Don't know if it was mentioned earlier, but the guitar sound on MFN seems wrong. There's something unpleasant about the distortion. Sounds like a swarm of angry wasps, like a low-quality budget solid-state amplifier with gain maxed out. I'm only going by downloads and youtube clips. I suppose it sounds better in concert.

it's just the kemper not being 100% perfect as a real thing, it's not perfect live too, still it sounds really great live as others said, it's like a 9/10 instead of a 10/10 tone

Yes. Somehow distrorted sounds are not so lively and the note does not ring as long as I would expect with tube amps. Might be a placebo effect of course...

Finally a "new" guitar. So we can add the Fender 1954 vintage "Jurrasic" Stratocaster  ;D

I think he's been using a reissue for a while?

Guy re Kemper: "They are never going to be the real thing but Mark likes them"

Even Guy admits, maybe they should tell MK that he doesn't have to carry the tube amps himself ?

A real mistery

Guy Fletcher mentions in his diary that the new Pensa is used on two songs of the set. One of these songs is "Piper to the end".
Any idea on which other song it is used?

Negates the need for a guitar change between Romeo and Bacon Roll then.  I wondered why he didn't just play Romeo outro solo with the blue Pensa before.

Makes sense as he played Romeo on the neck pickup this tour instead of the neck/middle pickups, the new Pensa comes close, great sound but I prefer the Strat with neck/middle pickups (STP sound).
