Title: Blacksnake! HD content!
Post by: The Sorbz on June 23, 2012, 11:15:31 AM: Hi guys,

Just thought I'd post this on here as I recorded it to test out my new ampsim, Scuffham amps S-Gear. It is a classic rock song with time change and dynamic use of guitar volume control at the end to show how good S-Gear is. I used my Warmoth Soloist with HD set for every guitar part. Enjoy!

Anyone wanna do some Coverdale-esque vocals on it?

Cheers,
Jim

Main riffage has a C'mon and get it - Slide It in era feel about it (proper Snake) and the soloing is very Marsden too - lovely!

Funnily I was listening to the Snake on my iPod recently, the later couple of albums with Douglas Aldrich on them.

Cool tone though :)

It actually came about as I was recording another song. I had just put the S-Gear plugin on the guitar channel and started jamming, trying to get a good sound. The riff sounded cool so I recorded it into another project et voila!

Post by: FELINEGUITARS on June 26, 2012, 12:10:53 AM: I like what you've done - it's one of my favourite Snake flavoured demos of late

You'll probably enjoy this one if you like the new album
This is a demo of the Salvation Mods Camerock modification to the Randall MTS series modular preamps (which I use)

Enjoy....

They also have a step by step tour of the modules features if such things interest you
I kind of have GAS for one of these modules now

Here is the run-through
