Musical equipment demonstration. I have no connection with these companies, I just love these particular products. The only clip I could find of the discontinued Electro-Harmonix Freedom Amp when I was shopping for one was Yngwie Malmsteen busking on an Amsterdam street, and that disappeared from youtube shortly thereafter. Great little portable rechargeable amp…this demo may drive up the used price, possibly to my own detriment if it ever craps out and I have to find another one, but it’s just too good for there not to be a demo of it somewhere.

You can hear me play actual songs on my record–visit my youtube page for details.

Guitars:

1991 Fender USA Strat Plus
Fender-Lace Sensor pickups: neck/middle: gold
bridge: silver

2001 Gibson Les Paul Studio Plus
neck pickup: Gibson ‘57 Classic
bridge: ‘57 Classic Plus

Bass:

1977 Fender Precision with active Alembic pickup.

Guitar amps:

Electro-Harmonix Freedom Amp
15 watt 1×8 closed back combo

In production starting 2000; discontinued around ‘06. This is nothing like the larger black 1×10 open back Mike Matthews Freedom Amp of the ’70’s that ran on either A/C or FORTY D-cell batteries. This one has a rechargeable 12-volt battery inside, and does not run on A/C.

Vol is on 1, a good strong living room volume…say loud enough to jam with a stand-up bass and piano. This amp is just stupid loud for its size. At about 0.5 it’s conversation volume. Apparent volume about doubles from 1-7, gets as loud as most 30w solid state amps I’ve heard. Around 8 it starts distorting in that fizzy solid state way, but up to there it just goes from loud to louder. Tone on about 4, Bite (presence or high treble) about 4.

In the blues backing track on the left side is a clean rhythm guitar…it’s the same Strat (neck pickup) and Freedom Amp; but instead of Holy Grail reverb, I recorded dry and added reverb with Cool Edit Pro plugin.

Vox Cambridge 30
1990s 30 watt 1×10 open back solid state combo

On the blues backing track on the right side you hear a muddy warbly-sounding thing playing chords and bits of chords mostly in upper registers, which I intended to function like an organ part. It’s the Strat bridge pickup with the tone turned all the way down, running into a Morley Bad Horsie wah pedal, then into the Vox clean channel, with the treble turned all the way down on the amp, and all remaining high end rolled off at mixdown. I jiggled my foot on the wah pedal to phony up a rotating leslie speaker. The commenter on my ‘07 gear demo who thinks I wah on too many notes should really hate this one. I also used a big hall reverb plugin to push this part further into its strange place. So not at all a fair/straight demo of this very good amp. Incidentally it’s a great living room bass amp too believe it or not.

Effects:

Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb pedal, ’spring’ setting, on about 4.

Danelectro Fab Distortion pedal: for blues track, tone about 4, distortion about 3-4; for the hard rock bits I just turned the distortion up to 10.

Morley Bad Horsie wah pedal:
see “Vox Cambridge 30″ above for description.

Bass amps:

For the blues backing track I’m using an SWR Interstellar Overdrive as a stand alone 5 watt EL84 tube amp, into an Aguilar GS112 1×12 bass cabinet with the piezo tweeter turned all the way down. Simultaneously tracked the bass DI .

For the hard rock moments at the end, I ran the bass into a Line 6 Bass PODxt then straight to sound card—behind the Strat hard rock part I used the “Huge 360″ preset (models the ’70’s era Acoustic Control Corporation 360 with 1×18); with the Les Paul part I used the “Eden 112″ preset.

Drums:

The snare, cymbals, and toms are single hit samples from the Bun E. In A Box sample/loop collection. I don’t use loops, I manually copy and string together dozens of single-hit samples—e.g. a snare drum being hit once—to create my own beats/fills. The kick drum is a secret found sound I recorded at home which I will reveal to the world someday, can you guess what it is?

Recording chain:

Guitar: Shure SM57 dynamic mic to M-Audio DMP-3 dual channel mic preamp, to M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card to PC hard drive.

Bass: For the blues track I mic’d the Aguilar cabinet with a Studio Projects C1 large diaphragm condenser mic, about 10″ out from the speaker and closer to the edge of the speaker than the middle; tracked DI simultaneously and mixed the two later. For the hard rock bits at the end I recorded direct using Bass PODxt, see above.

Tracked/mixed with Cool Edit Pro 2.0.

Event ASP8 Studio Precision monitors.

非常に安いギターですが。かなりのお気に入りです。このYouTubeで、よく使っています。
このギターのピックアップ、サーキット内部、トグルスイッチ、要はギターの中身はすべて自分で改造しています。外見は何もいじっていません。ただエスカッションは換えています。ペグやブリッジ類は、オリジナルです。因みに弦はアー二ーの、SLINKY TOP HEAVY BOTTOM10~52(赤の袋)をいつもつけています。

Though it is a very cheap guitar. It is favorite considerably. It uses it well with this YouTube.
It picks up, it is the circuit internal, is toggle switch of this guitar, and all contents of the guitar are remodeled for myself in short. Any face is not fiddled with. However, [esukasshon] has been changed. The peg and bridges are original. By the way, the bowstring always applies SLINKY TOP HEAVY BOTTOM10~52 of [a-] 2(red bag).

Showing the versatility and tone of my new axe, Carvin CS6. I’m using the guitar’s volume control to go from clean to distortion. It has coil taps so you can get some strat-ish sound out of it too.

The setting on the Tubeking is Bass +3; Mid +5; High -2 (Tubeking has active eq); Gain 5; Level 6.5; and Noise gate off. Also, I replaced the stock tube with Tungsol 12ax7 but the stock tube sounded just fine.

The setting on the TBX is Bass 1; Mid 2; and High 0 and this too has an active eq. The gain nob is at 3 and level was around 6 on the clean channel without the over drive switch on.

I also used the zoom g2. 1u pedal but only to add slight delay.
