Title: Cold Sweats do some laid-back proggy soloing (Blackmachine, Axe-FX content)
Post by: Nolly on August 21, 2009, 03:00:01 PM

Hi,

This is a short clip from one of my band Red Seas Fire's latest songs, called the The Recovery, featuring both the bridge and neck Cold Sweats in my Blackmachine B2 (bridge for the high-gain sounds, neck for everything else), running through a Fractal Audio Axe-FX Ultra guitar processor. The guitar has a chambered mahogany body with a thick quilt maple top, a rosewood neck, and an ebony fretboard.
The clip can be heard here:

If you like the music, our myspace is here: www.myspace.com/redseasfire. Keep checking back because we'll have new tracks up soon!

Cheers!

I like it alot, reminds me of Vai.  The clean tone at the start was gorgeous.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!
HTH, Vai was one of my biggest influences when I started learning to play lead, and still is to this day, so that doesn't surprise me!

Do you have the humbucker split for the majority? It sounds twangy which ive never heard on a BM.

The solo is with the coil-split, yeah. Still sounds fairly woody with the pickup in humbucking mode, the tone I have dialled in for that bit seems to be the cause.
