TUA Sound Snippet (09.05.2008)

I made an über-dirty sound sample of my metalcore distortion effect, the RAILhead Effects TUA (Total, Utter Annihilation) this morning, so I thought I'd share. This was recorded with my Les Paul, and I have its tone really thin because I wanted some nice twang on the open notes. I have the TUA set really nice and fat, with the Presence at 12 o'clock, the Bass around 3 o'clock, Mid around 12 o'clock, Treble around 2 o'clock, and Gain at just 2 o'clock. JUST 2 O'CLOCK! Here it is...

A Teaser Clip, Part II (08.05.2008)

Here's another teaser clip, this time showcasing the RAILhead Effects io Super-Distortion. This particular sample was recorded with my 88 Les Paul in the bridge pickup position, with the tone at about 50%. I start off playing clean so you can hear my amp, then I play the same progression with the io's Gain at 12 o'clock, then the same progression with Gain at 3 o'clock, and finally with the gain maxed-out. Fall in love with the bedroom-level feedback...

A Teaser Clip (08.02.2008)

While I finish up some behind-the-scenes preparations and recording, I thought I'd post a teaser clip of my Peach Custom Fuzz. This particular sample was recorded with my 88 Les Paul in the bridge pickup position, with the tone rolled all the way out.
