Sounds Like: Ruben has a very unique sound that is completely his own. The mix of styles and influences spans a large realm of music. There are latin, fusion, jazz and rock all mixed together with a sprinkling of country riffs every now and then. A master of chord theory and ripping lead technique Ruben takes it to the limit every night he plays. With killer tone ripping out of his two Moonstone Custom Vulcan guitars(don't forget the Bartollini Pickups!!!), Mesa Boogie Amps, Radial Engineering,X-otic effects, Audix i-5 microphones and the most important piece of gear his gigging hat!!!! You must hear him play, then you'll know why you must see him play.... it's like being taken to another world!!!!!!!
