    first minute of the video Mac is basically saying "if I were the average consumer I would not look at this pedal, but y'all paid me to be here so lets give it a whirl".

    Sometimes men lose their hair. Mac is human. My hair started thinning around his age. It's still slowly thinning. It's a part of life. Leave the man be. He's a musician, not a hair model.

    • @ThorCarlton
      @ThorCarlton 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      People are evolving to lose their hair. It's a natural process and it's becoming a lot more common. I'm three years younger than Mac and mine has started thinning a bit.

  • @Usualeclectic
    @Usualeclectic 5 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Mac is amazing... he’s got style which so much of us need a shit to sounds to make something unique. Just give the guy a few ingredients and his slow hand bum chic cheesy pepperoni pizza style is stellar and perfect... but he’s trying to learn more. Would be cool if he made a RnR Night Club sister LP.

      You have a lot more control over different parameters than a classic flanger, plus 5 storage presets for you to save your settings. Of course it is also easy to dial in that classic sound too. Check out the full specs at www.earthquakerdevices.com/pyramids
