So Anyway...

The guy has a sweet tone way before any pedal is introduced...in all his videos.
I will say though, I tried to emulate the tone (not the playing) when I heard this. Then I dropped the guitar I was playing and picked up a PRS McCarty and I got a whole lot closer right away The power of the pup, IMHO

What kind of settings did you use?
 
I would have to do squats for a year for that to work effectively for me.

Its really comfortable. Quick disconnect latch. At first, you don't notice the neck heaviness....but it creeps up on you.

I been playing it a couple of hours and just put it away a few minutes ago.

My fingertips are numb...

I was mainly palying with my Empress Multidrive to try to match the tone, which has 2 parallel drives, with one being switchable between dist., crunch and lead. The other 2 are OD and fuzz. Then it has a 3 band eq with 3 ranges for the mid, and high and low pass filters. With enough time, you can dial in anything with it

What amp is he using.....very reverb saturated....

His playing is very smooth and in doing a little test myself (I have several guitars to try) I set the amp--- then swapped out guitars.....and well I always sound like crap--er I mean me......so----its the GUY ! not the pedal -- if I bought that pedal and that guitar (lol) and play those same notes I will NOT sound like that.......

Agreed. As I said, I was not trying to emulate the playing, just the "frequency" of the notes, for lack of a better word.

...and it looks like it was ripped out of the dashboard of a B17!
How totally cool.
 
If I get one of those B17 thingies and put it on a tiny board with my
Source audio Nemesis that will pretty much take care of everything.

(Well...not everything but you get what I mean.)
 
So, anyway we went on our 2nd family vacation ever, back to Disney / Orlando FLA from Dec. 29 to Jan 5.
We went in 2005, my kids were small, and this time with some help from my mom's estate $$.

We knew it would be crowded at the Disney parks but it was shoulder to shoulder and the lines so long, we really didnt enjoy them much.
The little boats stuck for 15 min. in a pile up in Its a Small World (the only ride thing we got on, because we had Fast Pass for it.)
I was getting creeped out thinking all those little kid figures were gonna go Chucky on us.

It was cold. Maybe over 50 2 of the days, mid 40's raw and rainy at least 2 of them, and drop to below or near freezing the last 2 nights or so.
Coldest snap there in over 30 years.
Yay.

After the New Years Eve Fireworks at Epcot (crowded but we expected that so it wasnt great but as expected)
We were closer to the exit and the first wave of folks out to the parking lot. NO trams running, had to walk. Ok for us but not for some others.
There was a fender bender near the outflow from our lot and we were stuck there over 2 hours until the lots cleared enough we could drive across to get around it.

Snow storm Grayson caused our flight back to Atlantic City to be cancelled; I got another for the next day, Sat. the 6th. But, we had to pay another night stay and for the rental car, more meals, etc.

Finally get back to NJ, its 8 F, the flight was ok, the snow was plowed ok at the airport and roads ok, got home FINALLY.
Cops, firemen and Natural Gas utility trucks blocked our street. We were evacuated because of a gas leak.

Couldnt go home. Told them I had to get my 2 dogs. So we did.
Went to Brother in Laws house, 15 min away, with dogs and luggage. Got the all clear about 3 hours later.
Go home - ok but no gas, no heat no hot water.
Finally back on around 10:00 PM.
NO pipe freezes so thats good.

What a week.
Very disappointing.
Just my luck.

Life goes on, others have worse problems I know but WHAT the F*CK!!
End of rant
 
..and yet another in a continuing series of disappointment stories from Disney vacationers.
I'm starting to wonder if they are riding on their name and their past glory while overcharging.

Sound familiar?

Trust me they are...Disney California is the EXACT same park it was in 1970 when I went. Hell the Dumbo, Matterhorn, Haunted House, a Pirates rides are in the exact same locations 48 years later!
