Eh, Shawn Lane was known to have played solid 32nd notes, septuplets, etc at around 120 bpm.

Can't beat that ****.

That's still only 28 notes per second (not that this is not extremely fast), but it's hardly 40 or whatever someone said he played.

No, I didn't mean 32nd septuplets. :P I meant 32nds, and septuplets.

I didn't mean the speed itself was all that impressive (by itself). But when you combine switching the rhythmic groupings, and just WHAT he's playing, I find it impressive as hell.

I'm quite aware of what he was CAPABLE of doing. But quite frankly, I don't want to hear 32nd notes at 150 bpm. I find it abrasive to my ears, and irritating most of the time. I only give the above example because he did it more commonly (solos on songs like Get You Back, Gray Pianos Flying, etc etc).

Its a wammy pedal thats used not a wah pedal !
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.

Just search for his name on Google, you'll probably find some old recording of him there.
