tests and demos

Tone test od Scuffham amps s-gear guitar amp vst.  Going for the sound of Traffic's Dear Mr Fantasy guitar with a little more edge.  "A" setting is the rhythm throughout, single coil neck pickup at 3/4 vol.  Crunchy low end with slight drive but clear articulation on the top, mids severely scooped.  First verse just rhythm guitar.  First chorus, the "A" setting on a neck humbucker with guitar volume at 10.  A little raucous combined with the rhythm guitar, but might be useful on its own.  Second Verse is "B" setting, which overdrives heavily and punches the mids up in the same place the A pulls them down, so this is a better complementary leadd tone but nothing like the song.  Various pickups.  You can hear the "B" kick in after four measures of the second verse.  Quite obvious.  Different guitar settings give a pretty good tonal range for the rest of the B setting verse.

Dr Mr Scuffham

Just a guitar track for an idea I had today.  Variation of a song I wrote when I was in the Mess in the early eighties that we used when the other guitarist, Palmer, broke a string.  The original, which I'll put up some time, was in E so that he could tune up in the middle of the song since we had no tuners and it was usually the E string that broke.  We had another song for when I broke a string.  I'm playing through an iphone on two apps called Bias Fx and Bias Amp, which allow me to create my own amp.  The version here is a variation on my old Ampeg vt40 that I no longer have.

Goin for that post-trip 13th-floor-elevators-turned-up-loud-but-played-all-quiet-and-soaked-in-spring-reverb sound, gotten from linux with open source wonder-amp Guitarix's Ampeg tonestack.

Slightly better version of a reworked Mess song from the 1980s.  will post a better version eventually, but this gives the tone workout for the Scuffham Amplification S-Gear patches discussed here: http://www.scuffhamamps.com/forum/9-presets/7857-non-vox-jangle

Made with an earlier version of the ribs vst, a very interesting concoctions, and to go with the ribs, my own sample loops made from kitchen sounds.

Dangerous Kitchen loop set.  All sounds recorded while cooking. Working on a complete sample set.  This combines four or five of them and mangles them a bit.  114.772 bpm.  More info on way.net/waymusic

Demonstration of my new patch for slide guitar using the Scuffham Ampolification S-Gear VST amp.  This is the cleanish one, but it still has plenty of bite.
