Nice Demo, as always. Was that a bit of Mansun at the end?

it's Chris' American Special Strat, it's lovely. Dig that 70s stock
Empress sent me the pedal to demo for them kindly.

Cheers guys, for some reason my playing was all over the place when I was making it - was completely fine until I hit record and then all over the shop - at least you can hear anyway what a lovely pedal it is.

The same thing happens to me. I can play in front of people on stage, but turn on a web cam and I forget how to play guitar.

Nice demo. It's warm and...'rounded' is the best way I can describe how it sounds. I've not heard a flanger that sounds like that in ages. It's cool to see a pedal that does three sorts of modulation...you often see flange and chorus, or chorus and univibe, but one box that does 'em all is tempting.
Lovely Strat too. Dunno what the colour's called, but it goes well with the maple neck.

Love Empress pedals. Nice Demo Mike.
Somebody local is selling a vintage modified superdelay. I have been weighing whether or no to buy it. Any opinion on the super delay?

I think Mike did a demo of it a while ago.

haha.
and you like the Police and Bryan Adams.
Actually when you played that Bryan Adams song I first thought it was "The Wave" by Balaam and the Angel.

What the hell is wrong with the Police and Bryan Adams?
Not a damn thing.

Nice demo man, good work.
It's also promted me to dig out my wife's Mansun albums, which I'm enjoying thoroughly.
