Saul Goodman

Always searching for the rainbow's end.

Well damn, and here I was just saying I didn't need more guitars.

That was almost tempting to me at 4:45 this morning. Then I figured it would sit in the stack of unplayed Hamers I already have.

Well they sure confused my young mind and way back when, my first "real" amp was a Peavey Classic 50 with a tremolo. Like you, I wanted all the distortion I could get back then and I was like, "What the hell is this stuttering tremolo thing?" and thought it worthless. I traded it back in for one that had a phase shifter which I found I could use for the style of music I was after. This was around '77 when I was listening to KISS Alive! and the Alice Cooper live album with Dick Wagner on guitar. Man, what a killer tone he had. If only I had known he was using a Wah.

To be fair, I also read your post at 4:45 this morning with the morning news in the background so I didn't quite get what vibe you meant as in, "I get your vibe, man." Also, back when Fender introduced the tube driven tremolo they did call it Vibrato. And that circuit was correctly named. The future circuits were also called Vibrato when in fact, they are more tremolo. The Vibrato is actually a change in pitch where tremolo is a change in volume. I went down that rabbit hole for a few weeks recently when I thought I wanted another amp. Thankfully I remembered the "Tremolo" on the Tri-Tube TKI before I made that mistake.

Did you get your Uli Jon Roth flo on, @Dutchman?

I love my Tri-Tube Imperial Tone King. I have it plugged into the Cali Tweed mostly and it sits in front of me on my desk for easy access. It's a game changer in so many ways. I have been playing the hand wired Deluxe Reverb I got from @Dutchman for some time now (it doesn't have a FX loop so the TK wasn't used) and got up to put the guitar cable back in the TK. I was blown away once again as I picked up a Strat for the first time in a minute. I have been playing the SG/LPC almost exclusively as I do when I get great gear. So I plugged in the Strat and was blown away once again. After about 45 minutes I shut it down and marveled over the great tone. I went about my business and a few hours later I realized I had left the Tchula on from the Deluxe Reverb session. It was then that I realized I had never plugged anything in front of the TK. I also haven't plugged anything in the TK FX loop. So now I have a project in front of me to put a delay in the FX loop and more dirt in front. The TK has a perfect reverb and tremolo that can be used even when the TK is bypassed. If you haven't tried the tremolo yet, @LucSulla, it is remarkable and is designed after a harmonic tremolo. So you don't need a reverb pedal or tremolo pedal in the chain with the TK. The options are endless as @LucSullahas pointed out. Cray Cray.

It gets complicated.

When I was in MA for my son's wedding we were talking about Corey Taylor and he asked me if I'd heard this song. I forgot about it but now I think I'll have to fry some bacon tonight.

Fryin' bacon tonight.
