Was looking at my photos from last year... keep the knobs on the markings!
Originally posted by Release3:It is remarkable how particular he is about his sound over the last few tours. I don’t believe he was at the point of marking knob positions until 2005 at the earliest? His sounds are impeccable, but they’re so perfect I feel like they miss some rawness. I know they’re different remixes, but just compare Real Thing 1992/1993 and 2015/2018
He's always been picky about his tone and the whole rig thing, but I think he was much more loose in previous tours. Zoo TV is a nice example, he experimented a lot more (for example he used whammy and other not-so-common effects on songs like Bad). Now with the whole Fractal thingy I think he's much more tied and less prone to try new things. I'm sure he and Dallas spend insane amounts of time dialling up the "perfect" tones prior to the tour and then the last thing they'd want is to tweak and experiment any more
