It's the first time I made so much effort for a clip, but I think it paid off.

Wired up a W/D rig with the following chain:

Guitar (PRS McCarty with BareKnuckles)
=> Xotic EP Booster (on 10 o'clock for some additional grit to open up the tone, as the amp was at quite low volume)
=> RMC3 Wah
=> Cornford Mk50H
=> Palmer The Junction
==> Speaker Out to Heritage 2x12 mic'ed with an SM57
==> Line Out to a Providence 80s Delay and in the FX return of a Marshall 2554 Combo, mic'ed with a Sennheiser E906

The two amps are mixed 24% left/right, no effects on the recording other than some adaptive limiter on the master signal in Logic.

It was played in one go, as I said volume was quite low, so don't expect any major feeback orgy - this Setup does it great though. Turned up a bit the sound is everywhere and harmonic feedback is SO EASY to get - sorry i felt more comfortable recording this at about TV level.

Yeah I know it's a cheesy song, but I grew up in the 80s, so that is where my passion is, can't change an old man ;)

Here's the vid:

You guys are so nice, and noone makes fun about my guitar faces?

:lol: :LOL:
 
Very cool.
Sounds, playing - just the GM faces are not as good as the original :D

That sounded great! Honestly, that is my favorite clip you have posted.
 
:D

Who's that second dude under Gary?

edit: Satriani - looks funny . . .
 
Great tone. Love the Cornfords. Very dynamic amp :thumbsup:

So my question is; which do you prefer, the Cornford or the 100b? :D
 
Kudos man! That sounded super sweet. Nice smooth playing, great tone, effortless vibe...

Cornfords are the bomb - I think they're one of the more underrated heads out there. Ever since I saw Dweezil lightin' them up a few years back, they've always been on my radar.

Peace,
V.

PS - guitar faces come with the territory...it's good for us, makes us know we're all part of the same clan when in public.
