This is the product of another Harmony Central coverfest - a 70s one :) The vocals, bass, mixing and mastering were done by a user on Guitar Jam called Prages, awesome singer and he knows his way around cubase it would seem!

Guitar was my usual setup of Epi LP Custom into a Keeley Rat set for a light boost, then GH50L, G12H cab and SM57. Sounds quite good considering I'm still using onboard soundcard :) For the rhythms, one track is bridge pickup, the other is middle with the neck volume slightly rolled off. First solo is bridge, then the main one is neck. Made a few bum notes on the main solo but I'm quite pleased with it overall.

Oh yeah and the drums were programmed in Reaper with EZDrummer plugin - took bloody ages to do it all from scratch!

edit - mix has been updated with less reverb and more backing vocals at the end.

Rockin'! I actually love this song. But it does happen to be the only song I know by the Knack. One hit wonder is still a wonder.

Great tone on this tom and also nice playing.

Did you do the drums yourself?

They had another catchy song called Good Girls Dont. Other than that I dont know any of their stuff.

Transcend yeah I did the drums myself, programmed in Reaper and used EZDrummer as the vst instrument.

haha thanks, it is annoyingly catchy! I'm doing another Harmony Central coverfest soon, 80s this time so expect something cheesy like Bon Jovi or some Michael Jackson :P

That sounds like a really pro cover to me.

_tom_ · « **Reply #12 on:** July 04, 2008, 12:40:21 AM »

Thanks :) I made a few little mistakes in the solo which annoyed me but I'm too lazy and inconsistent to re-record :P

Great stuff Tom, very well played! :D

sounds great, makes me wanna get a keeley RAT now, it's always been my favourite overdirve/distortion pedal, it sounds so raw. Nice tone there Tom!
