Show File Podcast – S01E02 – Guitars – Show Notes – A Work In Progress

Where Do We Start

Listen through track

Find guitar parts

OF w/ switcher pedal to demo both sounds

Amp + pedals
Pedals is a fun rabbit hole
- Lots of options for really unique FX
Each thing in this setup makes a massive difference to the sound so is super importnat
- Oscars guitar basics signal flo
  - Guitar, gain staging fx, modulation, space, amp
These sounds won’t always be the same every time
Have to mic up an amp!
Analog is better for unique tones
It will always be in mono unless you run 2 amps
- super expensive scalability

multi FX units with amp modelling
- cab IR
  - flip through while playing
- amp simulations
- FX simulations
- guitar straight in, balanced stereo out
more flexibility for sound design
- Compare notes on making this sound
  - Quad immediate
  - HX Stomp the sounds we wanted weren’t called what we expected
can still integrate in to a analog setup
very tourable, HX stomp is just that little tiny pedal.
can control with MIDI which is super useful
consistent gains, will be the same every night

Neither is right, all about the type of show.

There’s a full show of guitar parts to play
Probably adding solo sections
When are you playing what parts?
- Choosing track vs. played kinda like BVs with LVs
- What can actually recreate live
  - Partly defined by tech on stage, partly production vs. playing

You’re recreating other musical parts with super cool guitar patches
- Pad Sound
- String Sound
- Lead Synth Sound
Guitar in electronic music, where does it fit?
- creative constraints
  - Bringing vibe to show rather than totally accurate
Oscar gets out the radio pedal and does weird shit
- Guitar changes
- Cranked amp on stage
  - Gonna be a nightmare for stage sound
