Gary Moore Son Owned! Collector Alert! Seymour Duncan Vise Grip Compressor Pedal Prototype!

Collect a piece of history! Owned by Gary Moore’s son Jack, this is the actual pedal used by Seymour Duncan for the company’s official product launch. (See Video further down) Also used in signal chain on Gary’s blue Firebird in Jack’s tribute video with 2.6 Million views.

Danny Young was responsible for the official product launch videos for several Seymour Duncan products over a 3-year period. During this time, Danny helped with the development of the Catalina Chorus’s award winning Unique Dynamic Expression (RT)

In 2017 Danny teamed up with Gary Moore’s son Jack Moore and combined their studio equipment located at Northgate Studios in Banbury Oxfordshire where the various equipment was used on multiple sessions.

One of the sessions received 2.6 million views on Facebook when Jack and Danny produced the official Gary Moore Tribute in which this pedal was used to get the tone on Gary Moore’s Blue Firebird. The pedal has a blend function which makes it easier to use after the preamp stage which is usually a bad idea due to noise. However, this has long been a method used on nearly 20 official Seymour Duncan Product videos that have outstanding tone!

The prototype has provenance like no other and will make a worthwhile investment as a collector or tone enthusiast!

Summary

The Vise Grip is a studio-grade compressor that gives you unprecedented control over compressed and uncompressed signals at the same time for both classic and bold new sounds.

Description

The Vise Grip is a compressor with a twist: its Mid/Full/High Switch works together with the Blend control to let through the complete dry tone, or just the highs or mids along with your compressed signal. Use it to express more of your playing dynamics even when the compression is at its squishiest. Use it to boost the mids for soloing. Use it to retain crystal-clear high-end on jangly chords. Or use it to play above the compression threshold to bring the natural snap back to individual notes or a riff when you really dig in. In other words, it’s a compressor that doesn’t tie you to the rules of compression. It can also do everything other compressors can: it has Attack, Volume and Sustain controls to tame loud volume peaks, boost low-level signals, add a smooth Motown feel to clean rhythms, put more confidence in your legato licks, more crunch in your metal tones and more twang in your country pickin’. And it’s studio-quality, so you can use it as an insert effect when you’re recording other instruments like acoustic guitar, drums, keys or vocals.
