I use the Dunlop Flow .73mm picks and they are made out of the Ultex material. I love the immediacy and the percussive click they add to the note. I used Tortex for years and then when I heard and felt the Flow and compared them tonally I have never looked back. I mean, if I am going to go...

All those killer amps and not a Boss GE-10? :)

Sounds cool Jeff!

Just watched the Jim Gausted video on WACF tone. So Jim is thinking that Eddie used a 250k pot AND ALSO put a tone pot in his guitar to tame the highs? That seems to me like the kind of things a guy does when he does not like the sound of a pickup at all. Why even use northern ash if you are...

Actually, we will be the one's who decide for ourselves what is a special tone. You mention Dimebag... at least we know he wasn't a massive Van Halen fanboi. And you would be surprised how well many people on Rig Talk can play. Heck one of the regular members who takes part in nerding out in Van...

Is there a pickup winder out there who has worked directly with more of the guitar heroes in the world than Seymour? What is hilarious to me is that every single boutique pickup winder in a basement in Arkansas or his mom's garage in Minnesota are the only guys in the whole world who have...

It sounds really good on it's own and I appreciate the honest recording of just what the pedal is capable of and I agree that maybe a different boost would make it a little tighter and smoother sounding.

Thanks Darren!!! Great playing! The rhythm tone in the beginning sounds a little blown out and fuzzy but once the full band kicks in it sounds great. There is an engineering/production lesson in there somewhere that I will be too dumb to learn. :) I had the Friedman IR-X too but to be honest I...

Would love to hear something you recorded with the Jims800

Awesome! You should check out my rocket science youtube page!

Alright, I'm going to listen to "Conspiracy" and see what this Andy Laroque talk is all about.

STL = St. Louis

Yeah, put me down for 1 of each. I'm talking real deal if I close my eyes I can't tell if I am playing the original one or the new one.

Exactly, me too. I wasn't in to his blues era at all though I admit he was great at it. I think Run for Cover was his last album that really grabbed me. I couldn't take that Wild Frontiers album where all that Irish stuff made it sound like a soundtrack for Riverdance. Blech.

Me too and don't forget that Emerald Aisles live video from the era. Top 5 player for me and this era is the pinnacle for me.
