    Default Trying out my SX acoustic and Tele

    Did a quick and short improvised song this evening. I started out just playing some chords on the acoustic, then I felt I need to swing the tele, so there you go.

    2 tracks acoustic, 1 track tele rhytm and 1 tele lead. I went straight into the recording unit with the acoustic, and with the Tele I went through bad monkey and then into the recording unit. All line in, in other words. I added a bit of compression and reverb on each track. I think I shoulda turned up the lead guitar in the mix?

    Hey that sounded really good for amplification bypass. The acoustic has a pre-amp with tone controls I'm guessing? Sounds like you were able to pull a lot of mids out to get that jangly sound.

    Thanks friends. The acoustic has tone controls, but I set them all flat. The SX is a decent acoustic indeed for $159!

    Thats a mighty fine Tele tone you have on the lead part Robert! Nashville suddenly seemed to be very close to Camrose, Alberta
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    You are too kind! It's cool it's possible to get a decent lead tone by just using a Bad Monkey straight into the computer! I tell ya, those Virtual Vintage DiMarzio pups are fantastic. Now I am interested in trying the Area 58s for one of my Squiers.

    I didn't expect anything less from the..um..telemaster. Yup, I've got to agree with SS, I really liked that tele tone.
