I'm pretty sure I've got a patch for this on the AxeFX and it cost a lot less. ;)

You’re better off leaving that to Josh Smith.

This is the bad end of vintage gear snobbery.

He does have a bit of a sweaty uncle about to have a heart attack thing going on, and I agree with Jim, the rig sounded crap, underwhelmed by the cornish pedals especially!

I only managed to watch until he claimed to be holding the actual first ever electric guitar, then I stopped it

Kind of funny piss take of 'most expensive must be better', but kind of self defeating for him huh? I would think a few of his pedals sold because they were rather expensive and people thought that meant better, or they thought it would impress their peers in the look at what i own forum sig. Mad Professor too.

Fascinating to see how much some of these things are worth. I knew the vintage bursts were up there but the Dumble thing surprised me. I agree his playing doesn’t really do anything justice so maybe in the right hands I’d be able hear the difference justifying the $397500 difference from my own rig!

When these technician type people release their own products they'd show you their impressive client list. But most of these were accumulated from wiring up their pedalboards/fx racks, or retubing their amps etc. Definitely the case of Pete Cornish. You don't see a whole lot of his pedals on the boards/racks he put together for stars, mostly just switch gadgets.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio
