The best line from this interview with Tim when discussing people owning lots of amps and pedals. โAt some point youโll have to stop searching for tone and start playing guitar.โ Amen brother! I went down this rabbit hole and after a year I sold it all and went simple. For me itโs a Helix, just fits me. I just want to learn more guitar.

Tim is right about the top end and Sonics of a distorted guitar in a digital medium....as things get dithered down to nothing, all the upper end hamonic complexity that gets generated by a tube amp gets chopped into a phasey mess. It's those harmonics gives you presence and Clarity and audibility. The modler also makes it hard to hear in a mix for any given volume. I have had the same player with the same guitar play through DI'd Marshall and play through a DI'd fractal of that exact same Marshall and when you listen to it all by itself thru a large system you literally couldn't tell the difference- until he started playing with the band ....and if you put the fractal and the Marshall at the exact same level the Marshall was clean and clear and sat right in the mix the fractal was virtually in Audible and had to be turned up nearly 4db to be heard but then the low mids that came with that started to smear other things. It was very interesting how in the mix is when its shortcomings really became apparent.

Hooked on this channel. Started marathon watching Grover, John Suhr, and Mike Soldano episodes. These guys all seem to get that most of us are not stars but they were once like us. Great show guys and thank you for allowing me to get inside the heads of some of the guys that influenced me so much!

just caught tims tale @ working for Rick Springfield in the early 80's. we had a player from NH who i kno was a player in Ricks touring band, mid/late 80's.. he also worked with George Lynch. & i kno that recently, he's been John Fogerty's guitar tech. his name is Dave Whiston. he may well have spun in the same circles as Dave & Tim.. curiosity leads me to wonder if either of you had the pleasure of his acquaintance?.. keep up the good work guys!
