Members docjeffrey Posted March 15, 2013 Members Share Posted March 15, 2013 Video is back up and working.Here's my latest soon to be Grammy-nomiated (yeah, right) song featuring a pair of Rickenbacker 360's and, of course, a Vox amp, in this case an AC15 H1TV (or something like that)I hope you enjoy it. I had fun daisy chaining three--count 'em--THREE compressor pedals and an MXR graphic EQ in order to get some righteous jangle from my 12 stringer. I didn't go quite as extreme as I could have, but you'll hear the 360/12 pumping its little heart out in a couple of sections.Lead guitar was the 360/6 which you rarely hear as a lead instrument. Of course I added all kinds of effects and Pro Tools fairy dust which probably did more harm than good. The bass is a Chinese Hofner Beatle Bass that has positively atrocious intonation anywhere past the 5th fret. I think I'm gonna spring for a proper Hofner soon.Rock on!

Members BeanoBoy Posted March 15, 2013 Members Share Posted March 15, 2013 Sounds nice. Your piece has a St. Patricks vibe to it. May I recommend a JangleBox compressor? Takes my cheapo Danelectro 12 string to a higher place. You might enjoy what it does for your Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docjeffrey Posted March 15, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2013 I've had my eye on the Jangle Box for awhile, but I'm not sure I play my Rick 12 enough to justify the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ancient Mariner Posted March 16, 2013 Members Share Posted March 16, 2013 That's nice Jeff. I thought I could hear a little bit of Wishbone Ash woven into the melody - what they might have done if they'd used Rics instead of a Strat and a V. As for processing, it's very full and smooth sounding, with seemingly perfect tuning and not raw at all. That might be why it was taken as being over-processed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jtr654 Posted March 16, 2013 Members Share Posted March 16, 2013 Mcguinn also used a treble boost and you clip need a bit of highs or high mids to get that Byrd sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
