cool. I was a Kramer kid as well, until recently. One thing to point out when he explains his gain staging between the peddles, that Duncan JB he is using is super hot compared to normal pickups like dimarzio or the malmsteen Fury. By that I mean I set up my clean sound with the Dimarzio let's say...when I switch out with my Kramer, it already has distortion, which means I would have to dial it way back if I used that guitar for anything other than beefy metal chunk. To be clear I mean my basic chain into the amp is too high gain with the pick ups. This will translate into volume as well (Kramer is basically a very loud guitar with those JB). Cool trick to mimic the neck pick up with the wha wha, but I would think it hard to get it exactly where it needs to be on that swivel. I guess it is an ear thing. But I am a pick up switch guy now and no turning back.
I told the story on here in the past, I saw Amir play in Madrid for Imaculada Ortega and then we hung out with a mutual friend late night in the plaza. I remember we played some Rondeña buleria that was similar, and discussed our rock background and recognizing the overlap of the metal guitar style and flamenco, and these homeless gypsies came over doing palmas for us and we gave them some cash and Amir gave them a joint.
