Don't know about the wah pedal thing, but it doesn't change the fact that I love his tone. Even if I didn't, I'd still at least have respect for its unique quality, since no one sounds like him (although Carl Verheyen has a similar sound — check this out...

Yeah, they had a bunch over at Northgate. I thought about playing one of the American models, but I decided not to get myself sidetracked since I can't afford one right now. And the Willis store at Eastgate had a pretty nice collection of acoustics. I tried my first Seagull there, and it was...

De nada, dude! I'm gonna have to give it a whirl myself. Here's another doubling trick that most of y'all may already know: if you don't have a 12-string but want that sound, record the part and then double it an octave higher and then blend the two tracks. It's not an exact sound, since the...

Speedy, once again you rock, sir! "Aftershock" is probably my favorite tune on that album, with "Medusa" being a close second. And it is very clear, I agree. Great rhythm sound from Mr. Ian, nice and punchy. Gonna have to break out my CD copy of it later today — woo hoo!

As for doubling parts I've heard that one reason that Queensryche's sound was so great is that one guitarist would play the base chord and the other would play not simply an octave up but rather an inversion of the chord. Seems that would fill out the sound in a unique way. Anyone else heard...

Hey dafduc, not to be a doubting Thomas or anything, but I don't quite get this. I mean, it sound logical as can be, but I remember reading an interview with Max Norman regarding how they recorded Randy Rhoads for the first two Ozzy albums. Max said that Rhoads would double and then triple the...

By the way, tubedude, it looks like IGC is part of SHS: http://www.shsaudio.com/ I should've checked this link first. Oh well. :rolleyes:

Don't know anything about them, but I found a website: http://www.shsaudio.com/indiana_guitars.htm I'm guessing you played the Nappanee (since it's blue), although the price isn't $89. If you get one, let us know how it turns out. I've been looking for a decent cheap acoustic for my wife...

Hey Chrisjob (and Major Tom, too), sorry for the late reply. I couldn't access the bbs all day Wednesday, and I was in Cincy until late yesterday afternoon. I never got past the first music store I went to, which was Willis Music at the Northgate Mall off of Colerain. I bought a Dean EVO...

Thanks, eyes. Yeah, I'm probably going to have to go with the less expensive foreign model, much as I would love an American one. Those two in the links look really sweet, too, but I'm constrained by a pretty tight budget. Maybe I'll get the real deal one day when I'm old and gray. :rolleyes:

Hey y'all, I was reading stratman's thread about Les Paul alternatives, and I was very close to buying a Jay Turser or an Agile. But yesterday while doing a search on LP copies I ran across a dealership that carries a couple of models of the Dean Cadillac, the Select and the X. Looks to me...

Props to Toki987 for mentioning Felix Pappalardi, one of the most overlooked bassists in rock history and a fine vocalist and songwriter as well. Hmm, how 'bout dese guys: Cliff Burton (Metallica) Muzz Skillings (Living Colour) Okay, my PC's doggin' out on me, so I gotta reboot. More later.

Yes, I know that. I was telling PFDarkside that he was correct about the fact that James had the cast and brace, but I meant that he had that after the Evansville show, not the one in Toronto.

Another excellent point, along with Lopp's. Maybe the rise of the CD has changed listening habits more than I realize. I remember listening to LPs as a kid, and I guess I did listen to the entire album more often than not. And later, during college and after I dropped out, when my friends and...

I know, I know, but I still have over 300 LPs in my house. I gotta throw those stacks of wax a bone of reference once a year or so. :D Your daughter's comment is too funny. The shift from LPs to CDs is probably the most prominent reminder to me that I'm getting older — every single day I'm...

Good point, Lopp. I catch myself doing this all the time with CDs, skipping to songs I know and love. But at the same time, I can't make myself listen to songs that are doing nothing for me, whether emotionally or even intellectually. (I'm talking about really listening, BTW, not putting on a...

It's getting better, dude. Still, I'd agree that the vocal needs to be more up-front. And (personal bias) I still think that the rhythm guitar is a bit overbearing. The snare that jake-owa hates doesn't bother me at this point. I'll be interested to hear how it works if you bring the vocal...

No, or I missed it if you did. I just took a look at their website to see the item(s) in question. Wonder what the price range is for the V-1 and the V-Twin. . . .

Well, I'm sure a Boogie would be a fine amp to have, but I've been thinking about the Cornford Harlequin (see related thread). Only 6 watts, and that suits me just fine. ;) The Rat question arose from yet another thread in which someone asked about the viability of having a stomp pedal in...

What a happy day! What a happy day! That's better than finding a rat crawling around in your sock drawer, by far. ;) Hopefully the Rat still has the stuff, eh? Let me know how it turns out, or if you might be interested in parting with it.
