Bah....not much of a resume if you ask me. :|


:lol: Seriously, congrats Cliff and great purchase choice, Dan!!!
 
Managed to catch Dean a few months back in Denton, Texas, where he appeared with Naked Lunch performing two whole sets of Steely Dan tunes. That show was a special treat, as Dean added an amazing third guitar alongside Naked Lunch's outstanding Michael Crane and Daran DeShazo for the entire night.

Dean was playing PRS through a Matchless that night. Wonder what tones he'll get out of his Axe-Fx?
 
Don't forget the Andy Griffith gospel albums!!! :) Go look at this dudes discography sometime, holy crap! He's played with EVERYBODY!
 
Wonderful, Dean is a personal hero of mine - tremendous player, with a CV that speaks for itself.
Crossing my fingers that Dean will post his experiences with the Axe Fx and perhaps even post presets.
 
Thats great. :D
Dean is the sort of pro player who is extremely thoughtful of his tone & sound. I love his playing on the steely dan albums. That he is now an Axe-Fx user is testament to the unit's quality. It makes you proud.
:)
 
Next you know, you'll get Brad Paisley away from Dr.Z! :)
Nice! As far as clouds parting, rays of sunshine with swirlin clean beauty coming out of a speaker is concerned Parks simply is the shit!
 
Well, I'm working with Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood today.. I'll try and talk to him about it.... Seriously ;-)

Could you pass along a marriage proposal to Carrie for me :oops:
 
Quick update on getting Brad Paisley over to AFX.... An unconfirmed, although regularly reliable, little bird told me that the Dr. Z stuff is more for looks... It's an AC-50 doing most of the work.... More details to follow if I can get some....
