1. Decided to look for some recent news on DeWolff. They'll be at the Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival

this June, in Ballyshannon, Ireland.

Another of the internation artists who'll be there is Finnish blues guitarist Erja Lyytinen. I've posted some of her videos here.

2. Dig Some Of It

I like the arrangement on the studio version, and I really like the 7/4 timing of the verse.
The guitar solo starts out with a more modern approach, but devolves from there.
It's a little more sophisticated than Black Crowes or the Stones. I don't hear Skynyrd in the first song, though.
The live version is, naturally, stripped down. I do dug the guy playing a Firebird. For me, that's the coolest guitar Gubson ever made.

3. Pablo van de Poel likes Firebirds. Your mentioning that reminds me of a Guitarist magazine article about his gear that

I read recently:

Pablo's go-to rig
“The guitar is either a Firebird or a Les Paul. And then I have two Isle Of Tone fuzzes: one of them is more like a heavy overdrive and the other one is really like a fuzz. They’re both germanium [transistor] based and I have either one of those on all the time. I have an A/B switch that either runs through to overdrive or fuzz, and I do all of my cleaning up with the volume on my guitar. So I’m constantly switching and dialling the pots.

“Then there’s a bunch of pedals that I sometimes use. I have the Carl Martin HeadRoom spring reverb – that’s also always on – and then I run that into my Fulltone Tube Tape Echo, which has a tube preamp onboard that is also always on. Then I run that into an 18-watt [Marshall] Bluesbreaker amp and a 90s JTM45 combo.

“I also have the heaviest boost pedal in existence: it’s a Marshall half-stack that I switch on and off when the sound needs to be bigger for solos or extra heavy parts – or sometimes very quiet parts because I feel like if you’re playing quietly on a big-sounding rig, that sounds very dangerous!”

And you'll probably like this video about his gear, which was done just days ago during their tour with Silveroller. See the YouTube description for links to parts of the video on particular topics. They were at the Louisiana in.Bristol, so this interview was done on the 19th:

4. Good Article

The one picture shows him with a Les Paul fitted with a Bigsby.
What a waste of sustain. I do not like Bigsbys.

5. I liked it, though I couldn't follow all of it. I'll be curious to hear what you think of the video.

I need to give more attention to DeWolff's music.

6. It's Cool He Has That Vintage Stuff...

...or reissues of vintage stuff. But, he doesn't get tones that do it for me. Just personal preference.
His distorted sounds aren't fully saturated, yet they're a bit harsh to my ear.
He does seem like a pretty cool dude.
