Yeah, Scott asked that I post a clip that's purely guitar > amp, no effects in between, and no post-production. The idea is to give listeners a taste of the pure tone. If I were recording this for the general populous, I would've added reverb, compression, etc., and I would've done more takes to get the riff right.
The riff is familiar to me -- check out "Born on the Bayou" by Creedence Clearwater Revival -- but I've never played the tune before. It's just what people had been asking to hear, so I did it. It's an awesome song (although a far cry from metal. )
I definitely noticed that. Haven't had much of a chance to check out the cranked tones, but for the bit that I did, the tremolo was far less prominent. That's pretty much what ya want anyway.
Re: First Celtic Caitlin Amp (Tweed Tremolux Clone) Clip
wow - just wow
very very lush
and dead stinkin quiet even with a split pup
i liked the way there was a little 'breath' between your attack and the trem blooming full .. so when you hit a little chord and choked it, it wouldnt have much effect on it .. but when you let the notes ring, the shimmer started and was nicely prominent ... very cool indeed
