Audioslave Crawlers

[Ratrod]

Here are the first two clips I've recorded with my Crawler loaded Yamaha SG400. Amp is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe on a 2X12 cabinet. Mic is a Shure SM57 placed in front of the speaker cabinet and fed into a flat EQ mixing desk. Distortion is a Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor. Both clips are a bit bassy because I only miced the cab, I only had one of them at my disposal.

First song is Cochise with a backing track. I used the neck pickup all the way through the song. The helicopter/doppler/siren intro and fast delay in the first solo were done using a Danelectro Shift Daddy. For the breakdown part, I switched the Tube Factor to factor 1, all the rest is on factor 2.

I missed a note here and there, I'm not used to tap dancing on floor pedals. :?

You tell me, does it sound like Tom?

Here's the second clip. It's a fragment of What You Are. I used the bridge pickup on this one. First part factor 1, chorus on factor 2. Tuning is BADGBE. There's no backing track on this, Brad Wilk wouldn't come over.

Cool,nice work ratrod.Great tones!

[Ratrod]

Thanks Steve. I think I'll post some more of this pickup. I'm trying to find a song that will put both pickups through their paces. The definitive Crawler song.

I've been fooling around with that Darkness song. Sounds pretty cool. Don't know if I'm actually playing it right, it's just from memory.

I have a old ply bodied squier strat with 2 crawlers in it, and it sounds great.A really ballsy full sound with awesome sustain.
Im using it for the more blues/rock stuff in my band,and then switch back to the Nailbomb strat or the Cold Sweat Les Paul for the heavy stuff

[Johnny Mac]

You've got a nice groove there Ratrod 8)

[Ratrod]

Thanks Johnny. I gotta admit I've played it better though. It's that friggin' record button.

I know what you mean! I've just given up tonight cos of the bloody record button! :lol:

I've got all these echo's in cubase now and i haven't got a clue where to start diagnosing it. I need soemone to show me some cubase tips! i've been in the forums and they might as well be talking in Madarin for all the sence it makes!

It's as hot and sticky in London tonight. I think I'll get some cold beers and call it a day!

Great tones Ratrod. You guys are winning me over to HBs though I cant see me moving away from SCs though it is good to see whats occurring on the dark side.

[Ratrod]

I once thaught the only way to get a good clean sound from an electric guitar was the use of single coils or filter-trons. BKP proved me wrong.

[Steve-Mr Pig 2U]

Common Ratrod, I wanna hear those Rammstein tracks!!!

[Ratrod]

Where can I get some Rammstein backing tracks? Or should I just play some of it without backing tracks?

[chrisola]

Total Guitar do alot of good backing tracks, or www.licklibrary.com (have to pay for this)

What you could do is get Guitar Pro + crack it, get the tab for the song you want, export it to a Midi file (- the parts you will be playing) then you'll have a midi backing track at least...

[Ratrod]

I was thinking about getting a Tascam Guitar Trainer.

Where can I get some Rammstein backing tracks? Or should I just play some of it without backing tracks?

maybe try www.guitarbt.com ? I still cant decide wether I want Bareknuckles in my old strat copy I've just repainted or not I dont really know if I play it enough to justify it.. but these Crawlers sound pretty sweet  :twisted:
