Re: EDP's sighted/not heard & tibetan bowls



well, as mermenroadiesupremo i pretty much know what and how jim thomas 
does
his thing...he uses the edp almost everyshow(not sure about that nite). he
uses it for interludes between tunes, or intros to certain songs but i dont
think it is ever part of the song itself-as far as turning it
on/off/overdub, he uses (2) boss'fs-5u' on/off swithes right there next to
his 'ground control units'-and for that beautiful,beefy,pristine tone his
guitar signal is going straight to fender amp pre-amp(s) before going to
analog/digital/mixer stuff-in our opinion the*only* way to get signal
strengh to efx,etc...seeya,stanner
