Hey Dweezil, hi from Australia. I just finished listening to the fantastic Steve Vai episodes. Great job! I'm so excited about the next instalment with Paul Gilbert - EVH and PG are personal faves. By the way, if you check my pics you'll see a couple of Frank photos from his 1976 tour of Australia from a book I wrote this year about The Bondi Lifesaver, a famous 1970s Sydney venue and general hangout for rock lovers and musicians. (it was also a place AC/DC loved to play and a fave hang of Bon Scott's when he lived in the neighbourhood. He'd often be in there playing pinball and getting up to mischief :)
Great episodes with Steve. Love hearing the excitement. Very cool you touched on the Variac and rebiasing the amp. Thats what I did and man; it nails the tone. One thing no one talks about; or they didn't notice, was Eddies amp in all the pics has a larger choke. Larger choke; higher voltage, more sustain and tighter bass response. I am having a bigger choke added to my Plexi right now. Anyway; I really enjoyed hearing you guys break apart each tune. Can't wait to hear what Paul Gilbert has to say. And if he will accept Steve Vai's challenge! LOL

Hi Dweezil,
I just say: thank you, it’s a fantastic ode to King Edward and a listening pleasure.
