I discovered Phil X about 6 months ago through KZfaq and am totally bummed to learn that he’s been rocking long before I heard of him. The bright side is I’ve been catching up on all of his videos. I truly think he’s one of the best rock & Roll guitar players out there.

@Dave Dennis. He's on my twitter account. He sent out begging 'tweets' on his account, asking for donations for his Mother-in-laws hospital bills. People were sending in 5$, 10$ and some were poor and apologising for only giving 1 dollar. I don't like that. He is a big earner not only with Bon Jovi (mega) but with all his other music incomes. PONCE.

Picking harder = higher signal level. I fail to understand what he means about the Plexi sounding farty when you pick harder. Weird.

@justingarcia7722 5 жыл бұрын

When you pick lighter you actually get more sustain and bloom and clarity since you arent forcing the amp to self limit and clip (that's to say running the amp hot like Phil does), that's the nature of the Plexi and it's power section which is looser and slower on the attack, that's the old school approach. Lots of modern amps are very tight and sturdy on the low end because of how the solid state rectifier is designed
