    Greg H.

    Frank M.

    Dennis F.

    Michael K.

    David McCain
    Great sounding Tube Driver!
    cristiano b.

    Michael K.
    Dweezil played guitar better at 13 than I do today
    David McCain

    GratefulIra

    Michael K.
    thats a mean fuzz tone
    David McCain
    Future idea for DZ: Steve Vai's birthday is coming up and the band should do an out of tune Zappa version of Happy Birthday for Steve!
    Frank M.
    August 2 El Cajon I can’t wait
    Med B.
    Ah the new guitar
    David McCain
    That custom is a thing of beauty. Sounds RIPPIN.'
    Phil Cremer
    Everyone's going to hate me for saying this: But I'd easily play ($) for streams like this.
    Med B.
    We're all a bunch of Guitar Geeks
    Frank M.
    Guitar whores thankyou
    Med B.
    Frank M. yes Guitar Whores works for me
    David McCain
    Guitar Whores is good. I prefer Geetar Dweebs, personally ( haha ).
    Med B.
    This is PURE AWESOMENESS
    cristiano b.
    nah creamer, not for this but for a live show well recorded I would pay sure
    David McCain
    Love to hear some univibe with Frank's melodies.
    Mr. Jim
    Any plans to bring the tour to Asheville or Charlotte?
    Frank M.
    2 heads are better than one
    Med B.
    Hopefully Dweezil Does London
    Dennis F.
    Im beside myself waiting for the Dynaflanger.....
    cristiano b.
    that sounds good
    Phil Cremer
    I'd call it living vicariously through DZ.
    Emergency Man
    EmergencyMan
    Carstens
    groovy!
    Emergency Man
    I'm a drummer...what Guitar is this?
    cristiano b.
    i love the "alligator" plate4
    Emergency Man
    Looks like a Strat...
    Frank M.
    With a whammy bar
    Med B.
    It's a Shabat Guitar
    Emergency Man
    Thanks!
    Med B.
    Made by Avi Shabat, Dweezil's new distraction...
    cristiano b.
    damn I was hoping dweezil would tell us his live impressions
    Dirk F.
    cristiano b.: Exactly, would be nice.
    Emergency Man
    Think "Shabat" is a Hebrew term...
    Dennis F.
    Emergency Man people refer to that type of guitar as a super strat there are many makers of their own versions.
    Med B.
    Dweezil is in the zone, he's doing a SHUT UP AND PLAY YER GUITAR...
    Emergency Man
    Thanks Dennis
    Phil Cremer
    True Med B. I'd like a little idea of "what" he's tweaking, punching or using.
    Med B.
    Jeff Beck style, LOVE IT
    Joe T.
    The Clean tone on this is VERY Freak Out!
    Med B.
    OH NO DUDE THE PENTACOSTAL NOTES
    cristiano b.
    shiiiiiiiiii look at that
    David McCain
    Jeff Beck tone with a touch of meat!
    Dennis F.
    I am now offically "in church"
    Med B.
    Jeff Beck with a touch of Satan and Eddie
    Frank M.
    i look away for a second and you do that!…..
    Med B.
    Anyone playing along with their guitars? If so which guitar models?
    David McCain
    I presume all of these pedals will need a power source. That's a lot of cables!
    cristiano b.
    i m playing an sg right now but not playing zappa related stuff
    Med B.
    They are powered by Frank Zappa's Spirit and Dweezil's Genius ;)
    Emergency Man
    I thought countless hours tuning my drums was complicated...this is SERIOUS SHIT! Appreciate the work ethic he got from Frank...
    Med B.
    I'm playing my EVH Wolfgang Special
    David McCain
    Flanger?
    cristiano b.
    yes
    Phil Cremer
    Okay . . . so what's this contraption call?
    AustinBuddy
    Love me some flanger....
    Med B.
    Dyna Flange probably
    Med B.
    I mean DynaFlanger
    Frank M.
    Playing trinity v3 (not a guitar)
    David McCain
    Didn't Frank use the Dyna Flanger rack mount for the " Shut Up. . . " series?
    cristiano b.
    it's called airborn flanger, it's a regular flanger not a dyna one
    cristiano b.
    dweezil has a dynaflager by alexand that he's gonna test I guess because I saw it on instagram
    cristiano b.
    daaaaaamn what are these cool sounds man
    Frank M.
    Oh I want one
    Matt Picone
    Love it
    Carstens
    ...and then you come up for air 8 hrs later. Lost in the pedal zone ;)
    Phil Cremer
    the theremin petal
    cristiano b.
    hizumitas pedal, muff
    Echo P.
    I want those pants!
    Brian J.
    does anyone know who makes the Clown Vomit pedal? i tried looking for it but found nothing
    cristiano b.
    yea i searched too didnt fidn anything
    Frank M.
    please see the Ricky Bobby store for the clothing line
    Echo P.
    :)
    Brian J.
    love the Digitech Freqout, it'd be amazing in this stereo setup he has, being able to do clean feedback on one side and something wild on the other
    David McCain
    I like this effect!
    Brian J.
    zoot!
    David McCain
    Would LOVE to hear a Stereo Ripley guitar with these effects.
    cristiano b.
    shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii look at that sound
    Brian J.
    the perfect pedal for this song
    Brian J.
    god this rocks

    It’s like a bird playing flute is following you around!
    Michael K.
    dental floss
    Mike M.
    is he going through pedal sounds programming the pedal settings etc. into the fractal unit?
    AustinBuddy
    Love the clean sustain!
    Dennis F.
    Sound dropping out
    David McCain
    the audio is cutting in and out right now.
    Doug C
    audio dropping out
    Dirk F.

    cristiano b.
    ah shit i thought it was my headphone dying
    Frank M.
    aughhhhh
    Brian J.

    David McCain
    audio dropping in and out.
    cristiano b.

    Brian J.

    Doug C

    Phil Cremer

    Mr. Jim

    Emergency Man
    Love my Acoustic Drums...
    David McCain
    Refreshed the stream. Still no audio yet. :)
    David McCain
    Hearing what sounds like audio drop outs now.
    Emergency Man
    OY VEY!
    Brian J.
    i hear some little audio pops now and then but that's it
    David McCain
    Charades, anyone?
    Steve A.
    I appear to have lost sound
    Brian J.
    sound is still out on mic at least
    Phil Cremer
    Don't you hate when that happens?
    Mr. Jim
    Cut out when he used thst one black floor pedal
    David McCain
    Secret word of the day: TECHNOLOGY ( HAHA ).
    Steve A.
    Emergency Man
    Hope this doesn't happen at the show in Seattle...
    Steve A.
    Haha!!
    Brian J.
    will this stream be available after? maybe it's just in the live audio
    Emergency Man
    I'm in the front row...
    Doug C
    Front row Chicago!
    David McCain
    Maybe do a quick live Instagram stream giving an update?
    Brian J.
    i guess the Freqout did it's job and made the audio freak out
    Phil Cremer
    Dweezil is showing us the worst feeling in the world.
    Michael Doherty
    Dweezil you sound incredible on guitar! Thanks for allowing us to be flies on the wall today. Can't wait for The Pageant!!!
    Matt Picone
    It was back for a sec!
    David McCain
    So far, the stream is doing great. The guitar playing sounds WONDERFUL! Now, hearing some audio come in and out.
    Brian J.
    two notes! i heard to notes
    Joe D.
    The sound is cutting out
    Doug C
    Blips of sound from the guitar..
    Emergency Man
    As Frank said..."Our job is to play under the most extreme circumstances"
    cristiano b.
    imagine if it's a pedal cutting this on purpose to annoying anyone
    Joe D.
    Check the sound. It's cutting out. Sounds like a loose connection
    Brian J.
    must be the Chase Bliss Lossy lol
    Phil Cremer
    Dweezil is the Man From Utopia.
    cristiano b.
    lmao
    Doug C
    Stream frozen...rebooting?
    cristiano b.
    secret chase bliss pedal that has 6 knobs an dipswitched to cut out signal
    Joe D.
    Could be a noise gate issue or a loose mic cable
    Dweezil
    not sure what the problem is
    Mr. Jim
    One of those black floor pedals loose connection
    AustinBuddy
    There is a digital crackle happening.
    Dweezil
    It's a complicated set up over here and we are testing the bugs
    Doug C
    Ruskie hacking?
    Dweezil
    I can answer some chat questions
    Emergency Man
    Time to write a message on the chalkboard we can see...
    Phil Cremer
    What's the secret behind the "Flim Flam" sound? How much is just the picking style?
    Brian J.
    will the stream be available to view after or is it only live?
    Joe D.
    Also might be digital clipping cutting the sound completely out
    AustinBuddy
    So..what were some of the fuzz pedals you liked best just now, for what songs?
    Dweezil
    we have a few minutes left
    cristiano b.
    tell us the truth, dweezil, it's a new chase bliss pedal cutting the signal and it's a new kind of show\gag
    Mr. Jim
    The guitar cut out when you moved one of those floor pedals
    Dweezil
    stream will end up as a video on the site
    Joe D.
    Getting some crackling sounds
    Dennis M.
    No worries Dweezil-we’re hanging in there with you
    Dweezil
    it can be viewed later on
    Doug C
    Dweezil, that was quite a few boxes in series...what exaclty are you connecting there?
    David McCain
    Sounded great! Love the custom guitar, a thing of beauty. Cheers everyone!
    Mike M.
    is this part of the process you use to program the fractal unit? i.e. running through pedal/tone/song combinations etc?
    Dweezil
    there is a significant delay between what happens here and what appears in your live feed
    Mr. Jim
    Any plans on bring tour to Asheville or Charlotte?
    Joe D.
    I understand. What we're hearing right now is some crackling noises
    42Douglas
    Hey Dweezil, what’s the chances of swinging through central Ohio? I just can’t make it to Cleveland or Cincinnati.
    Emergency Man
    Thanks Dweezil for the hard work from a Drummer...
    Dweezil
    I use the fractal for my live rig so I do test the pedals with it
    Gary .
    Hi Dweezil - which amp models are you using on the Fractal ?
    AustinBuddy
    Video is now frozen
    william p.
    well, i liked what i heard so far!
    Brian J.
    video still working for me
    cristiano b.
    dweezil tell us a bit more about the clown vomit
    Mr. Jim
    Video working here too
    Dweezil
    I'm using the Marshall jtm
    AustinBuddy
    What Fuzz pedals did you liked best just now - for what songs in the upcoming shows?
    Joe D.
    The video portion is fine it's the sound that's crackling
    Dweezil
    The clown vomit pedal is a crazy experimental fuzz pedal that my uncle mage for me
    AustinBuddy
    )video back)
    Dweezil
    All the fuzz pedals I tested today were very useful. They had attitude and character plus they cleaned up well
    AustinBuddy
    Agree!
    Gary .
    Maybe Matt could have Fractal model your favourite pedals
    AustinBuddy
    How the heck can you decide what NOT to use now? :)
    william p.
    is this the slime from the video?
    Joe D.
    It's Nacho DePepe's fault
    Dennis F.
    Is there a particular flanger or two you are leaning towards or like the most ?
    Mr. Jim
    Thanks Dweezil!
    Dweezil
    We have about 4 minutes left on the feed. for the next one, I'll try to have a mic ready so I can give you all my impressions of the pedals
    cristiano b.
    aaaah lovely
    Gary .
    sounds great
    Joe D.
    Cool
    Mike M.
    are there specific criteria you assess the pedals against
    cristiano b.
    i was in for your coments on pedals mostly
    David McCain
    They all sounded unique, the pedals. Loved the flanger one.
    DaveOC
    Great to watch this, thank you.
    william p.
    thanks Dweezil, always entertaining!
    Phil Cremer
    Thank you so much for this stream. Many many more!
    AustinBuddy
    Thanks for doing this DZ - very cool!
    Brian J.
    seeing all this gear is activating my G.A.S., i might have to buy the Alexander Dyna Flanger
    Dweezil
    The problem is a live mic will ruin the guitar sound so I'll have to have someone on standby to constantly muste
    Jeremy D.
    I had no idea clown vomit was custom. I just google and youtube searched it (dont do that)
    Alan T.
    Thank you, sir!
    carol c.
    Hi Dweezil, from me, Toshiro, Jiro & Saburo, (we met you at The Rose in the past), :-)
    Dweezil

    Bucket B.
    totally irrelevent question but what are the chances of getting Buckethead on WTHWIT ?
    Joe D.
    This has been awesome. Thank you very much.
    Doug C
    Thanks Dweezil.
    David McCain
    Thanks for the stream! Great stuff! Have a great rest of your week.

    Phil Cremer
    Your uncle Carl made the Clown Vomit?
    Bucket B.
    just finishing up Jason
    Bucket B.
    dweezil said it'll be available to watch later though
    Dennis F.
    Thanks for sharing with us !
    Dweezil
    criteria for pedals is unique sound and feel. Something that I can react to and improvise with.
    Mr. Jim
    Frozen now.
    Dweezil
    Thanks everyone! I'll see you again soon!
    Joe D.
    He's just standing very still
    Brian J.
    the Freqout was my favorite, especially in the stereo setup
    Bucket B.
    thanks Dweezil - hope you enjoy your sunday

    Andrew B.
    Zoot was amazing
    JOE G.
    is there a chat happening ? If so where do I locate it? Thanks
    Brian J.
    This is it, the live stream is over now but the video will be made available later on to watch in full
    JOE G.
    Dweezil thanks for this was very informative and cool to watch! I thought you got some cool sounds when you combined the blue box and the TubeDriver and later with the Shabatt
    JOE G.
    all of it cool!

    Live Broadcast From Hikari Studios 5-26-24. Watch me test pedals for my guitar rig.

    (Post Note) This was a test for the video system at the studio. We encountered a few glitches but we expect a better result next time. Thanks to everyone who watched it live!

      full marks for trying but without a running commentary about what you are doing  it's a complete waste of time

        Hey Bill,

        It was set up to be a fly on the wall experiment. There wouldn't be a running commentary if it was just me playing on my own. That being said, I do think it would be good to have the ability to give some insight for viewers when I do future live streams. There is an added layer of difficulty with that because the live mic will corrupt the sound of the guitar and the mic would need to be constantly muted or unmuted when I speak. So, working on that.

            Thanks for doing this! I like the CLOWN effect plus Jeff Beck add ons . Also I think some of us like the value of a personal type glimpse into all the rehearsal coolness but seeing some of the sort of messy side of it too!

                We did have multiple tests! All worked well so it was confusing why this one didn’t work as well. We will be doing more to work out all the bugs.
