Here's a clip of the very beginning rhythm part of Ice Cream Man, the part when the band kicks in. For those of you who heard my "Everybody Wants Some" clip, when i recorded it i had also recorded a portion of "Ice Cream Man" onto the same Cakewalk project file but i didn't mix it in with that first clip. I gave it another listen today and for some reason it sounds better to my ears than it did when i first recorded it. I never learned the song the right way so i didn't play it like Ed does on the album or try to copy the exact sound at all, just curious to see how the combo and marshall cab would sound playing along with a VH 1 song. I'm pretty blown away and never expected this amp to sound good with that album. As always, i took out Eds guitar and recorded mine in. It was recorded on the same day as the Everybody Wants Some clip so it's the identical setup. Let me know what you think of the combo with this song. Don't shoot me but it's another very short clip. :D

Really cool again. I'm really itching for a 5150 now.

Longer clips!

Always good to hear you. As short as the clip was I love the rawness of that tone you've got there. I would love to find an amp (or even a pedal) that would help to deliver the same basic tonal flavor to it without going deaf in the process. Any suggestions? Oh yeah, have you found some people to jam with yet? I know a while ago you were considering it.

Hey thanks Mike. Actually on this clip i didn't even have the volume that loud at all. That's what's great about this 5150 combo/Marshall 4x12 setup i have going, you get such a good sound but at any volume you want. I can turn this thing down to whisper volumes and it still sounds awesome in my opinion. I did a quick google search to see if i can find you any pedals or anything like that that relates to this style tone and found this. google info I've never used any of these before so i'm not really sure how good they are but i figured i would just post it anyway incase you might be interested. As far as a band goes, nothing yet. I might put something together in the future, i'll have to see what i want to do.
