      Depends on the era, but it's mostly steel rounds with varying levels of tube preamp overdrive and a just enough compression to even things out. Boost your lowest frequencies, cut the low mids a little, boost the high mids a little and the treble just enough to make chords shine. Dude dabbles in all kinds of effects, but you can get the basic sounds from a number of amps and preamp pedals, more easily using one with bi-amped or blendable distortion.

      Positive energy maybe, but the negativity and hate (he uses the word hate) towards extended range instruments and his judgmental critiques on things like playing style and where you hold your instrument sours me. I give the guy chance after chance, I really do…. But, even just the arrogance around changing the spelling of bass…. Maybe I’ll come around to him, and covering Peter Steele helped… but something about this Plucky Brit turns me off… just my opinion
