AS GEORGE SO MODESTLY STATES, “ I REALLY HAVE NO NEED FOR EFFECTS. I FEEL SORRY FOR SO CALLED GUITAR PLAYERS LIKE JIMI HENDIX AND OTHER POSERS LIKE HIM WHO COULDN’T PLAY THEIR WAY OUT OF A PAPER BAG IF THEY WEREN’T CONSTANTLY STEPPING ON SOME FUZZY BOX. I’M NOT LIKE THAT. I CAN ACTUALY CREATE OR MIMIC THE SOUNDS OF OTHER EFFECTS AND EVEN NATURE BY JUST MANIPULATING THE STRINGS OF THE GUITAR WITH VARIOUS APPENDAGES ON MY BODY. I CONSTANTLY AMAZE MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS”.

LMAO!

is that for real or a joke? when i saw GL a few years ago (after a debacle solo album and reunion? - i went w/ a friend who likes george) he was tap dancing on the pedal board. we were first row right in front of him - grabbed a few pics right off his guitar... ROTF. i thought he did a GREAT job w/ the pedalboard and he had a roadie adjust it periodically... glen

Gotta be a joke. That doesn't sound at all like lynch. anyway, he's a confirmed delay/verb junkie.

PS- Caps lock- take a look.

One of the First songs he learned and one he still plays today to get warmed up is "Voodoo Child". I have a very hard time believing George is suddenly dissing Jimi in such a manner. Gotta be B.S.

Around the time of these recordings, Michael Fuller had introduced George to his new line of effects, Fulltone. These germanium transistor based effects were made to simulate vintage effects used by Jimi Hendrix. As with the use of the Ibanez Tube Screamer, George used the Fulltone '69 overdrive pedal to juice up the Bogner's input section. For long sustainy solos, George had the Fulltone Octafuzz on hand to go through the Fender Super Reverb. The Fulltone Dejavibe chorus/vibrato thickened things up with the old Trower -like "Roto-Vibe" vibe.

"That was one of the coolest sounding rigs I ever had and it only existed for those 2 shows, Essentially, I got to pretend I was Jimi playing "Machine Gun" in band of Gypsies for 2 nights" added George.


I do seem to remember reading that somewhere on an older incarnation of his site, though, in a context where it was clear he was joking. Course, it's not there now...

Either way, thanks for the excuse to go back and surf around his website- cool stuff.

EDIT- ahh, here we go, scroll down:

As you can see, it's at the end of a laundry list about two inches long of "George used no other effects on this album, other than..."

That's not George. Not only does he love delay and other effects, he's always downplaying his abilities (I can recall this in several interviews, and the liner notes in "Will Play For Food").

it's george, all right. It's just his sense of humor. Follow that link.
