It makes sense that the eq section of the Beta would pair nicely with the strat...sounds good.

Corey Y · August 11, 2011, 05:43:23 PM

Sounds pretty good to me.

yesca · August 11, 2011, 05:57:42 PM

sounds fucking sweet man

MichaelZodiac · August 11, 2011, 05:59:47 PM

It sounds great. Have you dicked around with pedals and those 2 yet? I think you can get some doomy tones with it. Wino plays one with Shrinebuilder I believe. And his new band Premonition 13 as well.

VOLVO))) · August 11, 2011, 07:08:57 PM

yeah, pedals also sound great.

I recorded a track with the set up. Soon as I finish loading it onto youtube, I'll post it in here. It's really rough, so, don't kill me.

Fucken nice.

VOLVO))) · August 11, 2011, 07:46:41 PM

So, I've been listening to a shitload of True Widow this week, and apparently this boring piece of shit shows that. I just wanted to make a track to exhibit some tonez.

High dollar strat I wish was mine - AC booster - Beta lead, for guitar.

Westone Thunder 1A - tone Wicker muff - Beta lead, for bass.

Ezdrummer for the shitty drums.

Open C#.

I'm not religious, I just like the dichotomy of me having songs that have Jesus/God in the title.

good shit mane. i gotta get ezdrummer now.

Jake · August 16, 2011, 10:19:30 AM

Cool track.

True Widow is the tits.

Carry on.

Haha, thanks man. I may, I like writing that shit, but I doubt I could keep it interesting without vocals.

so . . . put some vocals on there!

Hemisaurus · August 24, 2011, 11:26:22 AM

I think some of my favourite bands don't have vocals, or have very sparse vocals.

Stronghold Crvsader, Tombstoner, both vocal free, that I heard, Sleep has fairly sparse vocals in Dopesmoker. I kind of like a lot of repetitive riffing, that can build to a crescendo, did anyone hear the split Aquilonian (ex-Bongzilla) did? That's just an awesome 30 minute riff.

Basically Sunn, I like it even if you don't sing

dopesmoker is one of those songs (albums, however you want to view it) that to me you don't even notice the vocals sometimes. it's so . . . trippy.

MichaelZodiac · August 24, 2011, 12:02:30 PM

That Aquilonian song is awesome and hardly ever vocals into it. Some instrumental bands can be boring though (kuch Pelican kuch).

Sleep, beyond point of discussion.

Discö Rice · August 24, 2011, 02:12:20 PM

Really great sound. Makes me even more excited about my project Jag.

RAGER · August 24, 2011, 02:34:19 PM

is there a free version of ezdrummer?

VOLVO))) · August 24, 2011, 03:56:17 PM

the sound on that track?

Nope, Rog. No freezdrummer.

EZDrummer/Superior Drummer are worth the $$, especially if you invest in good midi packs for beats (of which there are a lot for cheap).

I have a Beta Bass arriving next week. I may have to try it out with guitar as well sometime.

Great amp on guitar.

Hemisaurus · August 24, 2011, 05:30:29 PM

not so good on bass?

It's only 100 watts, and it doesn't have a fuckton of headroom, but it's still a killer head on bass...

Corey Y · August 24, 2011, 05:36:39 PM

I loved my Concert Bass, before it exploded. So I'll probably dig the Beta Bass for its intended use. I don't know if I'll ever gig with it though, I was just planning on using it for some recording. Also, I use low wattage amps in general and compensate with more speakers usually...and I have little use for headroom.

Corey Y · August 24, 2011, 05:38:53 PM

Also, the Mental Waste demo linked in my sig was recorded with Superior Drummer 2.0 (made by Toontrack, who makes EZDrummer, just a different interface I think) and Toontrack midi packs, with a little editing. It may or may not make a good endorsement for their products, depending on how much you like or hate the music
