    I love the Squire Stratocasters the first thing I do when I get one I have had 4 strats so far and I always unflattering the bridge so I can't run tremolo bar but it makes it where it stays in tune better. On the Squire Strat I just got I unfloated bridge before taking My feeler guage and adjusting My string height for Me. Guitar sounds awesome neck pitch is right strings are set specifically for Me I run string height a little different than others I set My top bass strings a little higher than most people like but with 9 size strings there's no fret buzz and string bends are still good. My string hght is about 78 thousandths on the top bass E and on high 70 thousandths if strings any lower I don't like it that's where I like them and set mine up. Fenders are one of My favorite guitars. I would definitely recommend Fender to anyone who is just getting into guitars.

    My first "real" guitar was an 83 strat. Paid $350 for it new. I was 14 years old. Im 55 now and playing my brand new American pro ll strat. It's the 4th American strat i have owned besides the 2 or 3 or more, foreign made strats i have owned. The thing is that the strat is the most popular and easiest to find guitar style in existence. In 84, when I got my first one. It was very accessible and affordable as an American made professional level guitar. The few Gibson guitars on the wall were easily twice the price or more. So, for me, the strat was accessible and affordable besides being desirable and iconic. Even in 1984, it was well established as an iconic design.

Definitely not my jam.

    Describes a vintage Leslie's workings, yet has a leslie in house that's built different 🙃 822 has a rotosonic bass speaker, wich is a speaker inside the baffle. Not an empty drum with speaker mounted above. Produces less low end than the original construct. The rotosonic ramps up and down way slower than a traditional system. It has a stationary speaker mounted above it for the subs, but not for the rotary channel. Also the rotosonic and the top rotor spin in the same direction, as opposed to the vintage leslies. This makes the 822 sound different than the leslies the pedals are based on, albeit slightly.

The lesser low end would even be good trait for guitar. Just a slightly different beast than the traditional leslies ☺️ They are among the most powerful with over 200 watts though!

    Here's some fresh research: Dimension effect was meant to give a wide chorus feel without the warble. Phase flipping in the half of the split signals is what gives it depth or breadth, but it's the TRAPEZOID waveform of the LFO that gets rid of the warble. Also, as nice as it is on guitar, this effect is like washing out your ears when used on keyboards. Everything just sounds grand (in the SDD mode).

    To me, a tone that is expressive and dynamic without being strident, fizzy or shrill MUST have enough midrange. I tend to run my mids a bit boosted and my treble a bit low so that the upper mids are more dominant that the highs - or at least that's how I think of it. The mids provide some of that vocal quality, but you don't want them too high or things start to sound muddy or congested.

    Great episode. The Bellringer cleans reminded me of my Trainwreck Express clone. Beautiful sounds from el34s. The Dumble episode was also very similar to the experience people have playing my ‘wreck clone. Absolutely visceral, exposes every thing you do, but majestic when you can control it. Life changing tones. Mick, Epi DG335 update. I’ve had it for a couple months now. Exceptionally well built, feels amazing to play and just sounds so good. Sounds more ‘alive’ then my other 335. Really impressed with it and it’s made me want to play more which is a great change. It’s worth having a go on one if you come across one. Cheers
