I like black with white better. Its a little darker in my opinion. It helps cuz his tone on that song while amazing, has been a little TOO bright for my taste...

Bright means uplifting, and "uplifting" is the adjective that goes best with Streets in my opinion

Yeah for me streets has always been about the bright, quack strat pickup sound. I think his bright overdrive tone from this tour and the last one have been his all time best.

Holy damn. First few legs they only let Edge go for a few bars.

Sorry...Thanks for sharing the video Jeff. In relation to that, I really can't tell the difference between the guitar tone for that one.

actually it went back to normal before the end of even the first leg lol

Looks cool! That's one of the processors that I was considering this year. The "Freeze" function sounds really cool, I'm going to try to replicate it w/ delay on the 500 tomorrow. I know that I got a very similar sound before with my RP250.

Yeh yours is sweet too man, looks really cool Yeh loads of people said the freeze was hard to use but I got it just fine I need to study my delay stuff, no idea what they mean by dotted 8ths an stuff

I'd love to take a minute to brag... it's incredible. There is one factory setting called "Sci-Fi" that I will definitely use it in at least ten songs. I'll try to find a demo...

Yeah, it looks very simple to handle. However, you should always keep in mind that most people are stupid people. DigiTech doesn't really use the system of actual notes, it uses milliseconds or seconds. However, dotted eighths are just notes from a bar of music. For example, in a four-beat measure, there are four whole (or "quarter") notes (duh). That said, there are eight eight notes, sixteen sixteenth notes, two half notes, etc. Very simple once you get the hang of it.

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I know that it has something to do with limiting your volume, cut-off point, and things like that though. I remember reading somewhere online that Edge used a compressor in every early song.
