Got a guy coming over today to talk about playing slide, so I was fooling around last night and plugged my PRS into the 'rati. Had to attenuate, but with the volume knob dimed, I had one of the best sounding slide tones I've had - totally articulate, fat, clean yet dirty kind of thing. Wow, I was pretty impressed. If I allowed myself to bring the volume up to stage level I bet it would just SMOKE!

Steve,
I'm sure your a busy guy but, if you've got time how 'bout a sound clip of that rati with the slide? Always love your sound clips!

I love your slide clips Steve. I was just re-listening to your Remedy "Ham-Handed Slide" again last night. Rati slide clips would be cool...

That's really saying something, because I recall you having a tremendously great slide tone on one of your demos with ..... was it a Remedy, or maybe a Mazerati GT?

They are all different of course. The Mazerati doesn't sustain as long as the Remedy or GT, but it has its own characteristic that is pretty nice. I set up my old recorder yesterday to see if I could produce a clip - didn't turn out too swift, but the basic setup is there now, so I should be able to do one soon. Bad news is I have a bazillion tasks this week for a bunch of different folks, so it won't be till next week at the earliest.

Thanks for that. That GT clip is one of my favorites for sure. But you can't have EVERY Z amp, can you? The Mazerati doesn't sound quite like either of those amps. Not nearly as much distortion, but on the other hand, it's there. Hard to explain, but I'll see if I can demonstrate with my crutch recorder...

Whoops, sorry about that - apparently my FTP connection terminated before the file upload completed, so I thought I was done, but I had yet to start. Should work now...

Nice. Straight guitar to amp? kc Actually it starts with the Humphrey Audio Atom Smasher comp, then at 1:13 you can hear me switch it off. I was liking the comp on there live, but listening to the recording I like the straight in sound better.
