Members John Busbee Posted July 4, 2009 Members Share Posted July 4, 2009 Sounds like this is a largely metal turnout. I love high gain as much as the next fella, but my amps aren't what I'd call "high gain" in the context of most of these amps I'm seeing listed for this fest (the OD channel on the Junebug is high gain, but still not like a triple rec!).Do you guys want to check out my milder rides?Give me a vote!Thanks,Paul I'm not too into the high gain thing, but it is a great chance to hear what different amps and pedals can do; you'll have fun.

Members diavolo1 Posted July 4, 2009 Members Share Posted July 4, 2009 i think scott dh is going to make a couple of basic drum clips to wank over, so i don't think a drummer will be neccesary, the jam rooms kinda small, and there will be alot of us, with amps....

Members RiffDaemon Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 My JVM is still in the shop. I highly doubt they'll magically get it ready by next weekend; so, don't count on it being there. As for having mostly hi-gainers and thinking twice on bringing "non-Br00tz" amps to the mix, DON'T THINK TWICE! Just bring 'em And besides, just because they're hi-gain doesn't mean they're meant to be played brutally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members draelyc Posted July 7, 2009 Members Share Posted July 7, 2009 Werd. Neither of my amps are teh br00tz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles range from straight rock at about 110 bpm up into the metal territory with double kicks galore at around 200 bpm. Will probably work up one more, so if anyone has a preference, let me know.

Members John Busbee Posted July 7, 2009 Members Share Posted July 7, 2009 as far as drumming goes, I'm primarily a metal/hard rock drummer (for 20 + years) with tons of gear (drums/amps/mics/etc.) for what that's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Busbee Posted July 7, 2009 Members Share Posted July 7, 2009 So THAT explains your sig yeah, I've been fairly heavy into guitar for a while now. I love playing guitar. Drums...meh. I rarely pickup sticks, but I can still play pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Busbee Posted July 7, 2009 Members Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'm planning on bring my pedal board (I've got a couple pedals people may dig, nothing boutique, but all useful) and my Carvin CT6 for those that want to try one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think anyone that plays it will like it; it is the best made guitar I've ever had and sounds and plays great. Perfect scale length for my hands and I can almost use my thumb to fret with.

Members diavolo1 Posted July 7, 2009 Members Share Posted July 7, 2009 right on. i'm really stoked to meet alot of cats from the forum although i already know a few, and it really looks like a nice collection of amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members scottdh Posted July 8, 2009 Members Share Posted July 8, 2009 Okay...I'm 24 hours early...here are my 4 super-generic drum tracks. I'll bring the bpm's with me so Jay can sync them with his pro tools rig if he wants to. Each of these fade at the end, so it should be fairly apparent when you need to wind up whatever riff you're cranking. http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=6f41333cd1e4e772d956df2962098fcbf3d86aa62826f5825be6ba49b5870170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mparsons Posted July 8, 2009 Members Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'm keeping my eye on this. I'm all around the Athens/Atlanta area, and I'd love to make this if I can. My rhythm guitarist also is looking for an amp (he posted here asking a month ago), and I think it'd be great for him to see, hear, and play some different amps if he can make it. I'll bring the JVM if no one who's committed to going is bringing one. Hey dude! I'm also Atlanta/Athens area, what band are you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boatshoes Posted July 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 8, 2009 drums sound good scott. I am going to record some stuff over them hopefully tonight and prepare some riffs for the amp fest. you guys can finally see how much of a hack i am haha.

Members boatshoes Posted July 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 8, 2009 scott, if nolatone is going to come with his amp can you provide a track better suited for possibly blues...something for some good old clean tones. if you don't have time don't worry about it.

Members RiffDaemon Posted July 8, 2009 Members Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hey dude! I'm also Atlanta/Athens area, what band are you in? Velvet Runway. We're just an itty bitty 80's cover band (though we're playing a LOT more 70's rock nowadays) that plays the local bars in Athens. August will be our 3rd year running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mparsons Posted July 8, 2009 Members Share Posted July 8, 2009 That's pretty cool. I've thought of doing something similar but I never got it together. When I turn 21 I'll come out and see you guys sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I turn 21 I'll come out and see you guys sometime Hey, you might not have to be 21 We're playing a Georgia Theater benefit show at Tasty World sometime in late August, and I think that place is 18+.Usually though, the bars we play are 21+, but J.R.'s Baitshack lets us put 18+ people on a list - I can put you on it if you're ever interested.Also, we headlined a show at the 40 Watt where 3 Metal bands were on the bill (well .. I take that back .. two were metalcore, I think), and I swear some of the kids in those bands were fresh into highschool. So, you never know when our paths may cross on stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
