DESCRIPTION:
Recording and performance artist Stefano Ronchi http://www.stefanoronchiblues.com/ playing a 1967 Fender Telecaster loaded with his favorite custom wound Broadcaster voiced boutique pick ups made by T.B. Dahlem. These pick ups are made w. the artists' dynamic way of playing in mind. Stefano Ronchi is known for not using any effect pedals most of the time. He is also known for his exceptionally natural feel for bringing out a guitar's individual character in tone.
The amp's settings such as the involved reverb, the vibrato and the EQ set on the trebly side is not what we would have typically been using on a guitar demo, but we felt that we didn't want to interfere with the artist's preferred setting. Instead we preferred to put him into a position where he felt naturally comfortable.
In the end this video turns out to be a nice mix of both, a capture of this fine artist's playing style and a demo of how he uses Dahlem Pick Ups to express his music.

This quick demo has been made in Berlin/ Germany during Stefano's Germany tour in Feb. 2013.

On a more technical side, the tone signal is going through an early stock 70ies Fender Princeton Reverb amplifier w. its' stck. 10" speaker and with its' mostly original stock tubes. Therefore some odd harmonics might occure here and there. We felt to leave the amp alone as it really has some nice chime and character even w. the old tubes.
The settings were set according to the artist's preference. We'll have to look up the still shots for more details.
