I Found The Prototype! (Where The Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb All Started)

[music] Hello everybody. First off, let's make sure I got some good audio here. Here's my pedals. Here I am.

I'm hanging out with you. Got my laptop. Can you hear me? Can you see me?

And then we'll move on. Let's see here. Yeah, the mail did clean out very nicely. There's my timer to start the live stream.

All right, here we go. Looks like we're doing good. Loud and clear. Well, let's jump right to it.

Um, I told you I'm trying to do more of these impromptu lives and, um, I literally just pulled out some of my research papers, jumped into when I found this, some of the backstory I know about it, and um, that's what we're doing. So, yeah, thanks again for being on here. This is awesome. It was not a microwave beeping.

I use these time timers. They're um this really cool timer that kind of counts down with with a visual cue. Um they were made for ADHD students. I don't think I have ADHD, but it really helps me visually see that and um my family loves them as well.

So, all right. Yep, we're live [sighs] loud and clear. Here it is. So, first disclaimer, it's really important to uh clarify.

I actually don't remember if I or Daniel found this. I can't remember who found it, and I can't quite remember uh the entire scenario, but here's what was going on. This is the proto. It is insane inside.

Um, and I I can tell you all about it, but we were essentially we were digging in the basement at ElectroHarmonics, um, in Queens. I think this was two, three years ago, and this is deep into the book project. If you're not aware of the book project, it's a big deal. I mean, it's six years of interviews and work for me, about four collectively with Daniel and I, Daniel Danger, who might jump on here, I don't know.

But this book, it's in pre-sale right now. It's being published by Thirdman Books, which is Jack White's publishing company. And here's the deal. There's a link in the description.

And I'm going to start shamelessly asking my fans to support this because it's a strange book. It doesn't quite fit. It's like if Ken Burns made a book about guitar technology and creativity. So, it's this ...
