Hey y’all, it’s me, the sick riff guy. Im on a new account now A little cover and salute to one of my absolute guitar icons, since I have finally attained a USA PRS. I’ve been dreaming of owning a core PRS for a long time, and since I recently graduated university with a degree in music and production, I thought I’d finally pull the trigger to celebrate, so here she is! 2017 Tremonti in Violet. Though the previous owner appears to have left her out of the case and possibly in the sun, and the once rich purple has faded to a delicious pink (looks better this way)

Been super busy with work recently, and did not spend a lot of time on this cover. The vocals are all performed in one day while I was midway into somehow catching the flu in the middle of summer. It’s not perfect but I’m still pretty happy with it. It’s an homage, and I can’t say any of the parts are played exactly to how the original is, as much as allowing my own stylistic influences in a little bit both in parts and production. Recorded the whole thing in 2 days and mixed it on the third, so it’s a little rough round the edges but it’s still cool. My EP is in the works at the moment and I promise it’ll sound a lot better when it released

Disclaimer: All rhythm guitar parts are mimed/lip synced since this is more of a music video than a performative piece. It was easier to record the rhythm parts as I would backing and then film after. However, all solo/lead parts are live and match exactly to what you see on video. Anyway, hope yall enjoy :)

Ok this might get complicated so let me explain. I’m aware that the more I talk the less this might make sense, and my poorly drawn examples probably make this a lot worse, not better but it’s too late and I’m just gonna keep going.
So I’ve got two pedals, Pedal A (on the right) is just a normal pedal, in and out and then I’ve got a second pedal (B) that has an FX loop on it. So pedal A can be run in series in front of pedal B, or in the FX loop. And both the series and parallel setups sound insanely good, but different.

Im wondering if there’s a pedal that can switch the location of the pedal in the chain (setup three)
The pedal has 3 ins and outs, one is the guitar in, and the out into Pedal B, as would be series, and the last is the same thing but through the loop of Pedal B. Then pedal A is connected to the loop of this hypothetical pedal which then switches between running the loop containing Pedal A through the series chain and the FX loop chain.

As I said im super over complicating this but ignoring the loops and pedal B and A. It seems reasonable as something that should exist that when switched, inserts a signal path into one of two loops connected to said pedal.

Am I explaining this well? Idk. This all started with me looking at my Little Lehle and thinking “yeah that could do it” but turns out it can’t. And now I’m trying to find if it exists at all. Let me know I guess 🤷

Edit: Ya’ll have had some very cool, smart and interesting suggestions for me. A lot of you have suggested something like the Boss ES or MS Series; Gigirig G3; Morningstar ML5R; etc. These are all great suggestions, and I appreciate your help, but I’m not sure I’d be willing to implement something like that, at least not for now. Those things are big, and decently hefty in price. I’m currently looking at building out my board properly. Currently I’m using a Pedaltrain Classic 1 and I’m looking to expand to a ProFX. It’s a pretty big board, but even so with all the pedals I plan on sticking on it there is not much remaining real estate to fit a large switcher at the moment. On top of that, I’m thinking of accumulating pedals like 1 every few months as and when I can afford it, so these switchers are a little too pricey for the time being. Lastly, I’ve got a lot of pedals I’m planning to fit onto my board, but I still don’t think there’s enough to warrant such large switchers, once again for the time being. I’d love to look into building out a bigass rig with a bigass switcher on it some day, but I’m not sure it’s going to be particularly helpful for me at the moment. I really appreciate the suggestions though, and thanks for your support xxx
