Gear Rundown: Steve Lukather’s Pedalboard Secrets with Jon Gosnell (FREE 2290P PRESET)
Toto recently made a stop in our hometown Aarhus in Denmark, and naturally, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to check out Steve Lukather’s new pedalboard.
In this video Toto’s guitar-tech Jon will walk you through each pedal on Luke’s board, including the latest addition to his setup, the 2290 P, a game-changer in achieving his iconic tones. And that’s not all – stick around until the end for a special feature on the prototype of the brand new Music Man Luke 4!

The link for Luke's 2290 P preset is in the description. Look under the "Software" section on the right side to find it.
How about a video of Jon soloing for a few minutes? I used to see him play open mic blues in Annapolis, MD in the 90’s and I’ve never forgotten his laconic playing style, effortless power and enunciation. The rig certainly helps but Jon Gosnell is an amazing guitarist.
Gosnell…The Best….
So, if now the TC Scf is in the effect loop, does that mean it sounds better than in the front of the amplifier?
I thought the opening sound was being played by Lukather.
However! The feedback from my BT Luke profile on my Kemper stage at low volume through my QSC FRFR 112’s has the same reactions with reactions to feedback. Amazing! Especially with my L4 bareback.
Next time we need to the interviewer to SHUT UP and NOT interrupt.
Great job by the TC host. He added important context and details. He even came up with a great expression pedal idea on-the-fly. Well done,
I don’t know, to be honest, all this gear and it doesn’t sound good at all. A MEM Strat and an HX stomp sounds much better to me. I suppose it’s impressive standing in front of the amps, but ‘tone’? Nah…
For Yacht Rock it takes an armada!
That is just amazingly great tone from the start to the end of the signal chain and masterfully demoed!
It is definitely a plexi-brown sound awash in delay and reverb. No getting to any Fender clean tones wwith this one.
The interviewer talks too
Much!!
That guitar still has a battery but it has passive mics right?
LET HIM TALK! Don’t interupt.
Steve Lukather IS the expression pedal.
Fantastic sounds!
Es idea mía o suenan todos igual? Parece que puedo hacer lo mismo con mi me80
I don't like the obligatory delay and reverb on all the time. I like a marshall plexi just starting to get crunchy, short slapback, play softer or roll back the volume for clean and dig in for drive. Running an echo into a crunchy amp, instead of placing if after the preamp/drive, is such a cool sound.
You can get feedback from anything if you’re loud enough.
Bom dia, me ajudem com minha placa t.c eletrônic konekt 8
Me digam uma forma pra usar sem o cabo fireware
This video just sold me on those Bogners. What a sound. But as far as no feedback on modelers, get a FreqOut pedal or on of the BOSS feedback pedals. Sounds exactly the same.
Punaise ,c est chiant …
Le mec te casse les oreilles avec sa distorsion.
Monster tone!!!!
You can still get feedback if you do modeler hybrid like Rabea does.
wao, this update was like the Christmas gift you got and need it sooo much, just you did not know you need it so bad. Thank you for this incredible update!
Steve's new single coil musicman guitar is so fire ???? those pickups are pretty hot…that tone is massive
9:20
Dawner Prince Boonar? Did I miss the mention? It’s really the only reason I watched this video once I saw the board.
It's interesting seeing Lukather going from W/D/W Rack setups over to a tradional pedalboard.
It is cool to think that my board parallels Luke's board.
❤ Thanks to all technicians
I'd agree with Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Though, I think the release of Appetite For Destruction is a very honorable mention. That album took the world with storm. Guitar driven music was big then, yes, but kids then and still want to be cool like Slash on a stage. When I ask my friends with no interest in guitar or rock music to name a guitar player, most, if not all, can only mention Slash. He and that album was essential to the longevity of guitar.
I heard Mattao Mancuso, who admittedly is a digital guy, say that he prefers to keep his pedals down to 3 tops, the same 3 for years and really, really dial into them to understand all their characteristics and he keep’s things simple. That said, Matteo had an absolutely gorgeous tone/sound and I am a fan of keeping it super simple as there is less to go wrong, the signal is cleaner and there is less to maintain on the road. Steve’s rig is a work of art, but I can’t say that the complexity of it adds or makes it that that much better than an approach like Matteo’s.
I’m sure no one will answer this but if the compressor is first in the chain, why is it on the other side of the board? I guess my point is, why run a long patch cable when you could have a short cable and that might also lead to others using a shorter patch? Obviously he is a top notch professional and I’m not trying to challenge him but merely understand. I try to learn something from all of the gear reviews. Thanks to anyone who may clarify this for me!
…and a Luke IV will made its way to my home…????❤❤❤
Anybody know what pedal riser he's using, the hinged thing?
The excessive rolling shutter compensation and quick aufocus in the video made hard to pay attention to what was being talked about.Why would you need autofocus on the pedalboard camera if it's set at a fixed distance?
Guitar out of tune
It seems that the failure of Strymon's Zuma power supply unit during Toto's concert in Luxembourg last year left a bitter taste in Steve Lukather's mouth… Direct replaced by CIOKS DC7. I had the same experience (in my level ahah little stage) ; it's true that Strymon is very quiet, but so fragile that it can't withstand live use…
TC if you're listening, please make a TC1210 pedal
What was he using the Boonar for ? I have one and like it. Recognized it quickly.
This dude is asking the question is a joke!!! Let it flow brother … don’t be a pain in ????????????????
