Palais des Sports - Paris - Tour FlashBack - Johnny Hallyday

 Xtreme guitar : At which time do choose you the guitars which you will use for such or such song?

Robin : Me, it is stratocaster on all the floors. I have also a James Trussart with the look enough vintage which I use for the parties into open on four songs, but if not, they are only strat' and Line6 Variax for the large sounds Les Paul. In addition the profile of the handle of my Trussart was copied on that of my Strat' preferred, a series L. I am a man with Fender definitively.

I do not like to use many presets. If I could connect me directly in the amplifier, I would do it. I have a delay on a song and a chorus on two others, and it is all. The expressivity comes from my fingers.


Xtreme guitar : And you, Robin, whom do you use like equipments on scene?

Robin : Me, I gave up carrying equipments vintage or with lamp in round. It is too fragile and in the event of problem before a concert, it is panic. I have Line6 DualVerb, and two Line6 4x12' “.  I have also two pedals Line6 Echo Park and Space Chorus.


Rejean Lachance: But doesn't the heat of the lamps miss you?

Robin : Not, not for the scene. On the other hand in studio, I like to connect in two Fender Bassman or to use preamplis with lamps, but you see, DualVerb is a good compromise. Even connected directly in the sound system, it sounds hyper well.


Xtreme guitar : You plays also with the guitar Line6 Variax. Does it go well?

Robin : I use it with the emulation “Les Paul Special”. I swear you that when you put your fingers on the key and that you listenings, you have really the impression to play on Special. It is even diverting.


Xtreme guitar: With do the fact, how much guitars have?

Robin : Me, Gibson offered straightforwardly sompteuse accoustics to me. It is that which I use in this moment besides. Finally, I do not have many guitars on this tour : two Strat', Line6 Variax for the large sounds, the James Trussart and it is all.


Xtreme guitar: The guy, you will be on scene in half an hour. Be you nervous?

Robin : I am more nervous than when we play in a stadium. There, it is a small room and people of the first ranks could see whether I have bad look or if I forgot to shave me (they killing).
