Our ol' Friend, the Lovepedal . . .

One of my favorite gee-tar effects is the modern classic, the Fab 50 from Lovepedal. An upgraded version of this fine device is the COT 50, available at the Lovepedal website.

The Lovepedal Fab 50 supplied the dynamic textures that adorn this swingin' piece, recorded with a Roland VG-88 and a Heritage H-535.

Unreasonable Delay

Life does imitate art.

Yes another one.

Some more of that Rhodes-like nonsense, coupled with some Synth-type nonsense.

It's like I've lost my mind and started playing a keyboard or something! Madness.

All GT-8.

And some good ol' fashioned Vibe . . .

Here ya go . . .

Try this for a heavy metal tone . . .

Yes I know its the same tune as '8'. Please forgive the intonation.

New Site, New Clips

There's a new In re Rock 'n' Roll website - Just what you've been waiting for.

Check it out at http://www.inrerocknroll.com

With it you'll find a new clip recorded direct with a Boss GT-8 and a G&L ASAT.

Lately I've been working on a high gain heavy metal type tone with the ol' GT-8. Although the GT-8 seems to be the modeler of choice for many high gain players, I have had more luck creating a variety of different classic low-medium gain tones with the machine.

I have found nothing that better compliments the jangly tone of a Rickenbacker, for instance, see e.g., http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/OldSkool.mp3 and http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/JangleRic.mp3.

Another favorite that I haven't been able to imitate with another set up is a quasi-rhodes tone. http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/ModalSt.mp3 - This one has a bit better playing, but I prefer the tone of http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/CoolJoe.mp3

Playing around with the model suggestive of the qualities of a Marshall Plexi, you can obtain some excellent classic rock tones - sounds great coupled with some modulated delay - http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/GT85.mp3, http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/GT8Rok.mp3

Also, don't forget the newest one at http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/8.mp3

Much fun to be had by all. I'll keep you posted on my quest for a good heavy tone.
