Dirty Fuzz on My Swing...

Ok here's a little looper goodie. It's about my most intense undertaking so far. Let me see if I can recount my rig and recording technique for you gear heads.

First I saved a canned drum track. Next I played a bass line on a Fender Squier Deluxe Strat. I doubled it on Fender P Bass. Then I played the chords on the Strat.  All this is looped in Stereo through a 1984 Fender Champ II and a 1978 Fender Bassman. People ask me all the time what the answer is. It's always Fender. 

Next and this next is a few days later, I did not do all this at one sitting. I added a snare drum part played with brushes on the piccolo snare that Pop bought at a garage sale.  I then used the Strat and the 1968 Fender Bandmaster to play lead. The dirty guitar sound is a Boss Blues Driver and a Joyo Tuber screamer. Blues driver set pretty clean, the Tube Screamer dirty. Here is the result. It's recorded on my simple hand held Tascam.

There's some warts on the guitar playing. I am happy with how I build the drum track with a combination of canned sounds and some I played. My intention is to save this swing track and see how many different songs I can make out of it with different leads in different styles.
