“Vintage” vs. “Modern” Pedal Shootout

/0 Comments

Last week, I released an interesting “Vintage” vs. “Modern” shootout between the Roland (pre-BOSS) Phase II versus the Strymon Mobius Phaser. Here is the video:

It really is incredible HOW GREAT some of these older pedals sound! The Roland certainly gives the Mobius a run for its money! I was so intrigued by the Phase II and got so much interest in the various electric string and guitar forums I am a member of, that I decided to demo the pedal in a little more detail here. Please like these videos and leave your comments …

(Disclaimer: The Roland Phase II was not actually USED by the Beatles and Hendrix, as I mentioned in my intro. It came out a little after but was modeled on the early vintage sound of the phasers of that era used by these players)

Oh, and while you are there, please subscribe to my YouTube channels:

Until next time … T

Christmas in September, anyone?

PRESS RELEASE – September 7, 2015: Award-winning Canadian world/jazz/folk/fusion electric violinist and bandmates announce their latest CD street launch – “NEW WORLD”

The Trevor Dick Band (TDB) fronted by Guelph, Ontario, Canada electric violinist, Trevor Dick are excited to announce the “street launch” of their long awaited CD project, New World, today (September 7/15) – http://trevordickband.com/

Coinciding with the release are a number of release concerts planned through 2015 into 2016, starting with their first release concert planned for Sept. 13/15, 6 p.m.in Oshawa, Ontario at Calvary Church.

Award-winning instrumentalist Trevor Dick and his long-time bandmates have entered new territory with the introduction of the Trevor Dick Band’s debut album, New World. This world/jazz/folk fusion project with classical and modern pop/rock underpinning takes you from Africa to Latin America to Europe and North America, erasing all borders.  New World is interesting, experimental, and improvisational. It is complex music, yet accessible to the average listener.

“… That’s what this album is all about – that longing for adventure, that sense of creativity, the drive to explore new territories with reckless abandon.”

Mark Rheaume, of CBC Music writes, “… not many acts can blend so many sounds as easily as the Trevor Dick Band on NEW WORLD. Sonic sweetness from beginning to end. ”

TDB are gearing up to perform this music internationally at Folk, Jazz, Blues and World Music Festivals.

Day 1 at Noble Street

/0 Comments

A great Day 1 with the Band at Noble Street Studios today. We rolled into Noble Street at 11:15 a.m. for our set-up and line checks and were tracking by 2 p.m. after a quick break for lunch.  We then had a productive afternoon tracking two songs: Change the World and Wonderful New World. I am very happy with the sound – beautiful warm, clear crisp tones off the floor of this new world-class down-town Toronto studio. We plan to track 4 songs tomorrow, starting with a new original composition called: African Sun.  Here is a group shot at the end of tracking today. You can also link to, engineer, Richard Cleaver’s site for more pics from Day 1.
