hahaah no i’m not, couldn’t think of any log-in names and an episode of full house was on as i was registering so I just put down his name hahah

im not nearly as cool as the Stamos we all know and love i’m afraid

anyways, thank you so much for the replies! bill, i must have missed that effectology series. it seems that you achieve a very similar tone using picking, while Ed uses strumming. I’m gonna pick up a Memory Man today and see what I can do.

he is playing around the 1-5th position on the fretboard, which leads me to believe he is using his HOG to create some sort of big octave effect along with the multi-tap delay.

I’m also assuming that he has the HOG off when he is playing the beginning part, which is just the low notes that sound like a string quartet stirring to life, bowing back and forth rapidly… and then when he plays the full chords, he hits the HOG on and allows the octave effect to come through on the big chords.

though I may be wrong. my biggest problem is getting those low cello/string notes in the beginning to sound as lifelike and natural as possible. granted, my whole impression of the sound could be more lifelike but that part is particular is especially difficult for me.

so i plan on picking up a memory man and picking nice and softly in the beginning in the multi-tap mode then hit the POG with the ‘symphonic’ octave effect during the ‘bloomy’ part. i’ll also strum lightly rather than pick, as bill does in the reverb effectology series. add a little reverb and we should be good perhaps!

as you can see, i’m quite obsessive about all these little things, which i guess is something i should work on

anyways! if anyone has any other tips, please send them my way
