Decided I’d upload what I call my “electric helldrive” setup, why not?
Decided I’d upload what I call my “electric helldrive” setup, why not?The guitar is a $40 acoustic made by a company called Rogue. I’ve rigged two stock Squire Stratocaster pickups underneath the strings, and wired them directly to the output jack (I.E. wired out of phase). Because the pickups aren’t wired to any kind of tone control (and because they’re open coil pickups) if find that the sound is pretty raw.Playing the guitar on a guitar amp wasn’t getting me the sound I wanted so I hooked it up to this old bass amp I had lying around and the sound was closer but not quite what I was looking for. I remembered Dave Davies of The Kinks sliced and poke holes in his amps speaker phone to get the sound he wanted for “Girl You Really Got Me”, so I just went ahead and carved up the amp a bit. Turned out a lot better than expected, and I reallllly dig the raw, fuzzy, fucked-up tone its giving me.This is what it sounds like. -- source link
