OK, hard to put this into words...
Sometimes, when playing a chord and applying vibrato, there seems to be some type of 'sweet spot' where the tone just blooms, seeming slightly louder in the mix and, to me, reminds me of melting into a pool of sound that's greater than the sum of its parts.
This only started happening when I started playing a push-pull, so I guess my question is, would this be a characteristic of push-pulls in general, or am I just getting better at controlling my sound?

Re: Question about vibrato/tone
It could be the guitar, An Emmons Push/Pull.
It could be the guitar is a different height, Or to align your legs between the knee levers, You have changed your seating a little. Or change in position of Right hand and wrist, May have changed your attack angle on the strings.
Enjoy the new sound, Happy Steelin.

Re: Question about vibrato/tone
I'd say it's the push/pull. Try a different guitar(all pull)and that effect just won't happen. Push/Pulls forever. Thanks, Tommy.....
