I'll post some clips when I get a chance. I've been meaning to anyway.
Shall we go, you and I while we can? Through the transitive night fall of diamonds...

I'm curious to find out if you're using the SMS reverb and what kind of guitar pick you are using.
Keep up the playing, sounds good!

Thanks, Keir. Yes I'm using the SMS reverb dialed to about 2 o' clock. I'm playing at a moderate volume, treble around 4 o'clock, mid at 9 o'clock and bass at 0. I'm using the middle setting on the bright/dark switch. For a pick I'm using a smooth black Dunlop pick that I got in a pack of strings. I don't have any specs on it. Its on the thicker side with just a little bend. As you can see, I'm not too picky about my picks. I'm using Vinci strings.

But when I tried the Adamas it was a big improvement on tone and attack and NOT just for Jerry stuff. Its a great pick for all kinds of music!kurt eye wrote:The pick thing may seem overboard to you, but I guarantee you will be amazed at the difference in tone when using them.

Do you plug the SMS and Carvin into the PC and then plug the PC into the outlet?Here: http://www.furmansound.com/product.php?div=01&id=M-8x2
