TUNE-UPSNEWS + NOTES
small pedalboard that I use for fly-in dates. On that you’ll find a Klon, a second-year Malaysian chip [] TS808, a vintage script logo MXR Phase 90 and a Radial [] Vienna Chorus. Luckily, I got the Klon before they went crazy expensive. It’s a beautiful thing to own, almost more for what it than what it. I actually use the Tube Screamer more, tightening up my Plexi for heavier rhythms. Say if I’m playing ‘Tooth and Nail,’ I don’t want a floppy low end. The TS808 sucks all that up, making it more defined and mid-rangey. It probably sounds counterintuitive, but I don’t use my overdrives as much for leads as I do for rhythms. I might kick them in sometimes, like on ‘Mr. Scary,’ which needs a bit more gain. Usually, I love hearing just the amp.
