This is the song that hooked me on Prog Metal. Was just starting to learn how to play guitar and was OBSESSED. with Van Halen, and then more classic, easy to play stuff like Bob Seger and whatnot.

Then one day, I was riding down the road, and I had one of those portable Satellite Radio things (I think it was XM.) I was scrolling through and saw Dream Theater was playing on one of the stations, and stopped on it, and because we were going down the road and turning and stuff, it was a pain in the ass to keep the antenna pointed to where I could listen.

But I will say it changed everything for me music-wise. It blew my mind at the time that there was people that could play things like that and keep up with all the parts that were coming and going.

Still one of my favorite DT songs today.

I hadn’t seen the CBA Delay mock-up, but I imagine it was wild. The PreAmp MKii is a killer drive pedal, but I like stacking drives, so I traded it towards an amp.

The menu-diving thing isn’t really the way I like to do things either, but I’m telling ya, if you get a chance to play around with the H90, you definitely should. It’s crazy how much you can do with it.

The El Cap is one of my favorite delays. I went back and forth between it, a Way Huge Supa Puss, and the Chase Bliss Tonal Recall, and ultimately went with the TR.

Stuck with the TR until about a month ago, when I switched over to an Eventide H90 for most of my Non-Drive related effects, but I am thinking about getting another El Cap just for a small board to carry around to little jams.

Are you running a MIDI setup or anything?

I have been waiting for this. Got really excited when I saw them posting pictures in the studio a while back.
