Great news... I would have thought that trying to retroactively trademark a design would be laughed out of court right away.
Out of curiosity - if Fender HAD won, could Suhr et al. just shave, say, a millimeter off of one of the horns or something, so the shape would be similar to a strat, but not exactly the same?

Put simply: no. This isn't a scheduled gig or a tour date.

As far as I know, it's not managed or publicised: if it happens it happens. If Guthrie is suddenly called away to Kazakhstan to play Waves on a Dombra for national TV: we get great players like Dave Kilminster or Lee Hodgson playing with Seth, Zak, Pete instead and fitting in fine - it throws new stuff into the mix and is immensely enjoyable.

If a local hears from Guthrie that he reckons he might be there next week; we mention it here. If he isn't there; we've only relayed a message in good faith, we're not booking agents.

the thing with the volumepedal in the FX loop won't work
it's like turning down the master volume

the thing with the power amp overdrive needs a hot signal going into the poweramp and if that signal has been lowered by a volume pedal it will not distort or compress, whatever

an attenuator is the thing you need if you want poweramp compression while playing at moderate volume levels, e.g. a THD hotplate

Well,

After a lot of afternoons spent with my guitar, amp and pedals, I finally have a tone that I'm quite proud of. It's not necessarily a Guthrie-esque tone, but it does the job for me. The problem with the Valvekings is that they tend to have a lot of bass of their own, so I have some weird settings on the clean channel for example.

My rig is now this:

- Whammy IV
- Dunlop GCB95 Crybaby wah (modded)
- Visualsound Jekyll and Hyde (with the ts808 clone side serving the function of a gain-boost for the amp, the amp's own boost is quite bright/brittle).
Sometimes I use the MXR ZW44 for this, the Zakk Wylde signature overdrive, because it also responds very well to my playing.
- MXR EVH phase 90

> into the Valveking amp

loop:

- Boss DD6 digital delay

Sometimes I throw in a nasty Digitech Multi Chorus for some ugly Mike-Stern sounds, but often this is it.
Oh, and of course there is a Boss TU 2 for tuning, often before the wah/whammy, or before the delay.

Personally I hate having to use an fx-loop, just some basic pedals are good enough for me (for some freaky sounds), but delay makes playing a lot easier. (that's why I always practice without it).

My guitar is an Ibanez S470 DXQM Quilted Maple top (dark/cherry red), with the standard pickups and the ZR trem.

I do have another question though: the 'solo-boost' function in the new Guthrie signature from Suhr, does it work on an active-eq basis, or is it an all passive circuit? I'd like to install something similar on my Ibanez.

to get a good Guthrie tone throw all the effects out the door and run straight into the amp. Might want some good pickups for your Ibanez. I'd suggest some Seymour Duncans. I've got good experience running different guitar with duncans through a Valveking at school.

Hi,

They don't sell tickets you just pay to get in

Erotic Cakes stuff is sometimes played if 3/5 of the band are starting a tour or 2/5 of the band aren't there

I don't know if Guthrie'll be there that night.
