I wanted to see how far I could push the UBK fatso for guitar tones and bass tones. Quite a lot of saturation here... maybe a touch too much, but I kinda like it :)

A song may come of it, but for now it's just an idea with a decent mix.

E - UBK Fatso FASModern Riff (OwnHammer IRs)

I wanted to grab a decent studio workhorse for bands wanting to record at very low tunings. The Ibanez RGIB6 28” scale baritone fit the bill as it’s a very good price point and comes with EMG pickups. I also wanted to try the Seymour Duncan Nazgul - Sentient set so I figured I’d do a comparison video so you could also see what they sound like.

In this video you will see side by side comparisons of both the EMG 81 and the Seymour Duncan Nazgul. I think you will find they are pretty different. Both were run into the same exact patch on the Fractal Audio Axe-FX2 and used the same custom IR I made exclusively with OwnHammer High Gain Essentials IRs. The tune is in Drop G. 

E - Ibanez RGIB6 Pickup Swap. EMG 81 vs Seymour Duncan Nazgul!

Final version of the Skervesen Chiroptera demo. This one compares both guitars and their differences as well as demonstrates the sound of the Skervesen acoustic mod.

"Personal Fave" old dual rec tube set from Eurotubes...

NewTubez (Mesa Dual Rec, Airis Effects ProtoDrive3, OwnHammer IRs)

First two cycles are Fractal Audio Friedman HBE, from then on the Precision Drive is kicked in. I was going for only what I need (tightness and some bite) and I think it did it without too much of a sonic signature... just accentuated the natural amp tone.

IR is OwnHammer Player Pack Mesa V70 "Fat"

Horizon Precision Drive Riffage (or maybe a house falling)

Darkglass B7K Ultra on bass guitar because I like distorty things (moody as hell)
