Greetings. I'm one of you now.

Woo-hoo! Congrats!
I saw your post about it on FB the other day, and like a dummy, I started a new thread asking about it instead of just putting it here...

http://forums.ernieball.com/ernie-ball-music-man-guitars/63717-brett-al.html

I was looking last night to see if you posted a video with it yet...??????

**just saw you posted one up....can't wait to watch it when I get home later tonight!!!

****Another great video review, Mr. Burgs....
Now you just need to try an HH version (with the coil splits for the full experience), and then hunt down a MM90 to try for the full AL trifecta!

Valentine demo

It's been a while. I hope you're all well!

I had a chance to take a look at a Valentine this week. What a great axe! Wish it were mine, but it's not to be - yet!

Here's my little vid demo.

Pic of my EBMM Babies!

Hey that Axis is my guitar! Well it will be when it shows up via UPS in about 2 hours! Haha, bought from a fellow forum member. Awesome!

 

[banjoplayer]

this thread contains so many great video reviews it should get a sticky!

 

[Burgs]

Hey, I popped up a vid for Alexander Pedals' Sky Fi today, for Pro Guitar Shop who use me as a hired gun occasionally. I just happened to have the Valentine hanging about (not mine!)

Anyway..

 

[mikeller]

Pedal and guitar sounds amazing!!! Great demo!!

 

[threeminutesboy]

That's exactly the type of sound that I fancy. Great stuff here. Thanks

Just watched the Riverside video - 3 times. Awesome! Makes me want to go play my HH Albert.

Would you be able to share where you get your backing tracks? I really need to get some good ones for practicing. Much obliged if you could. Thanks!

Haha. That's keen! Home | Jamtrackcentral is the place. I've downloaded a ton from them. They charge, but they're challenging and worth it for the quality, I think.

For anyone who hasn't seen that vid, here it is. Another will appear later this week once I get the thumbs up from Strymon.

St Vincent On The Night Train

I took the St Vincent on a little soul-soloing this evening, just for fun.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Saw this the other day - very nice! Love the tones out of that guitar - although I was getting thrown off by that cocked-wah setting at times. Was that a pedal or a preset? I couldn't tell. What was going on there, man!

Haha. That was a first attempt at an autowah setting I'm working on. Turned out to be half cocked and half auto - the threshold wasn't high enough. I like it, though, and it will be improved.

String taste test

I pulled out four packs of 9-42's the other day - all of the major EB food groups. It's quite hard to make a string comparison given the medium of Youtube and probable human inconsistencies with playing strength, attack, etc., over the four examples. Anyway, with all due respect, I couldn't go down the 'Let's see if we can break this string' route which is currently doing the rounds. That's not me at all. So...

 

[Burgs]

Two x Albert Lees in this one. Both are amazing guitars that I'd find it hard to live without - professionally and emotionally!

For my friend, Gearmanndude.

 

[jones4tone]

Burgs! Good to see you post again! Sounds great, as always.

 

[Norrin Radd]

So much Albert Lee goodness in that video!

Never really considered the Luther Drive before - very impressive the way it cleans up with the volume knob. I'm used to that on fuzz pedals, not so much on overdrives. Definitely a "plus" feature on this one. Very nice!

Yeah - my AL HH has been getting a ton of use lately - mostly thanks to the JP video posted on another thread where I learned a lot about EQing my own amp. But I digress. The HH AL is such a nice instrument. And the neck, oh glory!

 

[Burgs]

A few more videos. Follow the next few posts...

I've made a few more vids for your general bemusement, folks.

Here's four of the best tag-teaming over a Frampton-esque track with a Tucana model in the Axe.

St Vincent and the Italian fuzz

This one gives the St Vincent some Italian fuzz treatment:

Albert Lee HH goes into the Canadian dirt business

This one gets the Albert Lee HH into some Canadian dirt action:

Albert Lee HH, this time with a pretty darned fabulous Italian distortion box

Albert Lee HH once again with some Italian distortion, an AC30 and a Vibrolux Reverb:
