A little bit of octave fuzz jam fun as we try out small band shows

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

Welcome to the show! A little departure for us… Regular viewers will know that we’re experimenting with demonstrating guitar sounds in a small band context. This video is a couple of jams from our preliminary tests. It’s not a complete video per se; moreover it's there just to see what you lovely people think and let us know if you want more of this stuff.
We appreciate that only a small percentage of guitar players actually play in bands -– we would dearly love to encourage more to do so – so we’ll take your lead!

Massive thanks to Dougie Mussard for being such a wonderful human and bashing the tubs for us.

How did we record this?
The drums are mic’d in the Glyn Johns method (using Neumann TLM102 as the overheads), plus an extra snare mic (Beyerdynamic M201) underneath. The bass is DI’d via an Ampeg SVT DI, the guitar cabs are mic’d as usual (Austrian Audio OC18), plus our stereo room mics (AKGC414XL). It’s spill city in the room in terms of the mics and we kinda love that.
Everything hits our UA Apollo interfaces for recording and I mixed it (Mick here) using Universal Audio Luna.

Erm, what happened to the Nobels? As all our regular viewers will know, it’s //always// a cable. And it was. So no Nobels. And it wasn’t turned on anyway. Doh.

Enjoy the video!
