I need to re-record this, It needs a long slide :P

Harmonies coming... Do not know why I have not recorded this yet :S

Finish in progress too... Need to add Reverb and clear the fade-out.

@shredurguitar: No, It's the Original Backing Track that is censored.

the only one that is actually what i was looking for 

PRELIMINARY VERSION. Critical Acclaim. Cover from Avenged Sevenfold.

All guitar tracks recorded and mixed by me. There is no original Guitar Tracks, I used a backing-track (Original bass, drums and vocals only) for mixing.

Enjoy!

ToneClone | The Looking Glass Intro (v17.00)

You know I had to get some Dream Theater out when Ernie Ball sent me a JP15 to check out and Fractal released Firmware 18!

Overture 1928 Axe-Fx II Firmware 18 Factory Preset

"Dual Delay" into two "Junior Blues" amps, Stereo "1x15 Thunderbolt" Cab, and a touch of compressor ("Studio").

The RIGHT TIME RATIO is set to 61.2%  (1/1.618)

Guitar is a Kiesel Vader 6, played with my pinky on the volume knob.

Recorded direct into Logic with no post processing.

Golden Dual Delays

Here is a very basic dual delay: 1/8, plus dotted 8th. I added a little cross-feedback, but I've got R TIME OFFSET at 99.2% so they don't stack too precisely. That's probably about as good as you could get in the days before TEMPO sync'd effects. Don't be too perfect!

Because we're talking about vintage digital, I've set BIT REDUCTION to 11. I know, I know... who ever heard of a 13-bit effect? But with the Axe-Fx, YOU decide what you like. I let the last tail ring so you can hear the grit. Remember how we used to "hate" that sound? Now we tweak it back in in nostalgic appreciation! The EQ of the delay is set to taste with some high cut, low cut, and a little bump  at 2.6k.

I'm playing a Les Paul Jr. (P90s) into two "Hipower" amps. You can't see it in the picture, but the preset also contains a DRIVE block (FET) and a COMPRESSOR block (PEDAL).

I programmed a cheezy lofi drum machine because I felt it was important to show how pushing/dragging into the long delay tail creates a human feel even though the drum machine and echoes are quantized.

Old Digi Delays

Here's a pre-release version of "Chalk Teeth", the first track on our upcoming EP "Ode to the Author". Thank you for all your support!
