News from dunlop

The Dunlop/MXR team just put out great stuff for great musicians. I am a true believer that MXR make the best effect pedals around today if you don´t geek out and search yourself to death for boutique nonsens. (And while i am writing this, Peter Forsberg Scores his first olympic goal since 1998,JIPPI) time is 07.18 here in Sweden.
Anyway.
The 3 available gauges are HEAVY, HEAVIER, and HEAVIEST, and each is based on a different core-to-core wrap ratio to ensure maximum control and comfort while beefing up your tone! Nice package as well, let´s find out if i can get my hands on a set and try them out a bit.
    

the one in the owen.

Remember i had a guitar in cooking at 200° to make it crack up a bit. it sure did. the photos dont show it though i have to fix my camera. this is from the webcam. feel like a 16 year old teenager. There is no pup´s installed as i wait for the new Yngwie Malmsteen "Fury" from Seymore Duncan. The neck has been sanded down, logo removed and re fretted with Dunlop jumbos 6100, i think. Stefan is the guy who re frets all the guitars i actually use. Live or in studio. So what we have here is a guitar that costs new around 1600skr/160€/220US Dollars. The frets and the job is more money then the guitar itself.
But it´s all fun. A guitar does not need to be shit expensive to be a good player and a cool looking lefty guitar.

In my pedalboard

Talking about pedals made me think that some of you might actually like to know whats in my pedalboard at the moment. Just so you know, i am a true believer that anything you put between your guitar and your amp takes away tone! So it´s all compromises. When i was in HCSS i only had Boss dd-3 delay, MXR micro amp, Boss NS-2 and a optic Wah! So there was really only two effects. Delay and wah. I like to keep it simple. All other effects i did with my fingers.
Here it is today: Korg pitch black tuner, Ibanez Paul Gilbert signature Airplane flanger, MXR micro amp, MXR line driver/Booster, MXR carbon copy delay, Dunlop EVH wah, Xotic effects BB boost.
A bit to much actually...

the Jerry Cantrell Wah pedal from Dunlop

I had the chance to try the new J.C wah pedal when visiting the NAMM show in Jan. It was a great pedal. Dunlop really hit the right nail when it comes to their pedals lately. And they just don´t sound good, they look awesome as well. Especially the EVH wah, who i am a proud owner of. Can´t wait to get my hands(or feet) on one of these very soon.

The Silv


 One of the most influential guitarists to come out of the Seattle rock scene, Jerry Cantrell’s epic riffs and searing tone have been the driving force behind Alice in Chains since the late 80’s. His melancholy wah-drenched melodies in modern classics like “Man in the Box” and “The Rooster” left an indelible mark on a generation of guitarists. Jerry favored wah-wahs with a wider, darker response, and Dunlop has painstakingly replicated that moody sound to create his signature pedal. It’s custom-voiced for a tight, punchy heel-down tone and a rugged side-control knob lets you fine tune the toe-down frequency. And with its antique, oxidized “road worn” brass casting and custom Alice in Chains tread, this is one pedal that looks as great as it sounds.
