i just don't know how ed will use it. i guess i'll see in a month or so

the normal frantone is A/B/both.

could even be A Deluxe B deluxe and C Massive wall of 48 marshall 4x12's borrowed from Yngwie.

Yeah, I'm gonna go with that hypothesis and say that Ed is probably dressed like DLR circa 1980.

I think this is a strong hypothesis. Although I think you should be sure to include that he will be playing a pink charvel... more shredding on this album for sure... likely some flanger and chorus on his tone too.

Stone will play key-tar. Mike will be on a floyd equipped jackson... amps, a wall of Marshall JCM 900s.

Matt will have digital drums and Jeff will be sporting some new "enhancements" ala the bass player in Spinal Tap.

It's going to be a good tour.

this is exciting as shit! Totally pumped to have a change in eds sound. his clean tone has always been great, but his overdrive sounds like shit on songs like lukin, rvm,etc...

And hey, if ed's gotten better on guitar....im all for it. afterall, a man that writes riffs such as "sad" "corduroy" "RVM", Grievance, insignificance...

is alright in my book and i think this improved tone, or at least attempt at some change up and more options for him may benefit greatly...

im just excited for a new kind of pearl jam....

It makes more sense and fits into the grand scheme of the band better, not to mention, anyone that doubts this move should go into a local guitar establishment, pick up a P90 equipped guitar plug into a tweed and crank it to just over half way. If you aren't in sonic bliss in less than a second, you have no soul.

pearl jam is too good of a band/unit, too good of musicians to not attempt to be great...

which i think now they are finally going to try for.

im excited for the change up, didnt he use channel switching in 95? i thought so....

Is it possible that they are using the multpile amp set up to pan phaser and chrous into stero sound?
