+1...Bass player might need a bigger amp though.... were you using your fender hot rod and the blackstar pedal..?.your guitar really cuts through the mix and did you get a name for the band yet..?..good stuff......
Cheers guys! Yes i was using the blackstar but it was through my drummers mg mashall 15. (transporting a pedaltrain pro hardcase &fender case is a lot for a vauhall corsa without a 4 speaker fender hot rod). I cant get the tones i like out the marshall but the blackstar really does make a naff amp sound better quality. That video was taken towards the end of the practice (so without really agnologing it my volume has creeped up) and my bassist needed to do the same. Im getting pretty good at getting the volumes(and settings) Of my gear working well with the rest of the band, and am glad i cut through the mix. Oh & as far as band names go for now were: 'honest mistake' thanks again Ollie
Really great to see a group of young musicians playing at that skill level - when I was playing with my mates at 14 years old it took all of our efforts just to lay down a ropey 12 bar blues.
Keep it up Ollie - that's quality stuff and ask your bassist to crank it up a bit - I want to hear more and so does the public - are you gigging yet? If not - you need to do it - it is the best feeling when you get up on that stage. Once you've done it - you will always want more
btw - that Blackstar pedal is sweet - which one is it?
The key to getting a good tone out of it is using all the knobs but the gain. I find that I can leave it just over half gain and adjust the ISF (Warm Tubey sounds to really controlled dist) and mostly the volume. Adjusting the presence of the pedal is really effective.
We've had many opportunities to perform in school assemblies (performing arts school, were like the serious band in the school so they love us) but we don't want to perform without vocals. They're plenty of Girls who could sing, but I've been a band before with a female singer and we've all decided we want a guy to sing.
