The atmosphere is great R, .any one that reads HP Lovecraft and knows of his tragic life would appreciate the strange atmosphere , moods and vibe of this man. Some singing also so i can complain hahha. I am listening to this a lot they are great man, to me each one is getting better too. Good work Renaud.

thx Ash, always a pleasure to read your comments I'm pretty sure I can do better tracks with more time , and one of these days I'll go for a real album, I consider these demo tracks as a recurrent workout, just like you'd go to the gym

Fire it Up Renaud!

Quote from Monkey_Man

Nice one, Renaud.

Sounds like you had a lot of fun with this one, mate.

thx guys , indeed that was fun & I was struck on two other tracks , not going in a right direction.

I started this one with a typical ZZ Top boogie drum pattern, just to chill out a bit and lay down some stoner riffs and two hours later, had this fine one , decided to yell some great lyrics to it, add a few Monotron growls and that was it

I still have to polish some rough ends and maybe add a bass, but The OED already had great basses .

you should read that thread

Here is a psych & stoner song featuring my spoken word on a H.P. Lovecraft Poem - Yule Horror

Elements of doom

I used a randall Amp EOD 88 to get that fuzzy stoner tone. I also used a monotron for the synth growls. All that stuff , including my voices , went to some serious processing with N21 fuzz pedal, spring verb, tape delay , EQ, fuzz ...

Hope you enjoy it , as I really like building these kind of moods.

I liked this one as it's very cinematic , and what a great huge mix

sounds great as your great mix is clear, and I appreciate all the cleans & crunch tones. The bass end ( or 7 Sring guitar ???) part is a bit too distorted and in front for me , but I guess that was your intention.

Speaking of Twang I went to High School with Jimmy Heath. I'm a year older. He dressed like a greaser even then

Ahah how lucky you were , great story man

This tells the story better than I could. Along with the Tri stereo chorus sound, the sweetest Rodes sound ever

excellent stuff, thx for sharing this. Too bad Fender Rhodes are no longer built , what fantastic keyboards they are.

Quote from lento1234567

Would like to hear you get one like a Dyno

A Dyno , sorry I don't get it

Sadly I cannot reproduce this 'accident' , took a snapshot , a pic of the settings on my fuzz pedal , and leave the exp in the right position, but it's so sensitive to each parameter that the whole sauce is pretty unstable. I also used specific attack and pot settings on my guitar ....

Cherry on the cake I used a commercial profile....I tried with a public profile , did not pass the test .

That means bad news for sharing this

I'll experiment more but I think that rig is gone

PS : Bill Ruppert has two similar rhodes rigs on rig ex.

This album was in my parent's vinyl collection in the 70's , but never really payed attention to it as a kid ... until I was 20 and starting playing the guitar

Although the wear may have been aided by me a bit and some sand paper

you cheater You really got me ... as the kinks would say

excellent cover & feel. impressive how much love you've for that tele , it already worn out like one from the 60's :o

Quote from JoSeven

Do you apply the same practice for solo's?

No I don't , my lead profiles cut the mix enough and I almost always use a boost/EQ/band pass/dist real pedal in front of my KPA . I think my leads have a lack of basses but I don't care, their purpose is to shine & sing opposed to fat chuncky rhythms.

I also much prefer adding other phrases , harmonized or not and lots of ebow fills , or some of my pads ( free on rig ex) .

Quad track ? When I do some, I often hard pan 2 takes while the 2 others are panned around 9 o'clock. Works better with slight different tones : 2 takes on JCM800 & two takes on CCV for instance.

And of course it's much better with natural tracking ( actual playing ) than just copying a single take, I always play my parts twice , it's an habit I took a while ago, and I do it even on clean parts now.

Sometimes I have two takes with a delay on them and two takes without, makes a huge tone and great ambience , wall of sound.

what was that pick , looks like it's made from an old french coin ???

Quote from dmatthews

Awesome!

Quote from Krok

Excellent !!!

Thanks a lot , it's so easy to get a killer tone from this marshall profile.

no pb just upload, they will show up a bit later

I agree the feedback is not really good while uploading

Wow, this is the way to properly document a profiling session ,

excellent contribution to the community man !

Frankly, you got tons of options there , I'd suggest browsing the delay presets from the official rig delay pack, lock the one you prefer and then switch to your favorite lead profile keeping this lock engaged. The tape delays are fantastic for classic rock.

If you use the spring verb, there is lots of taming , so I'd suggest using the lead booster or a real pedal in front ( that's what I do)

Here is another example using the same trick , spring + hall on JCM800 & vox :

JCM800 & Vox AC15 - on fast paced rock track

I Highly recommend testing the spring setting above, as it definitely gives another color to your favorite profiles.
