I'm pretty sure he just uses the dsl to power the theramin (sp?)
Maybe he charges builders a fee to place their amp on his stage for a few months as props. He plays a few shows and the builder probably sells 100 amps once the pics get out.Badronald":33yv5cnn said:Why not just have the DSL's up front like on the BCC DVD?
Who is he trying to impress with the vintage gear? The internet crowd?
Not me, I don't care. Either you can play and have tone or you can't and you don't.![]()

Yes...he's a friend and he was standing about two feet away from me when I took that picture. There's no story to set straight...I gave you the story.LP Freak":1l1shd0p said:Isn't his tech a member here? Maybe he could set the story straight.

Agreed, not a fan of having fake amps onstage with the real ones behind hidden. But this is BUSINESS, it's all about the MONEY....
Seems you are correct..my bad. I didn't see anything set up like that at the show I saw and I had a pretty good view..but not that close up. That's a nice Marshall fridge...rupe":38imhx71 said:

No problem. Also notice that the plexi on the end is the only "backline" amp that was turned on...the others weren't even hooked up.Racerxrated":2ocuzj26 said:Seems you are correct..my bad.

On a side note, he used that amp in the lower left of the pic for one song (paired up with a Gibson jazz box...ES-350 IIRC) but I can't remember what it was...65 Amps or /13 maybe?
Yes, but think about it. By having killer un obtainable gear like trainwrecks , real 59 bursts, plexis, etc it gets him many gear hound guitarists as fans and he becomes known for his magical tone. Now when he gets endorsements for a wah pedal or sig les Paul many fans will buy whatever he endorses. If he just came out playin a epi lp with a dsl head it would lack that wow factor that impresses guitar geeks, land down the line less $$.roodboy":1l9a257w said:I still dont understand why he hides the DSL.
I think its always about the $ but I dont get it here.
Out of the five visible amps arent only one or two current production models?

I prefer the Strat tone and I also prefer his Gigliotti tone to the Les Paul.![]()
