        Got one cheap Joyo Taichi overdrive pedal. It was really good!

          Very good playing Tao. And I heard the breakup of that overdrive pedal during the final chord you played. Nice.

                Excellent play Tao. My Epiphone LP sounds too rich even without overdrive. How did you make it sound so clean?

                    Thank you Tao! gibson lp 50s + Fender blues jr (clean, volume at 9 o’clock master at 8) + Joyo tachi overdrive (both volume and drive at 9 o’clock). Overdrive makes tone fat. And recorded with my Iphone. 🙂

                      Well played Tao. Nice feel and tone you’re getting. If you like BB check out EP078. When I first started on AM I learnt and recorded EP078 because it was in the style of BBs ‘Thrill is Gone’. It’s a great lesson, so highly recommended. All the best! 😎🎸😎

                        Cheap pedal, but really well sounding, Tao. But I’m sure these sweet bends, don’t come from the pedal.

                        Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
                        The next Meetup is expected to take place in November 2025

                        There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum in good time.

                        I look forward to meet you.
