CLIPS

Here are links to extra sound clips.

 

I like to record things. I record almost every gig I play and every now and then I'll record myself playing through an effect just to hear how it sounds. If I find something I like, I edit it and post it here. There are some pretty cool sounds (and some sloppy playing..) throughout these clips. If you hear anything you like and want to know more about, let me know.

Clip  File name  Description
Super2  Super2.mp3 Some sloppy but fun E minor pent noodling (my specialty!) during the song Superstition. You can hear Aquavibe, Octron, and Zim. Recorded live on April 26, 2008.
 Sleepy  Sleepy.mp3 Guitars into Aquavibe, direct into PC sound card. If this tune doesn't put you to sleep, nothing will!
 E minor 6 vibe  Em6vibe.mp3  I hold down an Em6 chord and strum. Between each strum, I changed the settings on an Aquavibe.
 April  April.mp3  Aimless strat noodling recorded while experimenting with vibe prototype. ZIM with VT card into Fender Twin. LONG clip.
Henry's vibe sound  HenryVibe.mp3 A pleasant vibe noodling clip made for Henry C. Recorded using a Sony Minidisc with stereo mic.
Dancing in the streets  dancn.mp3 Live solo during Dancing in the streets - Lefty Carvin Bolt Strat with Texas Specials. Bridge/Middle pickups selected. Foxrox ZIM With H9 card in Ch B, Vibe prototype between guitar and ZIM.
Chain Solo  Chain solo.MP3 Live riffing/solo with new Vibe prototype during Chain of Fools. Strat into ZIM channel A with VT card.
BM Anthem  BManthem.mp3 Multi-track layers of BM. Cute little production with stereo guitars. Listen to the tone and sustain of the BM card in ZIM.
BM clip 1  BMclip1.MP3 First clip of the BM (Brown Muff) card for ZIM. Done while tweaking circuit so that I could come back and hear it later. Done at bedroom volume with stereo mic into mp3 recorder.
Groove 2night  Grv2night.MP3  ZIM (H9 card) into TZF.
Smooth Op  Smoothop.mp3 Live clip. Some almost-aimless noodling at the end of the song Smooth Operator. Nice strat sound, through an Octron with clean+low octave mixed in, going into ZIM with CS card installed.
What I say  whatsay.MP3 Live clip - last solo in What I say. By the end of the solo every effect on my pedal board was on!
Started 2  STARTVCT.mp3 Live jam chopped up.. nice flange sweeps
Fuzzcount  FUZZCOUNT.MP3 This one was recorded back around 1986 when I was making FuzzFaces at Crest Audio, DMI Inc. I recorded this to document some of the cool sounds I was getting out of my prototype, which include some custom mods and extra features.
 Hotstuff  HostuffDiscoinf.mp3 Two live disco solos spliced together. First one has a nice TZF flange and the second one has some mild Octron dialed in.
 Started  startNORM4.mp3 A frantic solo during a live disco jam. Hey - we have fun. Octron into ZIM into TZF.
 TZF Clean  TZFCLEAN.mp3  Some pretty swirly sounds. Clean guitar into TZF.
Afterwards  Afterwards.mp3 Impromptu noodling with keybaord player and drummer before a gig. Poor quality recording, but listen to the effect on the guitar. TZF can get a bit of that Leslie vibe. LONG clip (4+ minutes)

Leslie TZF A

Leslie TZF B

les1.mp3 and Les3.mp3 Two examples of how a Paradox TZF can be set up to get a bit of a Leslie vibe. It sounds closer than some of the Leslie simulators currently on the market.
Let's get it on solo (live)  get7.mp3 Recorded live 12/03. Improv guitar solo, strat>CC2 vibe>ZIM H9 overdrive, volume knob on gtr used to control drive. Vibe very subtle in second half of clip. Listen to how Russ, the singer orders me to solo... "Fox.." I'm used to it.
Turtles solo (live)  turt4.mp3 Recorded live 12/03. Improv gtr solo, strat>CC2 Hybrid fuzz, Maxon AD900 delay. Fuck all solo for "Happy together".
Tar+ clip Tplus_1.mp3 I jammed through a ZIM with a new Tar+ card loaded in Ch B. Bridge Humbucker throughout. Played with different voicings, thenspliced it all together on the computer. Lots of classic distortion sounds!
Hot Silicon groove Hotsigroove.mpg Quick blues riff with Hot Si fuzz lead from start to end. Ambience effect added at mixdown. GRIT on fuzz set for slight sputter.
Right hand flange Right hand flange.mpg Video file - Watch my right hand and some spools of wire while a ZIM and TZF unleash some some crazy envelope flange mayhem.
I left my keys in the barn Barn.mp3 Original composition. Multitrack layered ZIM and CC2 guitars. Trombone.
Ferg Ferg.mp3 Solo over drum machine progression. CC2  Octave, Fuzz and Vibe featured. Nice Strat sounds.
