    If he designed and spec’d it like this he’d had his reasons… btw, he influenced a shit ton of musicians over the years, not me personally, even though i recognize the craft and touch, so he might be a bit of an authority in the field. There are way worse guitars designed by way worse guitarists… why do you care? Listen to what he plays instead of caring for the colours or shapes of a product that carries someone’s name






  • Yes, although, to be honest i don’t use it very much… 😕 i tried to build my own toneprint and use it to decrease delay time or other paraneters, but most of the time the outcome was a mess

    One thing i find it useful for is using the Octaver engine inside to make a organ-like distortion/octaver at the press of my foot; just think of the intro in Jerk It Out from Caesar Palace, i’ve been kinda obsessed for some days with that riff and i figured it out on my strat fretboard then i spent few hours crafting out that sound on the TonePrint app










  • I have a home rig, which is modeler-based and on which i play whatever i like in that moment, few ODs, Mooer Preamp Model x2 and TC’s FB2 and HoF2 I mainly play a general purpose NickJohnston-oriented modded mim strat with a jbjr in the bridge tuned in Eb, but also a prs se standard 22 with a kluson paf pickup in the neck and a JB in the bridge for the heavier stuff and lower tunings I have an Ibanez S1 xxv aniversary with pink dimarzio evolutions in the bridge and neck tuned to E standard which is the “practice/study/school-guitar”, but i find myself playing it quite seldom

    In my rehearsal room i have a peavey 6505mh running into a hb212 with v30s, here i mostly play ambient or heavy stuff with a Cort M600 in dropC and use a boss ch-1 and a carbon copy along the amp built-in reverb for effects

    I don’t think i’m very good at playing guitar, i’m a drummer primarily, but i’m always learning new stuff and i love a lot of genres, even though i tend to gravitate towards stoner/nu-metal/grunge stuff when i write/jam
