  • A Vetta II, a junky sound card, and the National Anthem

    In a couple of months I'm going to be playing the National Anthem at a local event. Hopefully, I'll also be playing it at a bigger one in June. For the one in June, I had to submit a demo and I haven't heard back yet.

    Anyway, all I had to record with was my computer so I put the Vetta into the crappy sound card and made my demo. I explained to the lady whom I gave my CD to that this doesn't begin to do justice to the Vetta II across a pair of 4x12 cabs, but at least it'll demonstrate how I play it.

    Anyway.....

    The Star Spanled Banner by Moi

    Enjoy!



    EDIT: In case you're curious, this was done in one take with no dubbing. I played it several times and picked my favorite. Please listen to the entire thing because it has a few surprises.

    That was super ! Is this a tone that you get through a 4/12 cab also?

      Thanks! I'm running across a pair of 4x12's, but the recording was done directly into the sound card. The speaker emulation I'm using is, believe it or not, a 1x8.

      Thanks for listening!

          Very Cool!

          I suppose I ought to give it a listen.

          Edit: Yup, cool sound.
          Isn't the break out moment supposed to be at "Rockets red glare"...instead of at "The flag is still there"?
          Kind of threw me off a bit.
          Congrats!

          I managed to get a disciplinary action against me at a military academy type place (Boy's State) doing the Jimi treatment to the Star Spamgled Banner. Prolly didn't help that I did Amazing Grace and America the Beautiful the same way!

            The part with "our flag was still there" sort of leads into the Crunching power chords for the transition. I gave the "rockets' red glare" the screaming unison bend treatment.

            The Hendrix version is cool but I would never play it in public.

            Amazing Grace and America the Beautiful Hendrixified? Wow!



            Oh, and thanks for listening!
