I see Anders as the the kinda guy that hangs in the bar drinkin, I doubt you would find him on the dancefloor so you can forget about sneaking up on him there. So i guess he preffer the bar-pickups, maybe start with a little wink from the other side of the bar before you approach him...
I do not beleive the pedal is maxed out . I have that pedal and I tried it on a marshall in the music shop here and it doesn't sound even close to the tone TFM has. I wasn't allowed to piss around with settings long and had to go but from what I've heard, I don't beleive it's all maxed.
But that's why I'd like to know both pedal AND amp settings.
