This was my second year at Tracy. This is just plain awesome to hear! Thanks James for getting it into a share on RU-vid! I remember going to Vallejo that year for a band competition. We had a good day. The jazz band played both of these tunes and Larry really got into the zone on Bahia. He blew everyone away, including the judges. Seems the concert band won third on that day too. I do remember that Larry and Eric both played in that group. Mike was on the drums for sure. Wes and Jenny... Eddie, Michael, we are getting there. I could be wrong since at my age the memory kinda blends things together, but I truly loved working with everyone in the marching band, jazz band, and concert band. Great days they were! I'm good with Maynard Ferguson Renee...
I really like your approach. It gave me a working knowledge how these devices sound in the real world. I wasn't going to watch the whole presentation but got pulled in.
How is it not absolutely screeching next to you at that volume? I tried diming everything on my plexi and it's unplayable. Using a different speaker than the 4x12 by you?
Maybe you mean this Tightrope from SRV? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uu7haLxD2WM.html Try 2min 20sec for where he rolls back the volume after the solo to clean up.
Coming back to your channel, I seem to remember there being more videos than there are now? Am I misremembering or have you removed some of your videos? Atb - Luther 😎👍
This is how you should show a vintage fuzz and teach how to use it. Indeed tightrope is 80% Fuzz face (germanium) and a tiny bit of the Roger Mayer Octavia (grey rocket shape), im not sure if SRV had the TS9 ON but the sound in the solo's is the sickest and most brutal I've ever heard, and this guys is completely right you see Stevie rolling down the volume to sing and clean the guitar, when the solo comes he cranks the guitar volume and hell is loose. It's such and Epic performance. By the way with that FF pedal you dont need much more to make stand on the stage it sounds amazing.
James - I just bought the Fuzz Face JHF1 ( new old stock Dunlop circa 2015 model ) It has more mid scoop than I imagined. Fender American Pro 1 Strat at all full , btw i ran it through my Vox AC4T1 and my Orange TH30C both clean and dirty.Is it expected at low volume setting on the pedal ???
I bought a 73 fender stratocaster in the pawn shop for $190 ! A steal deal ! It pays to hunt pawn shoos for all your gear ! Many folks will sell their guitar pedal's, amps,etc. For cheap because they are Hard up for Money$$$$$ don't forget to go to your local pawn real soon ! Mike Edwards Crowley, Louisiana.
I have the MRX classic 108 mini. It's basically the same circuit as that light blue, silicon Hendrix fuzz face with a buffer button to make it play nice with other pedals or humbuckers...especially wah pedals or anything in front of it. The button also brightens the tone a bit, but for turning down the fuzz quite a bit, it reintroduces the highs, which is good for getting mellower overdrive tones from it. I'll probably eventually buy the the darker blue silicon fuzz face mini. That one will give you the Pink Floyd - Time solo sound. Dunlop owns MXR ,Way Huge Pedals, and the official Fuzz Face branding , so, yeah...
I’ve always avoided the strat and the fuzz thing, but I’m starting to build some confidence on my strat type guitar and my first FF is on the way, thanks for the tips. You have a great touch, and obviously know your sht thx 🙏 🤠✌️
