The detail on that is gorgeous! Great pattern and color combo. I got the regular one. But at least it's #2.

It is a pretty one, isn't it? I'm very happy with the deep plum color ... very rich and Victorian which goes nicely with the stamping.
What are your fave settings?

With most of my guitars, I usually scale back each knob. Volume to taste, starve turned up just a bit, gain turned almost all the way up, trim turned almost all the way up. So, It's almost maxed, but dialed back just a little.

Right now in Baltimore, the Inner Harbor is experiencing algal bloom. Piles of stinky dead fish periodically drift into the main tourist area.

And yes... all top jacks!

Sounds amazing and is really something special... thanks Tom! The pic below shows my current fave settings that are a good 'balanced' fuzz for me.

The long-overdue #3 Paint Splatter Grip Tape AB-Synth! :)
Part of a limited-edition series of AB-Synths, no two alike, with different patterns and colors on each one!

^^^This graphic has actually sold quite well.^^^

For anyone bothered by it (I did get one email complaint), it was done as an acknowledgement of Spec's studio work...cause, the name Great Wall was partly inspired by the "Wall of Sound" technique that he pioneered. So there you have it--the only reason I was into doing the graphic when I got the custom request. Lets distinguish between studio work and personal life!

Anyway, I just tried it out on a vertical standard Great Wall:

Tom; I got the Phil Spector “Wall of Sound” connection right off.

My comment of “it's kind of scary”, was more to the fact that he has always had that “Mad Scientist, Frankenstein movie” look.


Any way, love your custom designs.
