An ambient guitar improvisation using a variety of effects and a volume pedal. Effects include several from TC Electronic (Flashback [delay], Afterglow [chorus)], Ditto X4 [looper]) as well as the EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath (reverb), Fulltone OCD (overdrive), and MXR Dyna Comp (compressor). Guitar: Telecaster Custom. Amp: Fender Super Champ X2. Mic: SM57. DAW: GarageBand. Thanks to John Towner, via Unsplash, for the photo.

Friday Ambient #1

A riff-heavy, old-school metal instrumental. I found the opening riff stored in looper I hadn't used in a long time and built the track around it. It reminded me of the music I listened to in high school. Hence, the name. The cover photo is a crop of a photo by Henry Hustava (@enzo74 on Unsplash)

High School

First recording with the EarthQuaker Devices Data Corrupter. The rhythm part uses the Data Corrupter as well as a chorus and tremolo. The lead lines are the Data Corrupter by itself. Lots of harmony tracks to harmonize a harmonizer, because why not?
