Textures - Laments of an Icarus (guitar cover)

Textures - Laments of an Icarus (guitar cover) Tube. Duration : 4.30 Mins.


Guitar cover of Textures - Laments of an Icarus from their Silhouettes album. ESP LTD SC607B (27in) Lundgren M7 in the bridge. No pickup in the neck, so there's just an empty cavity. Thinking of a Q-Tuner. Tone is from Revalver MKIII. Patch is uber simple. Stock tube screamer with tone up a little and a tiny amount of drive (0.2) into a tweaked regular 6505. Tweaks are simple: increased input voltage into first preamp stage, switched out the last poweramp tube for an EL34, and changed the power supply to 'ideal power supply'. This is all loaded up in Logic Pro 8 and I used Space Designer to load up a cab impulse instead of within Revalver itself. Impulse is Red Wirez Marshall 1960A G12M with SM57. I also stuck on a LPF filter to roll of the high-end shrillness. This is a free plugin called Elysia Niveau. Check it out, it sounds really nice. Video was recorded using my Macbook's iSight camera, and the framerate sucks so it makes it seem like audio and video are out of sync or misaligned. I uploaded the video with lossless audio rather than have YouTube re-encode lossy audio into even more lossy audio, which sounds terrible. The audio quality has still suffered quite badly in my opinion. Enjoy. :)
