Well I'm not too sure about this clip, but someone asked if the Stingray can do blues and my answer is yeah, if you ask nicely! This is my Grosh Tele into the Humphrey Atom Smasher into the Stingray. I have the H&K Rotosphere in the loop (you can hear it briefly in the clip). Atom Smasher has Volume, Tone, and Sustain at noon, and attack at minimum. Stingray has Cut at noon, Tone at 2 1/2, and volume dimed. Sound Forge kept trying to tell me this song is in A, but I don't think so... G sounds right to me. Here's the clip: StingrayWideOpen3.mp3Edit: Forgot to mention the amp was plugged into the Airbrake set two clicks down, and that plugged into a Weber Alnico California residing in my Rivera Sedona. Edit2: Also forgot to mention the Humphrey Audio Atom Smasher is a modded Boss CS-3 Compressor. The mods improve the pedal in several ways, not the least of which is that it is the quietest compressor I own. Very transparent and quite good. Mark Humphreys is here on this forum - he has a Maz 18 - check him out if you're thinking about a compressor, or have a CS-3 that you would like improved.

are you playing the rhythm on the left too(i haven't heard any clips with such a warm tone from teh 'ray)? Great tone. Nope. I got that backing track from the Guitar Center Guitarmagddon contest - this year it was blues. To get the CD you have to sign up, and when I heard it was blues I went down and signed up so I could get the backing tracks. There are a few that are quite good!

As usual, killer playing & tone, benttop! Glad you've "bonded" with your 'ray.
