Ah yeah, you're right, there on the left.
Must be an early bird then. -
Wasn't Vernon the dude who's Axe-FX videos were splashed all over TGP?
I think one of the videos was him receiving and opening his MFC 101 pedalboard? -
A remember the gear vid from last year ,(

He uses everything. He shows up on vguitarforms now & then. Seems like a very nice fellow.
-
Dude needs a Kemper more than anyone on the planet. His previous live setup is a monstosity of epic complications
-
Doug Wimbishs segment of that video was really neat. He seemed to have any easier time explaining everything lol

Mhhh... my very question would be: is it really worth that?
I fully understand the joy of creating a sound that you call your own, but just feel there's a point of diminishing return. Wonder how much poorer his sound would be if he used half of his routing.Don't know, for some reason I believe that a guitar player should put more of their body and less rocket science into their sound.
In the '80s I experienced a period where I was trying to get technology to supply the music what I was not able to generate through my hands (2,000+ $ digital racks, pedals and whatnot, to not mention the VST synths and processors I used in studio), then I realized that it was not me playing music any longer, but rather the gear playing me. There I stopped.Apart from a small Pandora I used to practise when travelling, the Profiler is my first processor in decades.
I'm perfectly aware that my route doesn't apply to everyone, just thinking out loud. -
I personally think he needs a few more pedals lol
-
I personally think he needs a few more feet !

I'm not trying to bash Vernon. I really like his playing, his songs, and his band. But I've never been that impressed with his tone. The fact that he uses all of that to get a tone as average as his seems like a vast waste of time and resources. Sorry.

...I'd be enough with his hands

Yep, more or less my thoughts.

I disagree... He does so much work in a 3 instrument band to fill out the sound ...He uses Rectifiers ...that's his sound .He hasnt felt the need to modernise it too much ...
Have a listen to Vivid or Times up , some great sounds there for the time

You must not have watched the video posted. His tones on Vivid and Times Up were OK I guess, but none of the stuff he is using in his current super-computer set-up was even invented then. I'd hate to be the guy that has to show up at the gig 9 hours early to set all that shit up. -
Oh, pretty sure someone is doing it for him!
