Both in noise level lowering, and in being able to run certain overdrives at 12 volts. Props!

I'm sure it's not easy at first and I think it would be tougher on my wife since she's a stay-at-home mom right now. As far as "what not to do", I would say don't assume that your audience know anything but at the same time not to make it too heavy on the theory. It's quite hard to balance between the two. At first, I didn't know what to expect. After a month, I think I know somewhat where the guys are as far as skills and which area to focus on. It might be a little different for your case since you will be doing a clinic as supposed to us, we are very loose & informal in our sessions. Oh yeah, one more "not to do" ... don't ever mention modes if you're not ready to explain it to eager teenagers! :) I hope this helps & God bless! Thanks Dan.

My daughter (going to be 3 in Apr) just started pre-school today as my wife is going back to work. We are adjusting to the change of having the kids away from home for part of the day. Regarding the Fri Night Jams, any tips on what not to do? I did one clinic at my old church for some high schoolers and my friend asked me to do a guitar clinic at his church.

No, I didn't get a response from Mr. Hermida which kinda ticks me off a bit. I'm sure he's busy, but part of the business is catering to your customer base. Oh well, this might be the last purchase from his company! Thanks Larry! No, I didn’t get a response from Mr. Hermida which kinda ticks me off a bit.

Congrats on the PP2. I've been dying to run my pedals at 12v just to see what happens. hehe. And yeah, the Fender Tele twang is really coming back into all styles of music. Plus the playability (ie, the butta neck). The LP sometimes just feels like a block of wood. Keep it up! BTW, did you ever get a response from Hermida on what exactly the mid knob does on the Zen?
