Thriving and Surviving in Nashville: The Artists Journey with Sofie Lynn
Vertical Horizon performed a show at Shaw Air Force Base recently and performing with us that evening was a solo artist named Sofie Lynn. For 90 full minutes she held the crowd in rapture and even in the rain with her own songs, only working in very few covers, and those arranged to fit her truly unique style. Sofie is the definition of a “#Journeyman”, (Journeywoman??!) she is out there crushing it on on vocals and guitar owning the #stage, and thriving in the writing rooms of #Nashville. Please watch this, "after show, late night, hotel room, “hazy interview”, and then go visit her RUclips page, give her a follow and listen to her beautiful songs.

I use three very different style #guitars and a variety of #pedalsandeffects to put the Jet Black through its paces. Join me for this deep dive into the Jet Black...
PRS "Wind Through The Trees" Flanger...The One??!!
Просмотров 6503 месяца назад
PRS has created an amazing sounding Flanger pedal with his "Wind Through the Trees". I have been going through Flangers for years trying to find one that could do the 70's big churning slow flange and then be able to get that Pat Travers classic sound and move into the Andy Summers vibe. Could this be the one? Could this truly be a holy grail of Flangers? Join me and hear some of the tones and ...

      There are several, but the Jet Black is fantastic, also the Hot Cat is amazing...it comes down to preference, do you prefer Marshall or Vox/Matchless tones, the Hot Cat is Marshall sounding and the Jet Black more Vox oriented. But truthfully they have a 25 watt amp that is amazing as well.

    It's been close to 9 months with the QC. Just purchased a Laney LFR 112 and with the Cortex Cloud-have found presets for both a hard rock gig as well as a single acoustic guitar gig for those small coffee shops etc. Been using presets and learning (the QC manual is fraking vague) learning about Scenes-another "game changer" for live use!! But, all in all, I do not cry over not having 4 Marshalls, 3 Fenders and a Soldano and countless other amps that thru the years, ended up collecting dust! I do not cry over not having to rent a van to haul equipment. Rock, Blues, Acoustic-All tones I would, or could ever need are on the Quad Cortex. Solo gigs are my Laney, my Quad Cortex, a mic/stand, a Tablet to scroll thru a saved library of songs with chords and lyrics for audience participation. Hell, there's a bass Preset that you can use with the Looper-add some homegrown lyrics and your off to the races with another genre of music at your fingertips. Game Changer? 100% Agree. Great video, thanks for making this. Your preset tones were really solid!
