Ibanez TQM1
Tom Quayle’s fluid hybrid-picking legato technique and classic-flavored tone are the stuff of legends – and the jazz fusion virtuoso’s signature Ibanez TQM1 is part of that. Its balanced-sounding alder body is capped with a handsome monkeypod top. Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbuckers maintain your clarity when you crank up the overdrive, while a dyna-MIX 9 switching system offers nine versatile pickup combinations. The guitar has an ultra stable and comfortable S-TECH WOOD roasted maple neck and fingerboard. And you won’t have to sacrifice intonation while bending, twisting, and dive-bombing, thanks to the TQM1’s Gotoh T1802 tremolo.
Features:
Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ Pickups
Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ Pickups feature a moderate output through Alnico-5 magnets to keep the clarity of the fundamental tone when using a distortion sound, and to deliver a clear pick attack.
S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple Fretboard & 1pc neck
S-TECH special roasted treatment provides a superior attack and a well-balanced tone and a rich sustain. In order to achieve supreme neck grip comfort, the fretboard edge is finished with a smooth curve.

Wampler Dual Fusion Pedal
The Dual Fusion pedal from Wampler Pedals is, we think, the first overdrive pedal specifically voiced to the new breed of fusion guitarists – but it’s so versatile it can find a place on ANY board of ANY genre.
When we first met Tom in early 2012, he was already using our Euphoria and Paisley Drive stacked together to give him the tones he required. But, something wasn’t quite right; those pedals are voiced for other genres of music altogether so we set about honing the tones to match his style of playing. He needed more transparency, a tighter and controlled response on the bass end and when stacked up they needed to sound and feel like an amp running at high levels and give each string complete clarity and response.
Over a year later, we had the Dual Fusion. With two independent circuits that are based, but are completely modified, on the Euphoria and Paisley Drive, Tom finally has a tone that can be used when he is in full flow as a musician.
The Wampler Pedals Dual Fusion, the first pedal to be specifically voiced for the fastest growing breed of musicians around. With the most versatile stacking/signal path options available on an analog pedal, it is the foundation of modern Fusion…
Tom also uses the Wampler Decibel+ Booster, Faux Tape Echo (Tap Tempo) Delay & Ego Compressor Pedals
Tom also uses the amazing Laney Lionheart amplifiers and the Ironheart Pulse USB preamp. He also uses the Fractal Audio Axe FX II all-in-one preamp/effects processor.
