Last week I demoed JJ's Guitar Pickups '59 Set and copped some flak for using too much reverb and delay (which I quite like). So I've revisited that theme to show you what they sound like with basic Fender combos and just a hint of spring reverb. That was the main reason for this video. However, as I tend to do, I went too far and ended up writing a patch for the Axe which I've called "Kermit's Rig" after the guitar's nickname (it's green, a bit) and which I now share with you. That is all. Thank you for watching.

This patch was written in Axe-FX III FW 26.02 beta. You'll need to be running it or something later for this one to work. I haven't tested it on FM9 or FM3 machines yet, so I'll leave that to you.
Many thanks to my friend, Lindsay Hart, for strapping Kermit together so well. This guitar's a killer, mate!
