Following a little buzz and nice vibes around EVVY yesterday (thanks to I Heart Guitar and Fender Custom Shop) here is another clip from the same rehearsal. We’re just feeling out this track You Think You Know Me. Sorry I’m facing the wrong way – I forgot about the camera. The fuzz is layed on courtesy of my Dice Works Muff Diver. The guitar is my Trussart Steelcaster Deluxe. The amp is a Budda Superdrive II 18.
You know that feeling you get when you sit down to try out a guitar or amp in a music store? You feel a bit self conscious. You can barely get the guitar in tune. You nervously pop out some lame ass licks…or resort to Stairway or Sweet Child O’ Mine like everyone else. Eric Gales doesn’t have that problem.
Who is Josh Smith? Wonder no longer. This cat has the vibe, the tone, the feel, the groove . . . all of the above. Wish I could of been sitting in the corner of this club taking it in. Josh’s website

I Should Have Known It by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Cool riff and Mike Campbell rocking the SG. The old cats have still got it.

Pretty cool collaboration between these fellas – the combination actually works really well. Some great playing and some lovely guitars too. Watch the whole thing here.
The much lauded Fulltone ‘69 fuzz pedal could be back for a limited run. The ‘69 has been heartily endorsed by artists such as The Rolling Stones, Eric Johnson, The Black Crowes and Robin Trower. With original models now going for crazy prices this announcement is an exciting prospect for fuzz lovers:
“Finally! I have negotiated the purchase of a batch of the same Fat-Body Transistors I used in my favorite era Fulltone 69 pedal (1994-1997). They’re raping me on the price, but I don’t care, I LOVE the sound, and clean-up-ability of these. So it looks like I’ll be able to build a small run of (same ole large box) 69 pedals after all. The Ultimate Fuzz face ain’t about Mojo…it’s all about the transistors and matching them correctly, and that’s my thing”

I also popped Fulltone an email about availability and Mike Fuller got straight back to me brimming with excitement. He’ll be getting a test batch of transistors in the next week and then we’ll know for sure whether we got game. Hope we get some all time fuzz!
