Re: Anyone read the Eric Johnson equipment article in the new GP?
quote:
"EJ claims that the screw that holds on the bottom plate affects the sound, hence the rubber band holding it together. He also places his Tube Driver on top of an Echoplex because it sounds better there."
Sounds like mr. johnson has something that we all like to call "obsessive, compulsive disorder". Seriously, though, changing from Sovtek to Mullard tubes is one thing, or even different makes of IC's or transistors is reasonable, but some of his statements are really assanine, and insult the intelligence of most people... c'mon... common sense people...I wonder how many kids are out there, trying different manufacturers of rubber bands on their fuzzfaces just to get the EJ tone. I would say the rubber band is there to ease changing batteries, myself, but hey, whatever floats your boat
