Very cool... guitar porn par exellance.

Notice at 1:08... they cut from his guitar to another
one that looks like it... the stagger is missing from
the bridge pickup! Different axe! Fender commercial?

Good to know I'm more than halfway to having
his pedalboard... DejaII, Fulltone (parts) wah,
double Fulltone OD (FD2)... Trower is big
wth me, turns out he's lovable and nice as well.

Fulltone interconnects? Probably batteries too!

I wonder if that Boss Tuner is true bypass?
Kinda sorta doubt it.

He like's Fulltone!

I got the FT Clyde Dlx Wah. I demoed every wah I could find and the tone
came through the cleanest with it. I would've bought the Std but GC only had
the Dlx. Fantastic wah......covers about twice the spectrum as a normal wah
so I have to maintain the stoke to about half but it's all there! Fulltone
wahs are the bomb.

I've been wanting to check out more FT gear. The newer beige FT Deja 2
doesn't get very good reviews but I think some people expect too much from a
Vibe pedal. Sort of a supple effect.

I can get such a cool tremolo effect out of my Pathfinder 15r that I don't
have GAS for a vibe anymore. That was really the sound I was looking for.

Trower looks better in that clip than the last one I saw him in. I think he
still had long hair. Tone to the Bone. I can tell because he smokes on my
Lap-top. The new standard :-)

So, I might surmise that you (as well as Mr Trower) endorse the
Fulltone products? I'm always on the lookout for a good stomp box.

I don't know if the boss is true bypass or not, but I do love mine.
Best $100 ever invested in stomp boxery.

You may inform Mr. Fuller that I will heartily endorse
his stuff... for the same deal that Trower gets!

Have you never tried any of it? Top notch... just try
getting ahold of a '69 Fuzz' sometime... unobtainium.

I'm not using a pedal tuner yet... I've got a Korg, I
keep it up on top of the amp and jack into it when
needed... my stuff doesn't go out of tune hardly at
all, after warmup.

The stagger is missing on all the PU's ...
imo .. Trower never played a Candy Red axe .. he has
usually been a white or sunburst type. Fender must had
a surplus of red paint.

...the Trower OD is essentially a tweeked OCD, so if you have an OCD
(version 3 I'd imagine would be better) you're even closer.

Trower rocks!

I have a stereo MDV and I think I'm running it wrong - I've got it in
the loop, and a friend that has one gets a better sound out of it by
running it into the front of his amp. There's also a trim pot on the
bottom of it you can use to tweek it a bit - I found I had to do that to
get just what I wanted out of mine, running it where I have it. But
yeah - it's subtle. Way nice pedal, though.

I doubt the TU-2 is true bypass too, but I always run it first in my
chain, so I don't care. Thing woiks...

I've got two OCDs (ver 3 and 4 - I like the 3 better), a Mini Deja Vibe,
a TTE, and an Ultimate Octave distortion...the only one I don't like is
the Ultimate Octave - way too harsh for a distortion, but not harsh
enough to do something like Nine Inch Nails with. Plus I found out after
I bought it that what I really wanted was a sub-octave and not an up
octave. But I do like Fulltone pedals! The TTE is THE echo!

I like the fact that it cuts the signal while you're tuning, I tend to
really mash the strings around at times and have been known to yank
the occasional g string out of tune.
