The Muse I Adorn

It looks different because of different light sources.

Adrian that blue thing is actually the original Steve Morse signature model.
It is based on his original "Frankenstein" tele and makes a million sounds.
th


The Y2D model that I have is the result of him realizing that when playing live
Steve only used 5 of those sounds and never the slanted single coil. He went back
to EBMM and explained which 5 sounds he wanted and they came up with this.

5- neck
4- neck + bridge
3- middle
2- middle + bridge
1- bridge

It's a wonderful guitar.

After I got it I discovered Steve Morse.
Double win!
very groovy baby
 
Had to bring out the big gun to test the new speaker...

I was practicing a song for a set I'm gonna do with a few friends that required some 5th string powerchords also playing the open low-E, and there was such a huge wall of sustain coming from that open-E that it seemed like 2 fuzzes were plugged into the front end...

I've been searching the Marshall forum to find the best settings for the amp, and here we have it:

3w power setting, boost on to get the low end tight and involved, power amp and preamp at 3 O'clock (the SG has so much grunt that I turned them down to 2 O'clock and the SG volume to 7..., but with the LP special 3 O'clock gain & volume was perfect) - it was extremely loud. Even with the DOD working in the effects loop at the very lowest volume level that'd allow a sound out, it was too loud really. But, the wife was in a good mood, so I played for 30 minutes or so at those levels - we're talking 75db or so.

Two points:

1) I enjoyed that, and I'll be booking a rehearsal room at least one a month to take the Origin and blast iit out!
2) I need a power attenuator; there simply is no avoiding that truth. I can get nice sounds below 70db on the .3watt setting, but you don't get the full cream experience, and I'm no vegan!

...and pedal board.

A little play with loopers on each instrument. Some practice of leads over said simple loops.

I need to go pick up a couple longer cables so I can angle the 1x12 towards the center but not a biggy. The Ibanez is impressing me completely stock, need to order some better pots as the sweep isn't great on the stockers but the Pups sound great IMO.

Tuner >SC10 out stereo>
#1 >Solo RAT > Cmat Super Signa Drive>DSL20
#2 >Lovepedal Plexi 100 > Lovepedal Jubilee> TSA15
Both amps FX send to the 3 TC Elec Gravy/Flashback/HOF back to return of each amp :)

That Ibanez is a gem. The fact that it is a hardtail makes me like it even more
 
thats not a STRAT!!! (BUWAJHAHAHAHAHAHA)

white strat day --- was playing mine this morning--before the "Lattice enclosure" project took place -- 4 hours of cutting and installing custom fit lattice to ENCLOSE the back porch------not sure why--- I have a wife-- she knows----I dont ask---
Fender Strat the 1.jpg
 
Tonight is the Wolf ES335-type guitar. It has PRS McCarty Archtop pups. I also found a better way to access my Ceriatone amp controls since I am using the 2x12 external cab right now.

Ray, is this the guitar that had the pups you sent me last year? I put those in a Hadean LP that I’m going donate this Christmas to some young teen that’s into playing but maybe can’t afford gear, along with a little Fender amp, cord, tuner, picks and gig bag.
