The Watering Hole

tuesday morning jam! heh.

and the jam on said jam

I like that backing track, sounds familiar, can't put my finger on it, but very good.

Anyway, here's my go at it.

thanks - didn't try to do anything familiar necessarily... wouldn't surprise me if it was a subconscious cop of something though.

nice jam, liked the rhythm parts - whole thing was very pagey.

It needs someone to really scream some vocals over the rhythm parts.  

Again, I really do like the bass progressions and the drum part on this.

Fun Jam and nice takes

I think I have to spend time  to get a handle on this  - but this is what I got on first impression.

cool take.

track's bringing out the (non-crap) seventies vibe in you guys, good stuff.

Thanks - funny about the decades.

I would say that the  decades that influence me most are 70's and 90's.

the last decade is too recent to say.

and the 80's .... - it sort of dominates guitar music too much since as a style.

Pats on backs all round so far I think :-)

For some reason this thread makes my jaw hurt...  ;)

Why is that? Is is so boring that it makes you yawn a lot  ;D

Here's another go at it, same guitar track but I added some vocals this time  ;D

lol!! awesome!!

Only listened in iPhone on it's crappy speaker!
But even so I can still tell that vox is both  fucking awesome and hilarious.
;D

The voice is David Lee Roth.   I have a vocal only mp3 and I just copied sections from the mp3 into the track and lined it up the best I could...and remarkably it seems to be in the right key too  ;D

"TMJ" usually means "Temporomandibular joint disorder"

LSHRBFCOMN!  ;D

(where "RBF" = "Raisan Bran Flakes" - yeah, a bit painful!)  ;)

sorry, you've lost me completely  ;D

Loox like "laughing so hard raisin bran flakes came out my nose" to me.

Painful indeed!

Yep!  :D

hmmm, must be an Amercan thing, can't say I've ever heard of that one !

If you want to fuck around with the vocal track etc yourself I have exported the reaper project as individual tracks all processed with compression, reverb and delay or whatever etc so you can just imported each track into a new reaper project.

Fun backing and great takes by all. The DLR thing cracked me up (was listening at work and had to splain what I was chuckling at, lol)

Sheep, are you using the BB Preamp on your clip? Hope so because I love the tone, makes me want to have that now. The mids sound perfect.


Take / Download

great take schills!

iirc, there was BB on there... but it's also possible that it was RC alone or none at all. not sure. hard to tell on flexi takes sometimes.

Thanks! The guitar is a little loud/hot in the mix now that I hear it with fresh ears, will be dropping it down some when I get home.

Didn't know you have both of those pedals. So which are you liking more? Or better yet, which in your opinion gives a little squawk in the mids? Or does neither? I'm just tiring of the Fulldrive II - it's "supposed" to give you both, a flat mids boost or a classic/traditional TS type hump, but I don't hear it w/mine regardless of settings. Miss my Maxon 808 for that now, considering picking another up but the Xotic stuff is calling me, especially after hearing your clip.

Oh yeah, what speaker did you mic? thanks again.

I can't really say I like one more than the other, they're both pretty great and stack together well (BB -> RC).

RC is very clean, no eq unless you apply the knobs... BB has a definite mid bump (it's the thickener) and distortion/compression.

I could swear that the BB blends the dry signal with it's distortion, but don't know for certain - sounds like it though.

was in the same boat with the fulldrive - it's really great for a while but I got tired of it's sound on anything other than the neck pickup in a strat.

speakers were T75s in an avatar 2x12. experimenting with that is on my list, but haven't gotten around to it yet - I really want to try a 4x10 (vintage type speakers) and a 4x12 (greenback type speakers) for flexi/vintage/strat stuff but haven't come up with a place to put them, so I've been putting it off.

Ok, thanks for the comparison! Pretty sure it'll be the BB for me then. Just when I thought I had no GAS, it brews up, lol.

I would love some greenbacks myself!! Someday...

yep - great take schills

You and sheeps's talk got me curious on the BB

can hear a very similar cool vibe to the sound in sheep's take in the middle section of the jam.

I could swear that the BB blends the dry signal with it's distortion, but don't know for certain - sounds like it though.

Thought the same listening to it in the vid

Thanks man!

I've watched that Timmons video a hundred times. Tone to die for. Am I crazy or is there a Line6 Pod XT unit in his rack back there?

I've also watched this Greg Howe BB clip way too many times as well. His playing kills me. His recorded tone is hit or miss though, some tracks on his latest album are incred, some not so much, but I'm sure he's using the BB often on it.

I'm sold on the box. After a quick search in my area, turns out a little dive music store I never new about is an Xotic dealer...called them on a whim, guy told me they have three new boxed BB's in stock. I asked him to put my name on one since I might not have a chance to get his way til next week - the dude laughed and told me not to worry, he's had those three in stock for over a year, lol.

Greg Howe - very different demo - raw in the shop improv vibe
and pedal sounds great again.

Imagine that pedal will  suit your playing very well.  ;)

Sounds great in that transition between clean to gain tones.
without being bluesy break up sounding - definitely has a sound like it is blending the signals.

cool stuff.

I like both demos of the pedal (and there's tons of other great samples on YT). It should add some grease to my fairly tight/dry amp where my FD II has fallen short, because though it is transparent (or it can add some hair as I did in Sheeps Jam), it just doesn't help in the "mojo" dept, especially the mids, I think the BB will, and hell, it comes with a first hand user nod from ironsheep, pretty sure he's steered several of us to some good gear purchases along the way...

Can't wait to pick the pedal up...I don't even want to touch my gear now until I have it, lol. Gotta wait until next week but it should be one of those rare 'several new toys in one day' deals we all love. Picking up the BB Preamp and a Celestion G12M-25 Greenback (just one - I have a 4x12 Franken cab I use soley for close mic'ing single speakers).


I can't help but always glance down at the comments when watching YT clips, always at least one gold remark, like the top Timmons post, "I'd sell crack to five year olds for enough money to get that amp."  ;D

Sheep, this jam is the only other clip I have of a new guitar, wondering if I could upload it to my RevebNation page or even on other small boards, making sure it's known I didn't create the groovy BT, just the wanking on top?

feel free to do whatever you want with it - no need for attribution or anything. I spent like 15 minutes putting it together... heh.

Check. Thanks.

Holy crap Jon, that's gonna have me smiling for days :D
