Quick YouTube of me & the Love Rock through my 9-year old smallbox Dr. Z Maz-18 Jnr. here: -

- Choose the "watch in high quality" option (lower right, below volume control) to get better sound...

I'm the guy on the right in the black & white baseball cap.

The LS-150 is from 1981, & had no pickups when I got it. These are WCR 'Darkbursts'.

Quite pleased with how sound & tone of the solo in particular came through on this, considering it was shot by a mate on a crappy 12 year-old Sony Handycam, & he was a little worse for wear after he'd had "one over the eight" - as I'm sure you guessed... :roll:
 
Hey Cybercat,

Nice stuff!

It was only the 2nd show ever with this band, meanwhile we did some more..
After the guitar almost falling on the ground at the end of "Save me" I decided to put on some Schaller straplocks, this guitar is too brilliant to me to mess around with :)

Hi Bill,

Thanks! The sound on the clips are actually also a bit crappy because they were also shot with a handycam, but I am glad that you can "hear between the lines" :).

I use quite a simple setup but everything is top notch stuff, the following pedals are in my pedalboard:
Planet Waves tuner > Exar Tuber overdrive pedal > Boss DD20 Digital Delay > Exar Moon Metal overdrive pedal > T.Rex Room-mate.
My amp is a Brunetti Maranello, very very responsive, clear, warm and cutting and very versatile from all the clean to any dirty sounds you want. It however has no reverb, that is why I use the T.Rex, probably the best reverb on the market. Not a cheapo because it also has a built in tube.

Anyway, regarding your question, so the delay is the Boss DD-20. The sound on "The Unknown" is in the mode "modulate" where it has a nice additional chorus effect giving you an U2-Edge kind of sound. Very nice and I don't need a chorus pedal :).

Cheers, Herbert
 
Hi Herbert,

Thanks for all your details, very interesting!

My live setup in the video in the first post (unchanged for 5 years) is pretty simple too, just the Tokai (LS-150 or ST-80) into this board : -

(...for this song the Cot 50 & Cornish G-2 are 'always on', & you can hear the Klon Centaur kick in to boost the solo volume)

...into this amp : -

The Dr. Z Maz 18 junior is close mic'ed with a SM-57 through the P.A. for bigger & outdoor venues like this (around 1,500).
 
Hi Bill,
Thanks! I had a further look into your Cornish SS-2 G-2 and your Church of Tone 50 pedal and they sure sound great! I meanwhile read some reviews about them and listened to some clips, very good stuff :eek:! Things for my wannahaves list indeed! :D
