  3. Thanks

    Jeff, your list makes my mouth water...

    Just added to my rig:

    Digitech DigiDelay

    I have already figured out the absolute perfect settings for all the knobs for "Streets"...if anyone shows any interest, if they have the pedal or something, I'll post a screenshot of the knobs later. It literally sounds amazing and I can't stop playing the song. I'm gonna go play it for hours right now
  4. Sweet dreams are made of "Streets"! ... Play it OUT LOUD, Matt, let those beautiful notes blend into each other and...ROCK!!!
  5. Jeff is the Epiphone Slash Model any good?

    I played that song so fucking many times since I got that pedal a few hours ago, its not funny...I can. not. stop.

    I did the same thing when I nailed the time setting for "The Electric Co." a few years ago, but thats a straight-shot delay pattern, it wasn't terribly difficult. I can't wait to be playing this live. 31st July, it'll be in our live show.

    I'll do an audio recording of me playing Streets with the pedal later and throw it up on MediaFire for you to hear- seriously its a super cheap pedal that gets the sound just right; I don't know why a guitar player on a budget would spend 200 on a pedal that can do the same thing as the $60 DigiDelay.
  7. i play classical"acoustic" guitar, it´s odd but never try playyng electical guitar.


  8. Indeed it is. And it has the same Seymour Duncan Slash pickups that the Gibson has. Neat guitar.


  9. Sounds good was think of picking one up when I have the money

    Can you describe what those are? Do they just sit around the magnetic pickups themselves, or...what exactly are they?


  12. Yes, they sit around the humbuckers, inside the slot, inside the black ring that surrounds the humbucker slot. They're essentially just gold bars with holes in the centre. Looking straight down, which is how you see them on Edge's LP, they look like rings, but they actually surround the entire humbucker. If you take a look at Edge's cream LP:



    They're the things that surround the humbuckers.
