Gretsch Synchromatic, Blues, and more coffee

Sunday afternoon in the studio. Trying to come to terms with flatwound strings. Gretsch G100BKCE Synchro into an OCD v.4 pedal, into a Fender Twin. Recording goes Acoustic / Clean / OD at the turnarounds. Comments welcome.

Thanks guys. Your support is appreciated!!

You could dirty it up with more crunch. I used the bare minimum in this video pedal has the crunch set to like 6%. (Fulltone OCD v.4)

how does this guitar handle effects? like a wah, chorus, crunch, fuzz, tremolo? yah know.

[Kur0y4m4]

@JacobHilbrich The only effect Ive ever used would be overdrive. (Fulltone OCD v.4). You can see and hear the pedal in the video here. (Ive probably got the crunch dialed at about 25% or so.) As far as chorus and tremolo... People use that with Gretches all day long with fine effect. I dont think I've heard any Gretsch with a fuzz pedal. I might give that a try with my Tennessee Rose.

[Kur0y4m4]

Yes, th PB or even regular B do work. I also heard they don't work... but on this guitar they do. There's nothing special about the pickup other than it is a fairly fat single coil. Not as big as a P90 or even Jazzmaster coil, but bigger than a typical Fender single coil. So running into a clean Fender Twin, with just me, myself, and I... it seems to work fine. I havent tried it in a band scenario, or otherwise tried it in a mix.

Yeah, the G100, and G400 (Pure acoustic archtops) will be harder to find and likely to be more expensive because of it. Ive tried the G100, using phosphor bronze (not steel) strings its got a nice warm sound I think youll like. Good Luck
