schundog Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Bob, you are a mountain of a man, at 6'8" or so, that would make ANY guitar look diminuative. That said, SRV would be proud of how you covered that tune... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhoadsScholar Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 No pedals, Just using my trusty Mustang III amp. Modified the Stadium preset it comes with to match the output of humbuckers (turn the gain down and use the master volume to bring the signal back up, knocks off a little distortion). GHS 10 to 42s on the strings and that magic mojo from Parson's Street... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhoadsScholar Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 There is one pedal I will do without. I usually just use it in True Bypass mode, but if things don't sound quite right, I will engage this pedal. It doesn't help the sound much, but it makes me feel better.
