I requested it, but I didn't think you would actually make another clip! Your clips are so deceiving because I don't think I would sound anything like you with the pedal. Thanks for the killer clip.

[softclipper]

Amazing! :dude

[GuitarsFromMars]

Chuck,I really like the feel&tone on this one.It rocks.

[todd richman]

Really good. Throaty and delicious dirt tones. I can see that pedal being good for swampy classic blues rock too.

[Galo]

That is what I'm talking about. Make it go to 12 full blast.
Great stuff.

[ktp_blues]

By the way, is this on the clean or overdrive channel of the D'lite?

[cdaloia]

It's the clean channel on 2.
If I really opened it up it would be scary but I would get evicted for sure!
Lot's of fun.........

[A440]

sounds great! I might have to get on the list!

how does it clean up with the vol knob?

[gweeterman1]

nice clip!

[wedewer]

Great clip. very tasty licks. Very cool backing track. Is that backing track available for download anywhere?

[JiMB]

Sounds great Chuck.

Always love hearing you play!

Chuck

That is the clip that caused me to order one. Should be here tomorrow.
Thanks for making these great sounding and playing clips and also for giving me Alf's e-mail address.

[Snail]

Great sounding pedal and cool playing! Thanks!

[nibus]

cool!

[thirsty one]

D'Liteful:cool:

As others have noted, super playing and just a great tone.

[Webfoot]

Wow... that's what we're talking about...

[astigtigas]

damn great clips man!!!

[Wheeler004]

Smoking!

[scottl]

Yeah baby! Stacked augmented triad lick here I come!!! I will be pinching this one when I get home, I like how it sat against the harmony and then how you resolved it.

I played the pedal at NAMM. It was fabulous. Alf videoed it. I'll have to get a copy.

[Bigtone]

Chuck you shredder! Nice tone, and the playing goes without saying,

Best part is that first note you just hung onto, guitar players are THE worst for noodling, and here's a guy the can actually noodle, and you didn't,


Did I tell you how much I liked the noodling at the very end though?:drool

Just about perfect.

[Wagster]

I love it and you rock!

[Dana Olsen]

Man Chuck -

That sounds fantastic, great playing as usual too.

Thanks, Dana O.

[jamison162]

That D-lite tone is really coming through though. How much of that clip is influenced by the amp vs. the pedal?

Reminds me of Kingsley's, I've never heard a bad clip of anything through a Kingsley.

Rock on man! Sounds great.

[Bigtone]

Scarey good , the pedal okay too, Bigtone

Granted, the D'Lite sounds great but I've heard this pedal through a super and a deluxe and it's there.

Rock on man! Sounds great.I think Chuck said it was the clean channel (see above quote) - so that D'Lite amp itself not so much an influence on the tone of the pedal in this clip, but I think the player probably has a bunch to do with it (GRIN - ya think?)

Thanks, Dana O.

[Unburst]

You're a monster, Chuck, great tone too.

Longer clip please!

Chuck Hi Chuck, How is it in producing artificial harmonics? Does it scream easily? Would you consider it high gain pedal like for rock....lor even for 80s heavy metal tones?

[cdaloia]

Hey Phil,

Artificial harmonics sure, but they really come from the player and where and how you hit the string. I do think it's a really screaming pedal yea. And def a higher gain pedal. Not like the Zen although you can calm it down and get pretty clean sounds too but to me it really barks and that's the fun in this one.
I'm sure you could dial in some 80's tones from this one too. It has a huge range. My clip is through the clean D'Lite channel on 2 and it's doing it so if you crank it..........boom
I love all of Alf's stuff and this one really has my attention.

edit: Phil is this what you mean?

Chuck I hear it in the first clip.... reminds me of Neil Schon solos. hehehe

[Mark Robinson]

Fantastic in every way! Thanks for posting.:dude

[cdaloia]

I heard Galo's clip and remembered some clips that I did with the Hermida distortion.

Thanks Galo!

Chuck

[csills]

[eddie101]
