I love to watch others when I show them my
Fernandes w/sustainor. specialy guitarists that haven't heard one. I tell em
"this guitar has alot of sustain" then hit a not and hold it, and hold it, then
with no picking move around the neck, hit the harmonix switch, etc. after a bit
they are going WTF! Then I'll let them play it. It scares the hell out of them
at first. Bwa ha ha!

Subject: RE:
distortion,overdrive,fuzz,crunch
Regarding this secret weapons, one must keep in mind that a
special recipe for the public can be a very unspecial to us. A example: the
Ebow. Everyone seems to think I come from Mars if I use one while there's
nothing special to it (I mean, I bet 99% of the guitar players of this list
have one...).
Now, we have the tools that a remade to make anyone frown
(VG-8, VG-99 in my case, but designed for sound mangling and designing) and
basic tools to add a special little something...
I like a old fuzz by
Ibanez (emerald green one). Like the fact that the not seems like it
swells...
I have a Robert Keeley modified DS-1 (also a SD-1 but I don't
use it that much. Overdrive is a very different beast...) I have a TubeMan
which is more interesting a crunch pedal than a n overdrive.. I TOTALLY
DEPEND on a multicomp EBS. I know it is supposedly made for bass but it
inflates any guitar and sound gorgeous.
This is the very epitome of
secret goo. I mean, It doesn't really change the sound, just it sounds way
better with it. Transparent compression, not overdone...
Then I have a
Morley Wah 2 that behaves weirdly. For some reasons, engaged it distort. It
has a very wide wah effect, so i use it for filtering and filter sweep effets.
I thought of repairing it but I just like it's distortion,
unusual.
