Saturday the bass player and singer couldn't make it so the other guitar player and the drummer and I got together to to disturb the peace FTFOI. We did some Zep (Custard Pie), and Red House (of course- only lasted 12 minutes)- and went on to Waiting for the Bus - all of these are tunes we, as a band, don't play. There were others- you heard them at high school talent shows.
It's interesting- left to my own devices, as an amplified musician, I tend to not play very loud. In fact, when I am with other guitarists and they give the volume knob that twist to the right, say in a store- or a home studio- I start a bit.
Anyway- we were doing Waiting for the Bus- and i was playing the R9 into my 2061X (Slub says it a mini- 1959-yep), into a 2x12 with 1978 Blackbacks. I had staggered a couple of OD pedals set low- very low- then hit the boost pedal.
Then what happened?
I saw God. (Everyone- "You saw God!?")
I have heard that tone a couple of times- Bonamassa at the Florida Theatre, Aerosmith at the Syracuse War Memorial, and JD Simo at the Center Stage in Atl. When Music meets the chainsaw- a touch more than slapback echo- double-tone on the pinch harmonics- the distortion just blends with the note. It was loud. It made the drummer smile.
And I saw it was good.
I'll be back.
I want to hear amazing tone moments- full details please.
