'65 Fender Jazzmaster, bridge pickup
Ibanez TS9 with everything just below 12:00
Solo part adds a JHS Firefly Fuzz to the same setup
Fender '68 Deluxe Reverb reissue, vintage channel. Solo part is on the custom channel. Pretty much everything set at 5, reverb at 2.
Yup, that sounds great. It's got a late 70s power-pop sound to it and you did it real good. I listen to a lot of that kind of stuff, like The Jags and The Jam and shit like that, and they all have that tell-tale ripping single coil sound. That whole little mix is a little cloudy in the low mids though, so it's kind of darkening the sound a bit.
Speaking of boneheads in music stores, I was totally one of those yesterday. I went to try out a TC Vortex mini-flanger so the guy pulled it out of the case, handed me a strat and started plugging me into a little junk micro-amp.
So I went, "Hold up dude I need to hear this thing like I'm actually gonna use it."
He says, "What do you mean?"
I say, "Well I don't play strats or little amps so I'm gonna need to set up in front of something loud."
So he says "Okay we have a Vox AC30 in the demo room".
I say "Yeah okay fine" and I grab an Epi Les Paul off a stand on the way to the demo room.
We get to the demo room, no AC30. Just more micro amps. WTF?
So I say, "I'm gonna go plug into that DSL halfstack over there and I'm gonna be real loud with it"
He kind of looks confused, like what's wrong with all these little amps?
So I says "Is that a problem?"
He says "No, give me a few minutes and I'll roll it into the demo room"
I say "okay" and he walks off.....and never comes back. Lol.
So I handed the flanger to someone else and left.
