Finger style is da bomb. It opens up so many new options. How much flesh to dig in with vs. how much nail, what angles to use, truly simultaneous notes, and a range of dynamics that no pick can touch. You can go from a violently percussive snap to no discernible attack at all. The first ten years of my guitar life were spent almost exclusively on finger style. The plectrum still feels like a newcomer to me.View attachment 49973
Haha! Yeah, there’s actually quite a bit of fingerstyle in there. Normally I just bludgeon a guitar with a pick, but I’ve been working on more fingerstyle stuff to broaden dynamics and create new textures. Good ear!
I fell right into your trap, then I smiled. Thanks a lot. Yeah, the Ice Castle Verb is cool. Just tweak the low and high cuts to taste and it’s pretty magical. I still like the London Plate a lot too.
Thank you very much. It’s a great amp, and I think it’s just incredible that we’re able to “bottle up” tones from vintage masterpieces.
Probably a bit of both. The speaker is a 52 year old Oxford and the DR reissue has a new Jensen C12-K (according to Sweetwater) so I’m sure there are differences in the nature of those two speakers anyway. Then take into account the treatment of the vintage speaker over time with exposure to the elements and humidity (the aging) and it broadens the tonal gap that much more. Believe me, I’ve heard vintage speakers that sound like absolute garbage, and new speakers that are fantastic, so older doesn’t always mean better. Fortunately, I think the vintage speaker in this Deluxe sounds great!The factory DR IRs are from a reissue. I wonder if it's that the speakers just sounded different back in '66 or if it's the aging.
Thank you for the compliment! I really appreciate it.Great tone and playing! I could listen all day to that.
Oh they’re comin’ baby! Don’t you worry!Can’t wait to get my lil fingers around these new IRs....
Thanks a lot, man. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.Sounds bloody great!!!
People have mentioned that some of the most improved amp types from the Ares modeling are the Fenders. So I borrowed my Dad's mint condition 1966 all original Deluxe Reverb and shot some IR's to see how close the Axe could get, and I was blown away. The touch response is next level and really brings out the dynamics of the player. For the grittier stuff in the song, I used @camilovelandiamusic 's Klon settings and really loved how it feels with my Fender American Professional Series Strat with a maple fretboard.
I hope you enjoy it.
I’m so glad that you liked the track! I designed the new cab pack to cater to people who just want a few files all the way to guys that like diving in deep and everything in between. Everything I used in this clip can be found in the “Quick Play” folder, so it’ll be easy to get people playing faster and tweaking less (unless they like tweaking, then there’s plenty to explore).This Track has on problem .....it´s to short......
First class playing, feeling and sounding......I can´t get your fingers - but maybe these IR´s? Will you do cabpack for players - not to much IR´s, only a few sweetspots?
Awesome! Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me.Now THAT'S how to sell an IR. Enjoyed the solid meter, dynamics, melody and production.
