I was messin' around with vibratone. One take, one track.

Like Dan said:

It don't matter where you've been
The people try to do you in
Every day till dawn
There's some thievin' goin' on

Oh, oh no
Hurt me so

Just the same old thing
Just the same old thing
No matter how much love you try to bring
Just the same old thing

You got a callous heart
From being torn apart
Now you labor every day
Love life drifts away

Oh, oh no
It hurts me so

Just the same old thing
Just the same old thing
No matter how much love you try to bring
Just the same old thing

Sounds real nice HW. :D

What settings are you using for that if you don't mind my asking? i like that it sounds nice and full but you can still hear the tone of the guitar and amp through it.

Thanks. I honestly don't remember. As I posted in another thread, lately I've been just messing around with settings right before I play and I don't even worry about saving them as a preset...I pick an amp model (one of the fender clean ones) and effects and use the 4-button switch on mode 3 like a "real amp" and turn off stomp, mod, etc. I'm trying to pretend I have a "real" amp with these pedals and experimenting.

I know this was 65 deluxe or princeton (or could have been 57 deluxe) and vibratone was only effect. Gain on amp probably down at 3 and reasonable EQ..I like mids up a little....and vibratone effects....since I don't know anything about anything, I just sort of use middling settings on all my effects...so nothing at 10. I think this is "slow" vibratone and most settings between 4 and 7 most likely.

Lately I've discovered that delay is nice and now my OCD bothers me. I can't decide if my clean tone should have some mod and delay....I realize now that the last 4 months I have been playing really really "dry" -- like basic 65 deluxe with gain way down to 2 or even 1.5...reverb at 2, and nothing else.....Use to think that was really nice (and I guess it is) but since discovering some other effects I'm liking it more "wet" and the plain amp model sounds really dry to me now.

Being a newbie I think I was not wrong to try the "plug straight in" approach preached by many old timers. Again, I always pretend I have a real twin or deluxe or whatever and a lot of time it is just plug straight in with a touch of reverb.

Do y'all use wetter clean tones with tremelo and/or delay? Now when I do my arppegiated chord stuff (not the above vid) it sound extra pretty to me with delay and mod...really *any* of mustang's options...I don't even care which one.

BTW the playing in the above vid SUCKS and I'm not fishing for compliments. That was done late at night when I knew my neighbors were sleeping...not only is amp volume way down but even my picking is affected in that situation....like really light picking. was messing around but I thought it sounded cool so I recorded it.

EDIT: by the way, the guitar was a 2011 American Standard Tele probably on the neck pickup....that certainly helps with tone. :wink:

Hi,
i think that Vibratone rate was at mid speed ... slow rotary speaker could be for example at 1 cycle per second or even more slower rotation.. at the end of your jam the modulation seems to do 2-3 cycles per second .. 2-3 Hz.. is a mid way between the min rate available and the max 5.67 Hz... and that range is probably to reflect the physical range of a real Leslie or Rotary speaker..
if you want a slower or faster rotation, as sometimes i need, could be used the Phaser effect.. (or a possible software enhancement in the Vibratone :) ) is not the same but it has a range of speed available much more extended... the same range of Chorus for example.
