Retro Modeling for the ages right here friends...15 years of dust build up.

Uncle Larry takes you back to the early days of modeling with an in depth look at the only digital modeling device that he ever thought was any good.

just a few tricks and slightly inside stuff that I figured out after fuckin' with this thing for the last 10-15 years.

i apologize that you can't really see the readout screen on the M9 because of the camera angle....
but hey, free video right?

and totally unrelated, you might wanna say a little prayer for our psycho stalker friend Gus.
The poor fella was publicly humiliated badly right in front of his own micro-congregation of negativity spreading haters yesterday....caught RED HANDED flat out lying about the 1000 bucks he supposedly "donated" to me a while back....sweet mother, what a f**kin' scumbag


and here is the link to Uncle Larry's new instructional guitar course...over eight hours of detailed professionally shot multi camera lessons with tabs....
if you check the comments and look at what people have commented on Gearpage (if you can stomach it) t has been getting rave reviews from even the most skeptical tight ass consumers who desperately WANTED to hate it.

Homeskoolin’ Bonus “The Haunted Switch”

Chapters
00:00 - '62 Gibson stereo output with varitone
04:17 - Varitone shades of unusable tones.
06:00 - Pull the cord out a bit to get mono neck pickup / Popping switch



Notes
I have been asked MANY MANY times about my thoughts regarding the stereo Gibson models of the late 50’s/early 60’s…the ES-345 and ES-355…people always wonder how they sound next to a typical golden era mono ES-335 that we all love, because the stereo guitars are usually a bit more affordable.

My dear friend Drew from Guitar House of Tulsa came by for a visit last night and brought along a couple of really nice ES-355’s, including this EXTREMELY tidy 62 with a LOVELY neck in fantastic condition…which also has a haunted switch.

So of course I used this opportunity to show you Homeskoolers a very handy demonstration of the extremely vast chasm of sound difference between an old stereo Gibson and an old mono Gibson.

Yeah, that’s right…I’m always thinking of you guys….

Anyway, hope you don’t mind the phone falling over a few times, but this video should tell ya everything you need to know about the differences in the sounds between mono and stereo old Gibsons.

editor's note..at :32 i meant to say "mono 335", not "mono 355"
