Forgotten tracks of mine..

I have a few that have never seen the light of day..Tunes I
never posted on SoundCloud or anywhere else. This one is an
acoustic number...Which I don't think is too terrible...Until
the harmonica comes in...Then it kind of goes south
quick...Distortion, and poor use of punch in tech on my part,
but it was 4 track cassette and I though the harp would negate
the guitar track I punched in on.....
Anyway...

And here's a cover of a Neil Young song I did. While generally,
it's serviceable I guess. But it is such an iconic tune of his,
I just figured it was heresy to even post it anywhere. Shows how
little I think of you guys that I'd subject you to it......
;D...Kidding fellas..
Feel free to slag me on both of these...I deserve it.

Well thanks! I think I should have faded out GFK before the harp
business....What about the production on RITFW surprised you
though?

Both tracks sounded professionally produced.

That's a helluva compliment Buck....Just 4 track cassette, 8
channel board...A Furman spring reverb, Furman LC-3
compressor.,Shure 57 and AT-Pro3 mics. Fender Super Reverb Amp,
Boss Heavy Metal pedal, and Scholz Rockman....Oh and a cheap
Yamaha acoustic, '75 LP Custom, '81 Fender Strat, and a '67
Kalamazoo Bass. Roland 505 drum machine...Tapped in real time.

Yep....Sold it a few years ago. Bought it when it first came out
and wasn't that impressed at the time...But it grew on me.
The ME-50 I have now has a MT-2 setting that is right about the
same tone.
I sold the pedal for $35 more than I paid for it.

That's odd. The Heavy Metal and Metal Zone pedals aren't the
most well received pedals.

I think nostalgia plays a part in a lot of the demand for older
gear Buck. Four or five years ago when I sold so much stuff off,
I was startled at how much people were willing to pay for some
of it...and disappointed at how little some of it was worth.
All my Ibanez, Boss, and MXR pedals went for more than I
originally paid for them. I had an old Gibson Maestro FZ-!,
vaunted for it's purported use in the Stones "Satisfaction"...I
paid $15 for it, well used. Never liked it at all...Just
couldn't find a point of tone I found appealing or useful. Put
it away...For 30 years! Drug it out when I was selling stuff
off. It didn't work anymore. Still, a guy in Europe kept bidding
on it and I ended up getting $225 for it, after I'd clearly said
that it did not work.
The Analog rack effects I had a;so brought good money, again,
more than I originally paid for them...But the Digital rack
effects? Hell, you can't give them away. So I still have a lot
of them...They all still work. i use the reverbs and delays if
I'm just plonking around into the amp.
Sometimes I just like making a lot of racket....I guess i should
record some of the racket some times...But I
just...Don't...Don't know why...
I really wish my 4 track still worked...I have hours of stuff on
four track tapes I never finished, never mixed down.
Hell I did a lot of recording on two tracks and bounced between
machines as well...But none of that except "Twilight" was really
worth listening to.

That’s the weird thing about guitar technology.
The local players all figured I liked weird guitars, effects,
and amps. Whenever I’d go to either of the local shops, my
buddies would point out the oddball things, but I like using
traditional gear like my Les Paul for untraditional sounds. You
already have a good sound with the basic LP and Vox/Marshall
configuration, so it’s up to the player to create new sounds
rather than the gear.
But I wouldn’t be anywhere without my Digitech RP-150. It’s
outdated, yet works and sounds fantastic. I’m not a fan of
clumping analog pedals together on a board.
