When the money grubbers sell their souls for money, that takes their soulfulness away, and gives money grubbing priority over the health of the Earth, over the health of other humans, and the health of other species. In other words sub human........

+1 welcome petluo

I saw this before, neat concept.

I tried a fuzz pedal a long time ago in the 60's and again in the 70's. Never bonded with them however, so I have not used one ever since, and from the sound of those samples above, I am not impressed for my tonal needs.

I tried to look at it. I use an ad blocker, the site would not let me in to read the thing without disabling the ad blocker which I won't do.

They sure have a lot of patience. +1 on not buying it back however, if you need a website you could probably configure your name into another thing by adding a word or two, and get it for cheap.....

Yep. Beck is one of a kind. All by himself, no one else plays like he does.

All of those are good players/performers.

Have a good time surfergirl I like Gary Clarks playing a big bunch.

Welcome to the forums Wes.

Way cool. I usually do not play the videos on these forums but I did watch most of that one, it was real interesting surprisingly. Cool

My little Egnater Tweaker head is 15 watts, and I use it at very low volumes. However it is pretty loud when I turn it up, Deluxe Reverb loud. I do not use controlled feedback, but I do use a tube overdrive stomp which imitates controlled feedback and under/overtones to a small degree, so I just use the sustain of the pedal to get a small amount of that. Of course it is not like my long gone hundred watt Plexi and the Sunn 6-12 cabinet, but it suffices for home use. If I played out of course I would use my Hot Rod Deluxe, but I do not foresee that happening in this lifetime. I think the Tweaker head could stand up to a moderately loud situation however. I was surprised at how loud it is back when I bought it.

Yep that works, thanks Fred_C

I would not try one, because it would take a whole different technique than the way I play. Basically I play only lead lines against my backing tracks. I was never a great rhythm guitar player, so I concentrated on what I could do fairly well, which is single note lead runs. I do play some chords during my practice sessions, but just to keep my hand in in case I need them, but most of my playing is lead lines against my backing tracks, along with my vocals practice.

Can't help with that J.Dan, all I can say is; that I never got the same effect as a cranked tube amp, and positioning myself in front of the cabs for that feedback and over/undertones. Nowadays I sit at home with a small amp and pedal board and practice my stuff at super low volumes. Haven't played out since the late 60's and early 70's.

I stand corrected amigo you are right.

@DBM.Out of curiosity, what gauge strings are you using on your Strat clone? I use D'Adderio XL110's 10 through 56 on all of my guitars

The classic Gibsons are very fine guitars, I think they should find a way to reasonably price them, manufacture them, and market them. A company should not rest on their laurels and charge huge markups. Just because it is a classic guitar, they should like every other business price their product to meet market demand, instead of trying to sell at triple the cost of manufacturing costs.

I am not saying I fully agree with Jeff Beck, I just thought it was an interesting thing to guitar players, and maybe liven up this forum a little. I do agree that the Strat or its clones are very comfortable feeling against the body, no sharp edges to dig into the ribs etc. As for tone, I use a boost and EQ on my blues driver to fatten up my Strat clone and give the guitar more oomph.

Beautiful sound. I am not interested in one but it sounds real nice on that setting & with that player.

Wow some folks sure do like collecting.

Good for David Gilmour, I hope he gets some of that money. Or did he give the money to charity? In both instances I applaud his decision. As for me, I'd rather have a new Strat (for a discounted price of course).
