Title: "The Get Up Sandwich"
Post by: Blooby on March 03, 2023, 05:23:18 PM

The outer buns of this instrumental burger started as a potential vocal tune that John and I kicked around. Perhaps, we'll resurrect it, but in the meantime, I was having fun with a Tonex pedal (about half of this has the pedal on it). The burger portion was something where I was futzing with a Boss SY-200. Not sure they go together, but it's a bit of a journey at least.

Peace.

Nice 'n funky little number - it sounds like a vocal will fit right in the funky parts. And totally digging that burger portion, btw.

Off-the-charts playing, and very well put together.

funky and king cool... and then that Frank Zappa lead kicks in (ok, pick others as well but the comp does fit there)...

love the bass and percussion as well.

It sounds a bit like Eric Johnson style in spots... I love stuff like this... very creative and lots of directions...
as always i add your stuff to my thumb drive for later listening whilst traversing about.

I think the effects you are using sound amazing

Funky goodness, and some slick chords.
Cool atmospherics injected in there also.
Great synth, drum, and guitar parts, melded together well.
Love the composition and production.

That Tonex pedal sounds great! Did you use it for the bass also?

That part where the cosmos started calling felt like a combination of late 70's cartoons and prog-rock album art. I was half-expecting for a professor to pop out and tell me about something important. Like the mating habits of toenail snails.

That funky drumming did a thing for me too. In the end i walked with the notion that you guys know how to play!

This is awesome. Loved the burger part, it had a little electro cheese as well. The buns though, contained a very wholesome and staple Bloob punch that makes the whole arrangement worth "eating".

Great tune!

I used the "classic bass" patch on my Eleven Rack. I have used the Tonex for bass, but I need to tweak a bit more. I have yet to plug into the community where there are 1,000's of uploaded amp captures. I am certain I will find some great stuff eventually, but I just need some time. For now, I am having fun with tweaking some presets.

Many reviews said it took folks to start downloading before they got fully onboard so I am looking forward to what is out there. I know there are multiple captures of Joe Bonomassa's Dumbles, and I heard a few great Vox and Fender tones. I don't care too much about the high gain stuff except for the odd tune or solo.

I got an HX Stomp to have a crack at the Helix tones, and I ended up returning it. That is no slight on the unit, but I didn't feel that it moved things forward for me vs. the cost. I feel differently about this unit, and I am just scratching the surface.

Of course, I drink too much and am considered insane in polite circles.

Thank you sincerely for listening to the tune.

Fantastic funky track with excellent guitar tones and I love the way the bass & kit are locked in together. Those guitar solos are astounding. Brilliant playing and so many styles/influences here.

Oh wow I love this!  It's a journey all right but a really scenic one - I don't even want to get to the beach.  Just keep driving....

Maybe it's just me but I get some Jeff beck vibes in places - which is no bad thing in my book.  Hold on - I'm going in again....
