please forgive me my errant, wandering droniness;
i was thinking about current popular meanings & usages of that very word, "drone", this morning:
what a palaver, really.

my first go with Basic Audio's Fuzz Mutant pedal.
improv.

ronin mirari guitar
basic audio fuzz mutant pedal
fryette deliverance 120 amp w/lexicon pcm42 & neunaber wet reverb in its loop.

recorded to iPhone.


always overhead_1 from 2_

..... some more of John Lyons' Basic Audio Mutant Fuzz pedal.

..... just something i had to do, as i've become enamored of these nearly "duduk"-esque articulations which the Mutant seems to bring forward from me.....
so, whatever.
enjoy, somehow, i hope.


took one two no one

ok, then.
another ruminating live improv, this one kinda short (for me).

ronin gtr > basic audio fuzz mutant pedal > fryette deliverance 120 amp > lexicon pcm42 & neunaber wet reverb in amp's loop > iPhone.

mixed in logic.

pics, but it didn't

Here's a little Pink Floydish stuff played on the new MenaWatt

MenaWatt Floydish

A quick comparison of guitar materials' impact on tone.
ekoa - Blackbird Savoy O size guitar
carbon fiber - 2015 Blackbird Lucky 13 OO size guitar
wood - 2005 taylor 814ce grand auditorium size guitar

All guitars recorded using a Rode NT4 stereo microphone into Logic Pro. All were mic'd at the same distance and position, using the same volume settings.

Guitar Material Tone Comparison

A man at the gallows has had the floor pulled out from underneath his feet.  As he falls to his death by hanging, time slows down and he has visions of a regretful life flashing before his eyes as the rope grows more and more tense.

Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe Demo/Clip Recorded live.

Scarab Deluxe---Ode To the Fuzz Beetle

Some heavy stomp, swampy blues with the Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe. Les Paul into Scarab Deluxe, then into Catalinbread Montavallian for a little ambience before being sent to the Goodsell Custom 33 and Orange 2 x 12 cabinet. 

Can you tell I LOVE this pedal. What killer tone. Both the looped rhythm riff and the lead over the top are Scarab Deluxe goodness.  YUM!   :)
