Vernon,

I don't know what your set up, guitar, amp, effects, etc.... is, but you're getting some seriously good tone lately. I enjoy. :)

Vernon.......I'd like to echo Campbell's remarks...

You have found the ultimate in balance and TONE and should one day tell all of your Forum friends just what system(s) you're playing thro', etc., etc.

Something to be really proud of. Search no more!
You've found it!

Thanks Guys,You are making the old mans day.
I am playing my Zumsteel with BL 710 pickups into a Revelation Pre-amp I have modified a bit,Then Effects send to into a Lexicon MPX100,The 100 is set on User program with variation on 15 which is Triplet Rhythm 2
(Delay/Echo Feedback),Input control is 12 o'clock,mix control varies between 8:30 and 10 o'clock ( depending on the tempo of the tune),Output is 12 o'clock,effects lvl/bal is 12 o"clock.adjust is 3 o'clock.Left and right chs feed the MX200 with the input control on 2 o'clock,effects routing in pos 3 (DUAL STEREO ,parallel)There's 199 settings you can use with the 200. I use a USB cable into the computer and program a great many of the settings.Right now I am using Ch A set on compression with the mix control on 2 o'clock.Ch B varies from Chamber to Chorus or studio delay with the mix control no greater then 20%.(do not use the output of the rev,as the Lexicons are cleaner)
Last tune is with Chorus at 10%.
The Stereo output of the 200 is into mixer with Ch A panned left,Ch B panned right.eq controls are at 12 o"clock.I am using Magix Pro edit 14 software for video editing and sometimes use some of the audio effects on the mix.
Have Fun
Vernon

Vernon, That is such nice a song, and I like the way you did it.
You've got your own style, which is very nice, and really smooth.
I always find your playing very relaxing and enjoyable to listen to.
Keep em' coming, your're doing great. :) :) :)
