The demo you've all been waiting for. Made this up on the spot on Saturday with my drummer.

it didn't record the effect that I wanted to, but when the switch is in the 4th position (assuming bridge is 5th) it has kind of a background, echoish, quack. it's very strange.

was trying to think of what punk band it reminded me of,stiff little fingers first album i think. the guitar sound i mean,not the riff,but it would fit in well.

I think I finally found my dream sound, though. 8)

And this is through that 86 Peavey I have. I wonder what kinda balls it would have if it were able to be used with a 4x12? :?:

Cool riff. I really liked the middle part. Consider making that the main riff and the simple part a bridge or chorus to let the singer/drummer open up. Would also sound cool to have the bassist follow you, then on the simple part drop an octave down and go halftime to really spread it out. Just Ideas because the riff got me excited. Do it however sounds best to you. :)

I'm working it out. i've got at least 4 in the works atm. it's not fun at all, fitting everything together. feel free to do your own interpretation of it, though I don't know any of what I'm playing (what the chords are called) i just know how to play it.

Cool riff man. I must agree that the tone has a punk feel to it, I can't quite place it.

Pretty good. It's the first time I've heard any sort of bottom end in your tone.
Reminds me a bit of the Damned maybe. Slow it down and you've got some early AC/DC (and you're a schoolboy too, right?)
Goodonya ...Mark.

There's no bottom end added.

Your past recordings sounded like bass and mid on 0, treble on 10. This one sounds much better. I don't know if it's the guitar, amp or whatever. Just saying.

That's it. That's what I'm hearing, it nearly has no bass.

Probably the pickup setting. If it's too bassy I'll have to change back. :P
