Great stuff Andy! As someone else said, that song is reminiscent of Vinnie Moore. An influence or someone you listened to or not at all? He is for me. Wish you continued great success!
One of my guilty pleasures is LIKING his song’s melodies. I love most of his CD’s because of this. The guitar playing is a given to like but, Rob Rock and Graham Bonnet rule too! I need to get his last 2 CD’s.
Wow HOT new amp day. Never played through a Wizard but, I’ve heard a few and never heard a bad sound coming out of one. Last time I was at NAMM I did get to try a Gemini and a Collosus. I liked both quite a bit. What is a Gemini Custom? Is it just the colors or something else?
They’re REALLY different in amplified tone and neck shape. Whatever value Caparison uses for it’s volume pots WORKS. I have to turn the Ibanez pot a lot more to get that volume backed off sound. So that aspect goes to Caparison. Fit and finish goes to Ibanez, it’s just superb. Tone is a almost a...
Earlier this year in April, we went to Japan and during the one the one day that I had 6-8 hours to do whatever I wanted, I of course went Guitar shop hopping in Tokyo! I was looking for something in particular but, of course wanted to cram as much Guitar sightseeing as possible too. I found 2...
I prefer an amp that gives me a tone I love WITHOUT having anything besides a cable between it and my guitar. For a different flavor, I switch to a different amp entirely. Now do I own about 10 boost/distortion pedals... yeah but, do I use them? No, well... except for the rare occasion I plug...
For a few years I rocked a Guild Bluesbird AAA that sounded better than almost every production LP I’ve played. I still have it but I did buy some Gibson’s (R9/R0/68RI/Slash) that are righteous.
USA Schecter’s are great! I have a super Strat style one that I had no intention of buying but, after playing it and I could not leave the store without it. I owned an MIK PT set neck myself back in the day that soundsed great too. Enjoy it when you get it!
I had no tone suck when I used an ISP Pro Rack back in the day. I think those who experience issues do so because their amp’s loop is the thing in the chain that is not that transparent.
Like one poster mentioned playing thru a Guitar cab is going to lessen how different the amp models sound. You would love the feel though. If you get/have a fairly neutral sounding cab you’ll hear more pronounced differences between your presents otherwise you won’t. Not saying it will sound...
Really would depend on what style(s) of music you play and whether you get your sounds with a lot of pedals in front of the amp or not. Without know either of these things, I’ll give you a generality... use boost distortion pedals for your tones— get the Fender as I believe it makes a better...
