Fender EJ Blonde Strat UPDATE - Set Up to Float! + Axe-FX III Free Preset
Following on from the video I made when this guitar first came to me a couple of days ago (see: czcams.com/video/Lu60zNQMDGU/video.html), I've since spent an hour or so removing two of the springs and setting the bridge up to float which it now does perfectly. While doing this I thought it might be fun to write another Axe patch to suit the occasion, so you'll find a link here for it too. Cheers.

    I bought one when they came out - it's a fun pedal! I found that it worked magic for me when I played my 1957 Hofner Club 60 through it with the 'mach schau' on. It's a sound I've tried to get for some time and this just nailed it. It does good things for both Les Paul & Strat. I grabbed the poster of Klaus' artwork - nice! A year or so later I bought the Victory 'Copper V4 Pre-Amp Pedal- which actually comes with valves inside - their Vox 30 soundalike. It's a lot more sophisticated - happy to have both, they do different jobs. Great demo, as usual!

    • @BrettKingman
      @BrettKingman Před 2 dny

      The Cutlass was a regrettable let-go and all of the stuff I have to let go (to make ends meet) usually is. I love the EB's, they're probably the best production guitars on the market, but the silent circuit mucks with some of the gear in here (buffered) and I couldn't disengage it. Also they're quite petite and look small on me. I'm used to fighting a Strat so I've deferred back to what I grew up with and love. Quartersawn necks with flat-ish boards are always preferred for touring as they're stable an generally trouble-free - this EJ being no exception. Also, I prefer the vintage 6-screw Fender bridges as I know how to work with them to make them pretty perfect.
