So being an offset enthusiast I keep coming across loads of other offset players banging on about Kevin Shields and MBV.
I have seen the amps, the 397 pedals and the offsets but I just dont get the appeal.
He has a "sound" that reminds me of turning on all my pedals at once and doing hideous things with the vibrato.
Almost like crossing the irish sea on acid.
Am I in the ball park here or have I not heard the right songs?
The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a
whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct
term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a
rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a
fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term
by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the
term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

I love vanishing point as well, the dub version of it in particular. Xtrmntr will always be one of my favourites of all time. There's just some thing vicious about it.
