Ayatollah Hermione 12774 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Drum solos are so tragic. Never a truer word spoken. The only good one ever is in The End and that's because Ringo was brilliant and made everything sound natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4231 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Recorded drum solos are, live, and with the right drummer, they really add to a show I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloopJohn 0 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 never really heard a good big muff tone live...it just washes everything out...although it's fucking great for solos on record...well, we all know how good siamese dream sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13883 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 I only ever used one for solos, acted as a boost pedal too with the volume just that little bit up it was perfect, I'm a Fuzz Factory bloke now though, much more fun and you can get pretty much any fuzz sound going on it, though regularly I just turn it up and riff. RIFF. I could fancy one of those germanium big muffs mind! They sound awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13883 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Works well with Marshalls, tempting - because at the moment not much else does apart fromn turning it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloopJohn 0 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I used one with my bass (until my guitarists pedal board was stolen as he was borrowing it)...filthy as fuck through an Ampeg SVT and Eden 410 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonamental 0 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) If you want to see the master of tapping in that style check out Stanley Jordan. Thanks for the rec, watching him do Stairway at Montreux, slightly ridiculous! Also, saw the behind the scenes videos for Joe's new album (out May 21st), some of the stuff played sounds absolutely bonza. Looking forward to that just a touch.

Andrew 4231 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 So I mentioned that I graduated this week and that I picked up a job, well yesterday was the day that kept on giving I took a trip to Dawsons and placed a couple of orders http://www.dawsons.co.uk/gibson-les-paul-standard-2012-left-handed-fireball http://www.dawsons.co.uk/blackstar-ht-5-mini-stack Of course being me there had to be a catch so...there are no lefty fireball LPs available in Europe as it stands so god knows how long it'll take but what can you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13883 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Nice! It's always important to try a Les Paul first for me but I understand your predicament as a lefty! The Blackstar will be awesome but it might get loud Congratulations on the job btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4231 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Ta, they did have a lefty in cherry burst which I'm going to go in and have a good session with this week, I'm used to buying without getting that chance though, or at least putting a deposit on without. The reason I went for the Blackstar is that it will overdrive at pretty low volume, particularly with the blow switch on the LP but I'll be able to clean it up with the coil taps. I really like the electronic jiggery pokery in the standard this time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
