PRS SE Semi-Hollow Demo

So yesterday during our live chat I was asked to DEMO my PRS Se Semi-Hollow guitar by a user named Jkilla - I'm trusting that "J" doesn't refer to me.

Here you go Jkilla!

I used my Bad Cat Hot Cat 30r Head through a Heritage 2x12 with vintage 30 speakers. For pedals, I used my TS-808 TubeScreamer first, and then a Wampler Plextasy overdrive. At the end of the clip, I'm using my TS-808 and a Wampler FUZZ together. The delay is an MXR Carbon Copy delay.

If you've never heard of Wampler, you need to check him out... He's a guy that makes custom built pedals, and he's based out of Ft. Wayne Indiana. I've got 2 of his pedals on my board, and I love them! Go to wamplerpedals.com to learn more.
