FM9 Was really 'on' last night...

[Cainer]

...and of course like 3 people were in the room for it

Such a deep groove, and you were on !

 

[Brian Coonan]

3 lucky people! Very cool

 

[grandinq]

That was sweeeeeeet playing!! I got so immersed in your playing and the groove that I was taken aback when you started singing.

 

[mr_fender]

That one has some stank on it! Rhythm section is tight as hell too.

 

[duzie]

Freaking awesome!!!!

 

[scarbodave]

Sounds great. Good grooving.

Did you count the bartender, security and FOH tech in those 3 people? No matter who those people were, but this must have been the best playing they will ever hear live again. Unless you play there again.

 

[Cainer]

Thanks all! I put the whole show on the Tube of You here if you want to check it out

Rockin, GC! And you know I love that rhythm section.

Question, GC - Are you the only blues wrangler you know of using modeling? I can't think of another one that I've seen doing the club circuit.

JW Jones uses a Kemper, and last time I saw Anthony Gomes (prob 5 years ago when we played the same festival) he was as well. Other than that I'm not sure - I don't know of any personally.

TBH, for as long as I've been using modelers I've thought I would have felt weird showing up with one at the blues jams I used to do a lot way back when. People had old Fender or Ampeg amps as I recall, and old LPs, strats, 335s, etc. No Marshalls in my crowd.

Of course that was before there was digital anything. But still, that was a consciously organic crew. Even if it sounded good, it would have been weird.

Luckily or not, I'm sure it's less of an issue now, but not gone, and I bet it depends a lot on where you are.

Interestingly enough, @Cainer JW Jones is also Canadian. Something in the Moosehead up that way? ;-)

In all your posted vids your tone is always killer and if I didn't know it was Fractal I wouldn't even suspect. Edge of breakup tones are always the hardest for modeling to get right and yet here we are. What an age we live in!

As always smoking !

yeah there's still a lot of that sort of 'old-school' stuff in the blues scenes - one of my favorite stories to tell is when a guy came up to me at a gig where there was a little Fender amp on stage behind me, and asked "how are you getting that huge tone out of that little thing?!?" and then I told him that amp wasn't actually plugged in, and showed him the Fractal - he thought for a minute, then said "yeah, I thought it sounded digital.." lol so people hear with their eyes and their preconceived notions color everything.
But such is the way in many parts of the blues world - they want everything to remain exactly as it was at some arbitrary point in the past.

Dude, you’re “On” every time! I absolutely love your style and tone. If I thought I could get your sound to work with my setup, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy your patch. It’s a shame there weren’t more people there.
