RichCI Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Okay, so I keep recommending a used Fender Champ for practice at home (good old American steel, hand wired, built like a tank) over buying one of those Chines made EL84 buzz bombs. Hey, the Blackhearts sound good but, for a little more money, you can get a super high quality amp that will go up in value over the years. So, I made a video. Please forgive the water stains on the ceiling (still after the landlord to fix that) and the lovely view up my nose. I stuck to playing just chords because, IMO, any amp can get a decent lead tone, it's getting a good rhythm tone that's tough. No making fun of my playing either! I just played this crap off the top of my head (except for the little homage to Jimmy Page at the end). http://www.richci.com/lpchampkot.wmv (around 10MB)
RichCI Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 My girlfriend said I look and sound drunk in the video... maybe because I am. I'm on vacation this week! Woo hoo!
surfpup Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Nice sounding Champ, Rich. Thanks for posting it. My Champ GAS groweth!
crossroadsnyc Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I'm not sure which I like more - putting a face to a name, or listening to the sweet sounds of your Champ (which I liked a bit more w/the pedal working). Good work, Rich!
Thundergod Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Good stuff... that amp sounds very good (what pedal are you using? I lost that info). You do sound drunk!
myspace.com/jessenoah Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 wonderful playing except for the part of the bridge Pup clean
AXE® Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I enjoyed staring at the ceiling! Better than your usual view... When biting the pillow....
Thundergod Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Better than your usual view... When biting the pillow.... hohohohoho
RichCI Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 Good stuff... that amp sounds very good (what pedal are you using? I lost that info). You do sound drunk! Analogman King of Tone http://www.analogman.com/kingtone.htm Except for the tiny bit of overdrive you heard from the amp when played clean, all the dirt from the pedal part was coming from the pedal.
RichCI Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 Better than your usual view... When biting the pillow.... Don't make me smack you, Beavis.
