I don't know why but I dig these colors - a real 80s statement.

Cheers Stephan

I have a gig next weekend playing nothing but Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and other 80s fun hits, so it'll be perfect for that job!

Got the appropriate strap in the mail just 30min ago too.

Just installed my second Dreamcatcher, made a HUGE difference from the stock Jem Jr bridge pickup.
Now I have to get a Rainmaker or two...

I really didn’t notice. One was a short video...a couple of minutes long and another was one of Petrucci playing.

That first video is me!   Figured it was worth throwing something quick together as there was no info anywhere. At the time I recorded it I didn't know anything about it specs.
I assumed ceramic though, based on his previous pickups.

Sounds just killer, just ordered another one for my Jem Jr. Going to order a Rainmaker soon too.

NB: The Dreamcather is taller than the Tone Zone it replaced, so in this guitar with direct-mounted pickups I had to mount it without any foam or anything under it to get it low enough.
The Rainmaker is the same height as the TZ, I emailed them and asked.

Your vid sounded great!
It was the first one I watched. It sounded so full and clear. Great job!

Talk to me about what the rest of your rig looked like.
I’m thinking of putting one of these in my LP Std. Played through a Quickrod.

Yeah full and clear describes it well. The TZ was more full and muddy in comaprison.

Rig was simple, Helix running a Friedman model, with some stereo delay. Ownhammer IR I think
