Absolute Proof that Will has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things ALEMBIC: As Mica pointed out, he's been playing them since the 70's.
For guys who don't wear a 44 Long like me, a Series package in one of the 'smaller' shapes makes a lot of sense. But leave it to Will to dream up these two 'chopped and channeled' hot rods !
Will had explained to me that it just got confusing, ultimately, to run a S2 through a SuperFilter, as the two together offered so much resolution and duplication in a lot of ways, you could chase a tone for days. So he left the 'Filter in the rack, ran gain/blend only on the bass, and it was off to the races. Chrome parts, no LED's, no 1/4.
This somehow reminds me of the Street/Comp factory Porsches (think of the RS versions over the years) where there's lots of engine and suspension, but no AC or carpet or radio. Built expressly for speed, like these two.
I bought my Elan from Will, and can not recommend him highly enough. IF you're about to part with serious cash, he's EXACTLY the kind of guy you want to deal with. And as you can see, he DOES know his ALEMBICs !
Terrific ideas and terrific axes, Will.
All the Best,
