I have a headache just looking at these pics. I couldn't imagine trying to do any set-up or maintenance on this rig.

It's true, his guitar tone is just about perfect. And his playing,....obviously the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

Good Lord! Do you need a Ph.D to turn it on?

You bet, he sounds great. I'm just glad I don't have to schlep that thing around.

Man, that diagram is incredibly complex. Dweezil should get some sort of honorary PhD for putting that thing together.

Well it is after all - all his Dad's gear combined with his.

I am sure if he has an issue he could still bypass it all and get by.

Saw him live in Richmond at toads place last year. As close as the real thing as I'll ever get in this life, but I must say, his tone was amazing.

He did have an issue with one of his volume pedals, but they got it fixed.

The showman gene certainly exists in Mr. Zappa the younger.

it's not that complicated. Everything just on loops that are midi controlled. The only complicated part is keeping the noise out.
