OK Guys,
As requested, here are some sounds from the quickly-made, homegrown valve (tube) pedal. Seeing how I always call my 'brand' Dirty Angel, it seemed appropriate to give the pedal a demonic name. Hence it is called the Purgatory Pedal. The guitar used is my Dirty Angel 'Viking' (a Pitbull Guitars RC-1 build) and the recording was done straight from the pedal into a Presonus 1818VSL USB Audio interface. The recordings are completely dry except for the pedal. Now, on to the sounds...
First 30 seconds is a clean reference signal using the bridge pickup.
The next 30 seconds is the bridge pickup with the gain on 3.
The next 15 seconds is the neck pickup with the gain on 3.
The last 30 seconds is the neck pickup with the gain on 7.
Above 7 the whole thing just gets muddy.

If you want a copy of the schematic just send a message.

Purgatory Tube Pedal Samples

This is the first song in a self-set challenge to write and record three songs in three days. At the end of the day it was to be game-over regardless of where the song was. 
This was written after spending the previous night with friends in Yungaburra during a fantastic electrical storm and feeling positive about the future.

Thunder In The Mountains

This is the second song in a self-set challenge to write and record three songs in three days. At the end of the day it was to be game-over regardless of where the song was. 
I spent most of the morning writing and recording this but didn't like where it was heading so started again. I then combined the two parts together with a bridge. By 5:00pm time was up and there was no lead break. Oh well.

I'm Telling You

This is the third song in a self-set challenge to write and record three songs in three days. At the end of the day it was to be game-over regardless of where the song was. 
I had no idea what I was going to write about but had just sent an SMS to Chris saying 'I love you this morning', and she sent one back saying 'that'd be a good name for a song'.
Originally I was going to write a reggae but ended up with this.
So... challenge met.

I Love You This Morning

After making an electric kazoo, what better thing to do than record a mulit-tracked swing song with it!

Kazoos In The Mood

A short song written as homework for a songwriting circle. The requirement was to write a happy/abusive song.

Modal Mayhem

Just an old man who likes doing his own thing!
