Couple of soundclips, critique welcomed
Hey all,
Just thought I'd post up a couple of short clips, basically recorded for reference as I try to improve my vibrato
For this one I used my Vintage 'Lemon Drop' guitar into a Jet City 20w head running into a Mesa Lonestar 2x12 cab. Pedal wise is a variable reverb - Snouse Bluesbreaker - Dumble Drive (basically ran as treble booster).

This one's just having some fun with a new pedal I got yesterday, it's pretty obvious when I kick it in. Same setup as above with the addition of this gnarly little bugger

Occurred to me at Gearfest that you're a proper tidy guitar player. Like the restraint in those examples.
Tidy those cables and turn that cab the right way and I'll give you a recording contract.

Cheers JH, just my cell phone for those clips. I have a decent recording setup (Line 6 DAW, Cubase 7 etc) and I'm working on some stuff that hopefully one day I'll feel comfortable enough to put out thereJHorner wrote:vibratos alright.
not sure what you're recording with but generally, if something is flashing red, turn it down.

Great playing!
I've had that Octave fuzz before. You probably already know this, but I find the best way to use the octave on that fuzz is to try and get the octave sounding as ' clean' sounding as you can, with as little fuzz as possible - then run another fuzz after it - using the second fuzz pedal to provide the fuzz element of the equation. You'll also a get great sound using your neck pickup, maybe turning the volume down a bit. The octave sound, sounds better on the higher frets.

Re: Couple of soundclips, critique welcomed
Something I stumbled upon, was how dialling back the tone knob on the guitar takes a lot of the normal guitar out of the sound but leaves the octave element to sound out clearer.AiRdAd wrote:Great playing!

Using a Wah pedal rocked all the way back has a similar effect, with the added bonus of being able to rock the pedal to bring more or less normal guitar tone back in. Raucous fun!

I din't know that, thanks for the tips. Hmmmm... so looks like I might need to hunt down another fuzzAiRdAd wrote:Great playing!

Cheers BG. Working on recording some good quality stuff, just more of a challenge when you have to source the drums from somewhere and play the bass, strings & horns yourselfBg wrote:ah tastefully played, love the quick vib, would love to hear something through a proper recording rig as its sounding awesome through a fone
