title fits the music David, I like both music & mix :)

As usual, a great technicality which predicts a good year in 2014, musically ....

@kenb670: Thank you Ken : ) Have a happy new year!

A melancholic drift of a track. Wondrous.

Excellent how you put the rough Strat and the calming pad sounds in combination.

Very cool amigo,reminds me of the soundtrack Clapton done for a bbc series called 'Edge of Darkness'-nice work David! Take care amigo! peace'n'zen

Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent) - ambient guitar cover

just bought myself the Hardwire Supernatural Ambient Verb pedal last week, came in a few days ago.  Been in a bit of a creative rut lately, hence all the re-posting i've been doing, so i decided to wipe the dust off my old Galveston stratocaster and mess around with this thing.  this is the plate reverb effect.   i will also be posting a sample of the Shimmer reverb effect soon, which is pretty incredible as well.  all in all, if reverb is your thing, as it is mine, this is a damn good pedal for $179.

Strat Session 1,  Personae Con Stratae

This is the Shimmer effect on the Supernatural pedal, its essentially an octave-up effect that creates a wonderful sounding background for your track.  this was the effect that really sold me on this pedal, even though you can find it on other ones, though they were way more expensive. im thinking i may re-name this later and just keep it as an original track.

Strat Session 2, The Gathering of the Angels

This was an effort to showcase the Spring reverb setting on the Hardwire Supernatural reverb stompbox.  It was made to mimic the classic spring tank reverb you would get back in the surfer rock days when it was built into the amplifiers.  Enjoy :)

Strat Session 3, The Long Road Home

This was an effort for me to showcase the "Pherb" setting of the Hardwire Supernatural reverb stompbox.  It is essentially a hall reverb with a very subtle phaser running in the background to varying degrees depending on how you set the mix and liveliness knobs.  For this I didn't delve to hard into the phaser, but it is very distortion and overdrive friendly as far as I can tell.  Gives off sort of a David Gilmour vibe.  Enjoy :)

Strat Session 4, Reminisce

Every James Hetfield "Yea" from the 'Kill 'Em All' album through 'Beyond Magnetic'... in one epic sound byte! -Kevin Conklin http://conklinradio.com

Every James Hetfield "Yea"... ever.

For this session, I emphasized the "Shine" setting of the Hardwire Supernatural.  It is a very gentle reverb that produces both a shimmering effect and a chorus effect simultaneously yet separately.  The chorus effect only affects the tone of the guitar notes, while the shimmer effect creates a beautiful background to accentuate whatever notes you are playing with an octave-up effect.  I must admit though on this one I cheated a bit and created a separate undertoned background as well using a 5th note octave-up effect and a deep spring tank reverb as well.  But I'm not exactly doing this for Hardwire, and I think when you guys hear the result you'll forgive me anyway :)  I have used this on other non-strat tracks as well, such as Sanguine Rose and Erased, so for more examples you can check those tracks out too. Enjoy!
