AMZ IC Muff distortion pedal guitar effect Demo, I built it

April 72010

http://www.fillmorepedal.com This is a — S T E R E O — demo of the AMZ IC Muff distortion pedal that I built, designed by Jack Orman. I am playing the 1967 Gibson SG Custom guitar through a 1994 Crate Vintage Club 20 amplifier.

I built the IC Muff back in 1995 but yesterday I took it apart and heavily modified it, and put it in a new case. Mods include changing the op amp to a Fairchild LF353 and increasing the gain, and adding true bypass wiring with a footswitch. The LF353 gives it a much nicer sound though it breaks up more at high levels — which is A Good Thing in my opinion.

Keep an eye on the guitar knobs as I go through the demo I crank it up a couple times as the demo goes on.

Notice the 35 SECONDS SUSTAIN I can get one 1 note with this foot pedal. This pedal is not good for playing fast it is better for slow, lots of sustain, and to play with harmonics. Most of it I am playing with the rhythm pickup with the tone control all the way down. Then with the tone control on the guitar all the way up I switch to middle & treble pickup combination, and treble pickup only. It is easier to control the IC Muff using just the rhythm pickup with the tone control on the guitar turned down all the way. It can get those early Robert Fripp/King Crimson sounds or Queens of the Stone Age tone.

If you have a high speed internet connection click on this link instead. It will play the demo with better sound quality and picture quality:

Electro Pop Tutorial – Part 3: Making a Distorted Guitar-esque Synth

April 72010

http://www.boyinaband.com – head over to my website to see the text version of the tutorial, grab some samples and check out my other blogs and tutorials!

On this Reason 4 tutorial, I’ll be showing you how to make a Distorted Guitar-esque synth patch in Reason.

This is a pretty complex patch, probably the most intricate one in the series, but I’ll do my best to break things down as simply as possible. It’ll involve Two instances of Thor, splitting the audio with a spider audio splitter, some use of the Scream 4 distortion unit and 3 units from the MClass suite.

Sweet!

Rock Band 2 Custom Chart – Ex’s and Oh’s by Atreyu (X Guitar/Bass/Drums)

April 42010

-SUBSCRIBE-

I had to put an mp3 over the video’s audio because the original video’s audio sounded a bit distorted and messy. It kinda still sounds distorted in some parts of the song in the game as well but it should be fine.

The drums were fairly easy so I thought I’d chart the guitar and bass with it. Since the guitar was already charted in GH2, I pretty much copied it by eye. The bass might not be perfect since it’s hard to hear and I don’t have its stem or anything to hear it clearly. Even though it’s fairly easy compared to most charts, I’m sure many of you enjoy this song and will like playing the chart.

(Re-upload with original audio) Guitar Hero Metallica: Fade To Black (Guitar) – 501,491 100% FC

March 262010

GHM Friend Code: 3137-2573-7086
Vid initially requested by tombstone720

This is a re-upload of an old video previously ruined by WMG’s copyright naziism, a guitar FC on arguably one of Metallica’s all-time greatest songs, “Fade To Black”.

Pretty much every comment I’ve gotten on my previous upload is “ZOMG you up an amazing song! You suck!” But what they don’t understand is I had to distort the audio to keep the video up. But now I decided “fuck it”, and now I’m uploading it again with the original audio.

Metallifact: This song’s lyrics may talk about suicide, but what actually inspired this song was the band’s equipment being stolen in Boston. Also, during a 1992 show in Montreal, James Hetfield got burned by the pyrotechnics during this song.

I made a couple mistakes with the star power path in this run, but whatever. I’m just happy to have FCed it with 500k. The first activation requires PERFECT whammying, so it can be really tricky. But it can be done.

This is actually a re-FC. My first FC got me the win in a GH Community highscore tournament, and was 200 points less than this run. So I decided to re-FC it on video since someone requested it.

This song is officially licensed by Activistion and Neversoft for use and playback in the music/rhythm video game Guitar Hero Metallica. The video is only meant to showcase gameplay footage of the song in the game. “Fade To Black” can be found on Metallica’s “Ride The Lightning” album, released in 1984 by Elektra Records, a subsidiary of the dark lord Warnermort.

Trey Songz ft. Fabolous – Say Aah (ROCK REMIX)

March 262010

**Reupload – Sound was distorted in original**

My friend Jordan suggested that I do a rock remix of Say Aah. I love the melody in this song so i didn’t need much persuasion.

Out of all the remixes i’ve done, this one incorporates the most simple drumming. This is because of two reasons:
1) The original already has tom fills in it. I tried a couple of runs doing fills over the top, and it didn’t sound too great
2) Drum fills are entertaining to watch, but this song didn’t really call for them. To me it is important to still be able to enjoy the music while not watching the video.

Despite having the flu and it being hot in New Zealand, I had fun with this track.

Thanks to Jordan for suggesting this and check out his music on http://noinsurancemusic.tumblr.com/

PS – I played all the added instruments on this remix.
