Title: Retrograde demo
Post by: gingataff on March 01, 2013, 02:51:45 AM
Hi,
I just did a demo of my Retrograde for the February monthly build contest and then realised that I finished my pedal at the end of January so I don't qualify.
Bummer!


Edit: seems like a do qualify after all Yippee!

Anyway, the pedal is in this thread

That's some nice thick fuzz! More full-bodied than I normally associate with Octavia type pedals. What was the guitar - amp - pickup combo?

Thanks for the comment.

The guitar was a stock Fender Eric Johnson strat in drop d and the 'amp' was a software simulator, Scuffham S-Gear. My favourite amp sim software by far.

I double tracked the guitars with the octave switch on and off, the latter is much thicker but they play well together. There's also a bass in there. I'm not sure about the retrograde as a bass fuzz but that could be my cheapo $10 bass ;D

For the solo section the rhythm has the octave switch off and both guitars have the fuzz rolled down to about half.

That's more info than you asked for but I guess I'm the excitable type.
