J-MOD 100 Controls Walk-through
I've been waiting for a video like this! I will say, it's not what I was thinking (the best that I can determine through the encoding of YouTube) but I'm intrigued. I enjoyed how they used the new Super Eagle II to demo along with the J-MOD.

That said, it definitely seems like pedals and processing is required to bring out

The Opening Act
Welcome! My intention is to grow this site as much as I'm learning about some of my favorite musicians to share with everyone.

I hope you find the website informative and if
