was anything else ever said about that custom shop cliff hanger pedal that was sold a while back? I had been looking forward to hearing about it.

cool, I was wondering the same myself....
Yes lots of gain potential - if y'all didnt get the visual pun a cliff is basically a 'wall of rock ' and it has a wide variety of distortion intensities - but yeah it might overrun a little guy
... looking forward to hearing how it works with the other amp/speaker combos...

Oh I forgot about this...
I made this vid to test various mic positions and show how much simply changing mic position can effect the recorded sound.... , its sloppy but the distortion is the Cliff Hanger

thanks -- yeah it amazing what you can do just moving t he mic.... especially double trackingfrom too different spots
or try running two mics to your PA split a bit left/right can sound huge (being able t o flip the phase is important here too...)

Donner,
Thanks for another great demonstration.
I saw a write up recently on TGP where a guy asked about replacing his mic and this and that to get a better sound. A couple of senior members rolled in and told him to keep his stuff, move the mic around, and mark the spots on the grill cloth (with non-stick tape) where it sounded the sweetest. I now see why. I'd certainly like to try that two mic set up.
Nice playing, too, by the way and nice pedal!!
