal combination. His sound is clean, refined and relevant to each style of music he plays.
Sergio plays AER amps for Nylon and Acoustic guitars. Sergio favors Fender amps for Jazz and Country music, while he uses Mesa Boogie for Blues and Rock genres.
His current set up begins with a 25 watt, Mesa Boogie Mark V amp head. He uses two, 1 x 12 slanted cabinets with closed backs for more aggressive distortion tones.
His pedal chain consists of fully analog pedals, mixing both true bypass and high quality buffers for reduced sound degeneration. His modulation and time-based effects connect into an effects loop for optimal tone.
He uses Voodoo Lab premium power sources for reliability and consistent sound.
