Unlocking the Mysteries by Sean Wallace

A song I wrote as a practice exercise for staccato picking with delay back when I was in high school. Enjoy. The influence of this song is Paul Gilbert, check him out if you haven't already he has some really good delay and pick work. Thanks for watching!

Gear used:
Ibanez RG550MXXDY (RG20th Desert Yellow)
Pickups - Breed bridge, FS-1 middle, Air Norton neck (recorded on position 4, middle and neck)
MXR Dynacomp Compressor (Red Box)
Boss DD-3 Delay (in effects loop)
Peavey JSX head
Avatar 212 cab with Celestion Vintage 30s
Recorded with Flip Ultra HD mini camcorder

I wish I had your creativity! This is beautiful :-) I was searching for videos with the FS-1 in the middle position...trying to decide what bridge pickup would match.

@jordanb450 Hey man, first off, thank you so much for the compliment. I'm no more creative than anyone else but it doesn't hurt to hear so. For a bridge pickup, I would go with either the Tone Zone, Breed Bridge, or Crunch Lab. I haven't tried the Crunch Lab yet but I'm dying to and as far as I've heard so far everyone is raving about it. What neck pickup are you using?

[jordanb450]

@quiksilverdew I currently have the factory Ibanez pickups in the RG1550m (V7, S1, V8 or something like that) I was considering either a PAF Pro or a PAF Joe for the neck...I don't know exactly what the difference is between the two. The stock pups are not all that bad, but I am used to playing Strats and the 1550m guitar has a very thin sound when clean. You have an awesome effect in this video, the guitar sounds great!

[quiksilverdew]

@jordanb450 You might prefer the PAF Joe if you want a strattier sound. I like the sound it puts out, but you might also be interested in a Duncan Jazz for the neck.  Amazing neck pickup in my opinion.

[jordanb450]

@quiksilverdew Thank you for the suggestions :-) I was leaning more toward the PAF Joe because I greatly admire the Satch and his style; now I may make the purchase. (btw, how do you like the JSX head? I was torn between that and the Carvin X100b I ended up with)

[quiksilverdew]

@jordanb450 That's funny, I actually had both a JSX and a Carvin X100a. I still have the Carvin but that's just because I can't get much for it (it's a 1981 model and no one wants the "a" model anymore). I sold the JSX but overall I think the JSX was a better amp, but keep in mind that's between the X100a, not b. I think that the JSX is a great amp if you are on a budget of under 1k, but at this point I would rather have a Mesa Mark IV for that style. I'm actually looking into an Axe-FX now.
