Good points Keith. Yes I do know the differences in regulated and unregulated voltages. As far as putting a meter on the outputs, again a good point. Heck I do that with the walwarts that come with the effects. Thought I was a little paranoid doing that so I'm glad you brought that up. Now I know I'...

You know I've heard a few folks say this thing is difficult to program. I'm what I consider fairly digitally challenged. I've had the Pods, hated all the verbs and any distortion sounded like a bandsaw. All gone. I've tried some of the high end pedals and loved em but I don't really want a wagon loa...

Me and Red at the Flora Bama last fall. Dear friend, songwriting hero, and mentor. He came to hang with me (must have known heat be moving on). We visited, wrote (May have been his last) and just enjoyed talking.

Black Jack County Chain was indeed a great one that Red penned. He was on the road (can't remember who he was playing for at that time, too many to keep up with), but on the bill were Willie, Johnny Rodriguez, and Charley Pride who was on fire at that that time. He played the song for Willie in his ...

Probably a bit odd but I've never had a problem with it. I live on the coast of Alabama/ Florida and have played most of my adult life usually 100 yards from the Gulf of Mexico. There's bar/ resteraunts all up and down the beach as you could imagine. Never had a problem. Played the same bass amp (Da...

Also if you get a chance,listen to Jamie Johnson's Hank Cochrans tribute cd.Red had three songs he had co- written with Hank that he played guitar on. Killer.

Red did love steel guitar. He told me he told me he wanted to try it out (Red was a perfectionist) so he borrowed one from Emmons. Said he started learning a lick when the sun was going down, when the sun was coming up he was still working on on it,when the sun went down he was still working on it. ...

Funny thing. Red loved coming down here to the beach where I live. The last time he was down (last fall), we were eating seafood and I asked him if he was thinking about recording a new project. He kind of smiled and said (I'm thinking about recording all those songs Merle did and call it " Red...

Red Lane

My best friend, tremendous songwriter (thirty six cuts on Merle alone), great guitar player, and my mentor Red Lane is gone on. Miss him terribly. Listen to his music. He'll never be gone.

Red's been one of the closest friends I've ever had for over 30 years. He is doing great and still lives in a stretch DC-8 on a mountain top outside of Nashville. He's still writing like he always has, in fact we wrote together several weeks ago. Legendary writer and a great man.

That is a good one Walter. Like I said, there are are a bunch of good ones out there. This was just my experience with this stomp. I've had compliments on my sound with it and it's user friendly to me. I'm not a wire dog by any means. Find what works for you. No effect will make you a better player ...
