Define "song structures". I'm curious? I would actually go as far as to say that I don't think Val and Satch could necessarily cover the ground Pete has in his career. It's completely horses for courses and they have their lane, and in that lane, they're the kings. If you don't think Pete can...

This is madness. Do you honestly believe, taking the punters out of it, do you honestly believe that DON HENLEY wasn’t discerning? Come on. Key/tempo shifts? That stuff isn’t the challenge. The challenge is always time feel, pocket, touch. It’s like you’re suggesting PT can’t handle this stuff...

Perhaps but there will be plenty of people with a genius level understanding and output that would alienate most people too.

What don’t you like about the pickups?

I didn’t say he was a genius songwriter. I think he operates musically on a different level to the large majority of people who ever play music. Does that make me want to listen to his music? Not really. I appreciate it for what it is but it doesn’t move me, I agree.

All I’m saying is, I’m not sure some of you here stating that he won’t be up to it realise how good you need to be to do those high level gigs.

Disagree. He’s a true trailblazer in that world. Would I want to listen to it every day? Definitely not. But still.

Hahaha. Ouch. I haven’t been here for 7 years and it’s as caustic as ever, eh?

Yes, Vai is a genius. That goes without saying. Satriani is a guitar legend. I love both and have for many years. That said, I think you’re being pretty harsh on Pete. The guy does that VH tribute with Mitch something and absolutely nails it. His time, his swing, his feel. It’s all there. I...

For a start he has very good time and pocket. Both infinitely more difficult to achieve than blazing scales. And I’m a Satch and Vai fan. Try harder.

Cool. There is more to excellent guitar playing or musicianship than shredding my brother.

Do you really believe Don Henley, Melissa Etheridge, Chris Cornell and even The Classic Rock Show are “simple”?

Literally came out of dormancy to say this is one of the dumbest takes I’ve ever seen on a forum.

How is it? Modeller-level for IEMs etc?

Has anybody here played one? In the market for a channel switcher and looking at this, maybe the EVH 50w EL34, or possibly the Friedman Smallbox. Looking for Plexi and modded Plexi style gain tones but ideally a great clean channel too. Not completely essential as I could A/B with my Bella but...
