Boom (feat Shawn Hudgell)

Testing out to what extent I can emulate the sound of a 12 string guitar, using only Reaper, its built in plugins and the free Kjaerhus Classic plugins.

A brief test of The Creamery hot alnico 5 Telecaster neck pickup fitted to my 1978 Standard Telecaster.

Recorded using a Fender Bassman sim on a Line6 Pod XT Live, with just a touch of reverb.

Bass test

In the late 70's I played bass in a punk band called Politicide. Today I found the track online. It appeared on a compilation album put out by Crass, called Bullshit Detector 3. Not a particularly complimentary name but entirely accurate.

Blind Listening

Not anything of mine but by Belt of the Celts, a band I played while for a while. A great example of one song to the tune of another.

A quick test of my new Gretsch G6120-DSV-BLK

Gretsch Test

A track I did with Larry Smith for a SixStringBliss outro. Have realised that I never got round to posting it here. Time to put that right.

The Painful Truth

A quick test of the new Tanglewood guitar. The tune is called Drag Racer by The Doug Wood Band, but most will know it as the theme to BBC's snooker coverage.

This definitely comes under the heading a "budget recording"; a £29 guitar into a Pod into Reaper.
