Voxy Lady May 17, 2009

So a little while back, I decided to blow money for no good reason on a little practice amp. My reasoning behind this was that if I ever wanted to, I don’t know, play guitar somewhere besides in front of my computer, a practice amp would be a nice thing to have. Little did I know that practice amps have come a long fucking way – I picked up an amazing little 15w Vox that has an absurd amount of settings. I loooooove Vox, even though Brian May through plays one and, as we all know, Queen is responsible for cancer.
Anyway, turns out this little thing can crank out a great, fuzzy rock tone. To inaugurate Voxy into the family, I decided to put all that stoner rock and metal I’ve been listening recently to good use. This one is loud and, unbelievably, sloppier than usual, but it was a fucking riot to play. The guitars in the extreme left and right are through the Vox with no other manipulation (besides compression on the mastering channel) – there’s a bit at the two-thirds mark where they have a nice, warm, tubey “American Woman” sound. The middle guitar is going through my usual attention-deficit “Hey, I wonder what this plug-in does?” chain of wonky effects. Anyway, I dig it.
