Something I was playing around with in garageband for just a bit... Because you guise kept asking. Shoot maybe I will make it into a song.

I used the neck pickup in Tele & blonde Super Reverb in the pic below.
The Manx on the main part is set pretty middle of the road on all the knobs. The "lead" part was with the same neck pickup, tone tolled back on the guitar a bit more treble and sustain on the MANX.

Damn that sounds awesome I wish I would have hit it while it was at that low price.

That Tele looks so fucking sweet...

That does sound really good! I gots to resist damn it, like a fuzz epidemic on my board lately. I can't wait to hear the high gain, bridge pickup demos. Sound as good with HBs?

Thanks for the kind words. Sooner or later we will make high gain clips.

18v seems to tighten it a bit, enhancing the "distortion" character. More fuzzy/draggy at 9v. I can palm mute when I use the bridge pickup, even at 9v - wasn't expecting that, judging from the clip you did. It's pretty Ram's Head-sounding when I play rhythm (the more "rawk" muff sounds), and more Triangle-sounding on leads (smoother 60s-esque, like in the clip). I think you guys did a really great job on this. Bass response is big at maximum setting, too, which is awesome.

You run it through your bass rig yet? Of course I'll give it that test in a couple hours myself.

Thanks for the kind words! Thing about the bass control is if you roll it down to just below noon you still have a mild resonance around 200Hz, this helps keep the palm mute tight even into a cranked up amp.

My bass amp is not here, but I'd be willing to bet this would sound VERY GOOD on bass.
