  Hi Tim - this is Fil, founder of SoloDallas and maker of the Schaffer (Replica). Nice info there! Just wanted to let you and our friends know here that we don't only offer the "Tower" - we have a range of pedals for guitars and bass that supply the same character of the Tower - and therefore the original character of the Schaffer-Vega wireless  - if you want to try one of our pedals just let us know! Thanks, Fil (pedals are priced around USD220, a more affordable price)

  I saw AC/DC in a local dance hall in Sydney with about 30 other people before they were famous. Angus did an extended solo while standing on a chair on the dance floor. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing. I knew instantly that they would conquer the world. I walked home completely freaked out - but in a good way

  Actually met Malcom Young for a brief moment after their concert back in 1983. Was sitting on the hood of my car near their transporters waiting for the after concert traffic nightmare to calm down a bit. 2 guys walked up to me(one was Malcom) and asked if they could bum a couple of cigarettes. I gave them each a marlboro light, lit them up for them and heard a "thanks so much mate" from Malcom as they both walked back towards the trucks. Was just a very brief but memorable encounter from one of the greatest rythym guitarists on earth

  Angus is such an incredibly cool dude. Everyone who's dealt with him and talked about it says he is literally the nicest guy on the planet.

  To me Angus's solo on "Ride On" is perhaps the most overlooked, greatest guitar solo. First a little appetizer, then he gives you the amazing lengthier blues solo. Angus at his core. Blues! Amazing feel!  I'm 50 years old, and I still go back to it when I need to feel. Angus is hell of a physical player. He gets a lot out of his bends and vibrato. 👍 Just for kicks, Norah Jones has a version of "Ride On," as well.

  When Mark Knopfler sings 'check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords', he's singing about George Young. George, Angus and Malcolm, some of the greatest of all time!

  He's the best, he just makes it look so easy that most people don't realise how good he is, he runs a marathon every live show he does, but you never hear him make a mistake.

  I have always wanted to hear the master tapes to back in black so we could hear the entire outro solo. Angus is killing it as it fades.

  A great reminder that playing an instrument is still a physical feat as much as a creative mental endeavor.

  Angus' vibrato, and vibrato on bends, is simply the best! Rock on Angus!

  What I love about Angus is the playing is super aggressive, but everyone who’s met him in studio/on stage says he has a super light touch. What a balance.
