Tone Demo....!

 I've been learning "All I Really Want" by Alanis Morisette- here is a tone demo of the current sound. I'm not going for the sound on the record because I don't have a wah at the moment- but there is a nice vibe coming out of a flanger in its place.

First in the signal chain is the guitar- a 2022 Squier Strat. Stock Standard. Fenders record keeping on serial numbers needs development with these strats, but I think its the Taiwan factory rather than mainland China. Not sure if there's a difference in quality... its beyond my care factor. The pickup selector is in the middle position.






Then the signal goes into a Korg Pitchblack Tuner, followed by an overdrive, a delay, and a flanger before going to a clean amp.


 

A Mod Tone Dyno Drive:



A Boss Waza Craft DM-2W delay



A Boss BF-2 flanger


Then a HiWatt T20 tube amp. Clean channel- all the tone tweaking is done in the pedals. High reverb. High clean channel gain.



Recorded with a Sure SM57. Centre of the speaker, approx. 3 inches from the grille.



Sprinkled with fairy dust in Ableton. A compressor, a saturator, and EQ:



Here is the demo sound:

Back after a break.... new song...!

Real life has got in the way of regular posts lately, but I've been able to work on a track in small snippets of time during that period, and here's a new song: "ElevenEleven".

A friend once pointed out that a digital clock often says 11:11... and now I can't unsee it...
