Not your bread & butter ES-175 tone

I was expecting a modern ES-175, not a 1950s with P90s! Actually, with the exception of the bass there is a lot of vintage gear on that stage.

These guys got some chops. I liked this. Nice to hear someone doing something different. It doesn't sound like the same old same old.

I pick up a kinda oriental/celtic hybrid march thing. I've been there myself. But he's got the bag-pipey sound which makes it better!

I enjoyed this a lot.

I didn't expect to like them, but I find myself going back to this band for more. And Takeshi kinda looks like Barney Kessel. lol

I heard the exact same thing.

Dig it.

Good for them, fun stuff. Is he going through and octave pedal or something?

[ccroft]

I would say octave pedal, plus maybe one or 2 somethings.

There used to be a jazz piper in Portland Or that'd sit in with us from time to time in mid '70s. We weren't exactly playing the GASB.

I tried to figure out what it was as well. My guess would be a BOSS Multi Overtone MO-2.

EDIT: No square light blue BOSS pedal is visible around him on the floor, so my guess is wrong.

Do you think a simple octave up mixed in with the original signal can do that?

I rather like it. Not a huge fan of the guitar tone TBH, but I dig the bass and drums and especially the guy’s Fender Rhodes tones.

A prior owner of my ‘88 175 installed a Roland guitar synth pickup on it—subsequently removed, leaving 2 tiny holes above the saddle. I wonder what kind of music he made with it?
