Sorry about the gratuitous chest hair but it's the only action shot I've got.
A blues festival on the waterfront in a town called Gig Harbour. It was actually a competition culminating in one of the bands bieng sent to Memphis IIRC. My band didn't make it past the first round but it was a nice day ...

I have their Tri-A.C. - it's a guitar or bass pedal and you can save three presets - I find it works excellent for aggressive grind.

I love the edge Tech 21 products put on a direct-recorded sound - it's excellent.

The playing is very sloppy, so please don't beat me up too much. I made that riff ...

I always wash my hands before playing, then put rubbing alcohol on them. It helps a little, but my sweat is corrosive to that new-string-sound, so they still go dead! Part of the reason why for the most part I'm switching to flatwounds...

Well, thankyou!

Glen - Thanks for the review! I have a couple of questions about it, if you don't mind. How stable is the bezel when you rest your thumb on it? Can you feel it moving at all?


Well, you can push it in if you want but it takes some pressure. Nothing you'd do normally. Once it's all in place it's ...

I just got one of these over the weekend. Instalation was a breeze and it looks perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to recomend it to anyone.
