Thanks very much for the nice compliment, Brian! The first track
originated from a Bob McInturff bass line. One day I got tired of
listening to him warm up on it, and started writing the melody lines.
Bill and Steve added their own touches to the tune, and "Hot Curl" was
born. I play the lead with a Strat set on the middle-pickup position,
routed through a Tech 21 Comptortion pedal. Bill also plays a Strat,
with his favorite pickup setting being the bridge-middle. I am still
searching for the ideal overdrive (no loss of clarity, but nice
"singing" sustain), and lately am running a Blackstone Mosfet Overdrive
(low gain, shut off for rhythm chores) through a KLON pedal (high
volume, very low gain) with reasonably good results. I would be very
interested in learning what pedals (overdrive or otherwise) people on
the list use. Yeah, I know a cranked amp with hot pickups is the purist
way to go, but we can't always play at 120db!
Best regards, Dana Vincent
