Thrifty Croaker Harp Demo
Submitted by katopan on Thu, 05/12/2011 - 03:121:26 minutes (1.65 MB)
Haven't been playing long so excuse the stuffups! Thrifty Croaker with standard 5F1 Champ circuit but grid stopper resistors added. No tone control or treble cut. A tweed tone would allow the volume to be nudged up a bit more, but it's getting a nice distortion without that. VVR up full for recording, volume on 2 and Celestion Super 8 small combo cab.

Thrifty Wreck clean to mean demo with some simple chords, all guitar volume knob controlled. Clean at the start has some hair, I didn't get it quite right. But the later clean bits are better. The mixer VU meter bounces around the same value clean bits and mean bits. Ibanez RG1620X. Volume control at the sweet spot around 6, all others 5, bright switch off.

This is a clip of a Seagull A-6 made by Godin that I bought about a year ago. Nice sounding solid body acoustic electric. Basically straight into garage band with a touch of chorus.
