Yep. That means U2.
Sorry, I posted my more technical post just below this one, so I was looking for a funny or mildly amusing post to go right here for those who dislike the technical posts. But I failed today. So, as is my default, I decided to go with a couple U2 clips. If [...]

Amp Tone Part 1: tube versus solid state
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Amp Tone, Guitar, Guitar for Worship, Tube Amp, Tube Versus Solid State, worship on September 29, 2008 | 8 Comments »
Delving into getting good tone out of your amp…..and if that proves impossible, selling it, and getting a better amp. It’s the guitarist’s way. And as is my custom when I post these ‘a-little-more-on-the-technical-tone-side’ posts, there’s a more humorous one right above for those of you who are already bored just with this intro. And [...]
Stonehenge was an Amplifier

Okay, this is the best thing I have seen in a while! Quite subtle, British humor. If you’re a Spinal Tap fan, this is for you. If you have never seen or heard of Spinal Tap, this just might make you a fan. It’s Christopher Guest reprising his role as Spinal Tap guitarist Nigel Tufnel (which [...]

Well I am very stoked indeed. It seems my amps break down all the time….I don’t know why. I do run them hot and I play out a good amount, but still; it seems abnormal. So a good tech is crucial for me. And you gotta have a good one…..we’ve all heard the horror stories [...]
T-Rex Replica Review and Demo
Posted in Effects, Gear Reviews & Demo Clips, Technique and How To's--Effects, Uncategorized on September 24, 2008 | 18 Comments »
This is the delay pedal I never thought I would replace. The one with few features, but amazing sound quality. Finally, I found that the Damage Control Timeline, at least to my ears, matched it in sound, but outdid it in features. (You can check out the Timeline demo videos here to compare:

So I sold [...]

Alright, so the below post on part 2 of the effects chain is again very much for us gearheads…..so for those of you who would die before you described yourself as a gearhead, or for those of you who don’t mind gear talk but just glanced at the post below, saw its length, and said, [...]

Alright! We got the tone suckage part out of they way. Now we can move on to the chain of effects. And please, I gotta have a disclaimer in here. This post was really, really boring…..so I decided to spice it up a bit by being controversial. Ya, maybe not the best way to spice [...]
Delay Makes Everything Better

This weekend, we did Wonderful Cross…..kind of a mix between the Matt Redman and Joel Engel version. But I sent out the Joel Engel version for the bass and the drums to listen to. Anyway, after we run through the songs Sunday morning, our drummer comes up to me and says, ‘Hey too bad you [...]

Alright, the post below was really technical and boring, so I added this one, too. If true bypass, buffers, and tone suckage in pedalboards really gets you going, see the post below. If that type of stuff makes you want to choke yourself to a slow and painful death by watching Adam Sandler movie marathons, [...]

So, wordpress is awesome. I just found out that I can actually tell what people are searching on my blog. So I can get a feel for what to post next. Could I do this on my last domain? Blog.com? Ya, not so much.
Therefore (I really was trying not to use the word ’so’ again [...]
