Scored a Barber Tone Press from Brad over at Tonefactor... It was waiting for me when I got home from work. 


Killer! clips?

I hooked it into my pedal whored rig...... OMG is it nice, even if only playing for a couple minutes! But it's after 11 PM here, I'm nicely buzzed, and I'd rather not bother the neighbors with something loud. This is gonna be good.
brad's the best. i'm actually wearing my tonefactor shirt right now.![]()

funny story. well, not funny haha, but well, anyway.
i had been wearing my Tonefactor shirt at NAMM hoping i'd run into Brad. but we never managed to get together. Sunday, i'm walking through the airport and i hear a guy yell out "hey tonefactor!". i have a sticker on my messenger bag. so i turned around. it was Brad. i've been talking to the guy on various forums for 5 years and buying stuff from him since he opened the site. i remember him talking about the idea of opening Tonefactor way back when we posted on HCFX. and i've had that sticker on that bag for 2 years. nobody's ever said word one to me about it. but the one time somebody notices it, its the guy who owns the company, in the airport.
so we shot the shit for an hour while waiting for our planes. it was cool. the perfect end to that weekend in LA.![]()

So after playing around with the pedal this morning, I have come to one conclusion. It's a permanent resident on my board. I have the settings as such: Volume is about 3:30, Blend is at about 12:30, and the Sustain is up around 4. There is a color pot inside that I haven't adjusted yet, but I might just leave it alone. This pedal makes my clean tone sing... very tight for a country type sound, and nicely squashed for rock. Chords are NO problem, I can't hear any volume drop to speak of going from them to single notes... a distinct problem that my CS3 has. Another thing I like about it is the subtle boost that it gives to the rest of the pedal chain. I don't need to run other pedals with the volume up, and I think that gets rid of some noise issues too.
