Jeff Loomis Discusses His Signature Stone Tone Block at his home studio

[@davidclay8037]

Jeff is an absolute beast. Anything he endorses is always good!

[@StoneToneProducts]

Indeed and a very humble cool artist to work with.

[@StoneToneProducts]

What to expect after installation; Increased attack, sustain for days, note articulation, note separation, even volume on each string, stronger signal output, increased vibration through the neck and body, the harmonic structure is greatly improved while the Lows get tight, the mids sizzle, & the highs have a nice chime so when you adjust the treble it doesn't break up and become harsh or brittle. Sweeps and arpeggios sound so much better. This block improves the full audio Spectrum

The laws of physics prevail here, since everything has a specific resonant frequency, all aspects of sound wave transference is affected by mass and density. Woodwinds, acoustic enclosures and percussion materials are critical to tonality and projection much like the materials used in amphitheater’s or recording studios. Foam reacts differently on a wall versus carpet versus sheet rock and so on. When density and mass of materials are different, the sound characteristics are also different. Why wouldn’t you want to sound unique or different ? And we certainly can’t ignore the laws of physics 💪

The Jeff Loomis block from Stone Tone Products the heart of my LW-1 signature Viper.

[@danomnihility2453]

I tried it. Made my dark sounding baritone come alive! More sustain and clarity. It is no joke!

[@jasonstallworth]

Dude, you’ve got me wanting to check this out.

[@StoneToneProducts]

You won't regret it

[@TheTactical6string]

i recently bought the Kelly PRO and Ive got to say im impressed. I did have my concerns but they were all tampered and im more then happy with it. The neck is just like my usa 85 Charvel which makes me very happy and it just has a great clear tone and is so easy to play. I also like that youve got 4 springs on that Charvel, my E-II M-II has 4 and it flutters more than any other ive ever heard and isnt any firmer than a 2 spring.

[@scottdunn2178]

@@benburnett8109 The difference size blocks are for the different bridge depths (top-mount vs. recessed, etc.). Whether or not your tremolo cover-plate is countersunk will also determine which size block is required.

[@benburnett8109]

@@scottdunn2178 As if the block size matters......this is a unique combination of marketing, voodoo and snake oil.....all rolled into one......

[@scottdunn2178]

@@benburnett8109 Are you on medication, Ben? This isn't about trying to sell another millimeter or two of granite... it's about using the right size block for the depth of your Floyd Rose bridge. Example; an archtop Soloist can use a 42mm block... but that would be too big for a Soloist with a recessed Floyd... you might not be able to get your control plate on. Are things a little clearer now?

[@jgmopar]

I see they added the bevel to the bottom for more travel. Finally someone that makes bigger blocks is doing that. When I get or make bigger blocks I always machine a bevel on the bottom like that for travel. So far with all the blocks I have tested I still go back to the stock Small Floyd Blocks. I have not tested stone so i cant say good or bad.

[@scottdalrymple1716]

I love original Floyd Rose tremolos but unfortunately I don’t have a guitar with one on it anymore. I have an Ibanez Jiva 10, will there ever be a block made that would work on the edge zero KL?

[@StoneToneProducts]

I don't stock that Ibanez model yet I can make you whatever you need so If you'd like, email me some photos of the front & back cavity in several angles to see what you have and we can go from there. My email is [e-mail]

[@kemalardaayar]

Would love to see a scientific comparison. Before and after modification with same guitar + same strings and without changing pickup height + same bridge setup. I am extremely sceptical about "tone wood" kinda stuff. Probably going to effect the sustain just a bit like titanium and brass tremolo blocks. But not sure about the tone.

[@StoneToneProducts]

On my channel George Lynch did a comparison and there's another called John Rainey A-B comparison so as far as scientific data goes, that'll never satisfy everybody's subjective opinion but if you're that curious, put one on your guitar because you won't regret it 👊🏻😎 And then you'll know firsthand..

[@bradlocken2621]

Do you know if this would work on his signature schecter from back in the day?

[@StoneToneProducts]

Depending what model Floyd is on your guitar, is it a six or seven string and what model guitar do you have.

[@bradlocken2621]

@@StoneToneProducts it is a 7 string, schecter JL-7

[@StoneToneProducts]

@@bradlocken2621 I checked with Floyd Rose and they gave me the go ahead that it should fit, make sure when you purchase the block you make a note with either Kate or Sarah would be One of the two ladies taking your order and let them know that you spoke with me, my name is ROBERT, to confirm what model guitar you have that you had a question Prior to purchase whether or not the block would fit just in case it doesn't fit you will have made them aware prior to returning the block if that's what you choose to do but I was told there should be no problem. Any other questions you may have hit me up anytime.

[@bradlocken2621]

@@StoneToneProducts sounds good thanks

[@ddkeegs]

Is it made for traditional Strat Trems?

[@StoneToneProducts]

No, these blocks are for Floyd Rose bridges unlike the Strat bridges that have string through blocks. I have a modified version for the fender vintage six hole base plate and fulcrum style that will be released later this year.

[@ddkeegs]

That Charvel is tasty.

How to get this tone, which pickup is that?

[@brianbutterworth6107]

You forgot #conqueringdystopia

[@StoneToneProducts]

Thanks Brian! Back 2014 was when I gave Jeff his 1st block @ summer Namm, Nashville Tennessee... How the years fly by >>>

[@chrispile3878]

I don't buy it.

[@metallicaspiker16]

I was skeptical at first, but I went ahead and tried it. The tonal characteristics change slightly and the instrument really does resonate quite differently than having a metal block. Jeff’s description of improving clarity and brightness is accurate.

[@GhettoGinny]

I have never heard him talk before. He is so articulate, perfectly enunciated. You would never think he was a heavy metal guitar god LOL!!!
