Oh yea, wah is an original Budda wah.

hi paul! i appreciate your 'humor'.... bad timing, off key vox, ugh... i worked so hard at not doing that! LOL

Thanks joad! Yea, I dig wah. Try not to over use it, But its hard!

Thanks bdickens, for listening, and commenting Yep, big Allman bros fan here

thanks man! here's the rig: guitar into strymon into boss dd-200 into interface. just could not have asked for an easier setup. did the whole album this way. thanks for listening!

TTT

i'm glad you like it jack! thanks

heheh, ez.... yep... nope. well, certain things ARE easy, the ideas are easy.... harder to get it all dialed into a complete arrangement. am i making a living at music? oh, H3LL NO!! heheh, i did, for a long time, 6 years.... but now, i just do this for myself, and try to share. thanks so much for listening

ha! your brother's experience was very close to mine, but it was my wife (and the guide) that got sucked out of the raft on a Class V, i got the guide back in, but wifey went down in a hydraulic, just like your brother, and came out about 30 yards downstream... we had a frantic chase, backwards, downstream, and got her just fine. she did not lose her paddle!!! quite the experience, it was quite scary. thanks for listening to my tracks. i'm glad somebody is getting a chance to hear them, maybe for the 1st time.

https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/insignificant this song story is inspired from a whitewater rafting trip down the Gauley River, and "Insignificant" is the name of a Class V rapid that i became way too familiar with. it's a hopeful story tho, with an inspired beginning, some drama in the middle, and an upbeat ending.

A SUNDAY BUMP

Thanks a lot paul!

hey tom! so glad you dig this one, and i want to say, i very much appreciate your support! you know, i've been recording bands and guitar amplifiers for several decades now...and i have a basement studio where i can crank up as loud as i want to record... but when i decided to go with the Strymon Iridium (or just 'modeling' in general) i wanted to see if i could do everything i wanted with the most simple of setups: and that's it!! heheh, i DO use my pedalboard, but really, this is the tone generator set right here. so to answer your question, yes, 'straight to tape'. i go into the Iridium, out and into my interface. boom. simple. no preamps, no reamps, no DI's, nothing but one cable in, one cable out. now there is always trickery during mixdown! LOL, sometimes i print my fx, sometimes they are added on mixdown. but generally, if i find a delay i like, i'll print it.... the only other modulation effects i ever use, are on my pedalboard (vibe pedal). i'm quite happy with the end results, as far as amp models, IR's, etc... i use all 3 of the amp models, deluxe, ac30 and superlead, but that is all about looking for gain structure... for example, maybe i'll use the fender deluxe clean, thru a closed back 2x12, BUT i'll use my high gain REVV G3 pedal to drive it, so it sounds like a modern high gain amp, even tho it's a vintage fender deluxe... stuff like that, is what i experiment with. i bought an IR of a AMPEG 4x10 to use with my bass, but i also use it for guitar parts, and it sounds great! on this particular song, i used the marshall superlead thru a friedman 4x12 cab with v30's, for all the solos, pushed with a Barber Direct Drive Super Sport. the rhythms were the marshall, but set for clean breakup, thru a Mesa 2x12 OS cabinet. it makes a big difference when you change the IR's out... i use them almost like EQ's.

1 BUMP and lets rock

thanks jack

i really like my Shure KSM44, seems to work on any source well. i also am still a fan of the original ADK Hamburg, you could get 3 of these for your budget!

some say bumps are unnecessary... but it seems there are a few exceptions. hoping someone gets to hear this for the first time

some of the best photos taken of the rock music world. rip.

HOWDY ANDY! and thanks for commenting... you know, i dig 9/8 too.... i must write a cool hook using 9/8 brain cells activated.... 9/8, 9/8, oh look a squirrel! 😁

worth a monday bump
