I finished putting lead guitars on the two songs I still have going for April’s entry in the Record Every Month challenge. One song is terrible. The other is just weak.
Here is my “studio” for today. Note there are no Fender Stratocasters in sight.
How about a selfie or two? How lame am I?
This past Christmas I got a guitar input for iOS devices called an iRig. It is made for an amplifier simulation app called AmpliTude. The app is free but it’s super basic and there are in app purchases available everywhere.
I had heard of the app and new it was pretty good. What I didn’t know was that there are a bunch of different versions. You can simulate Hendrix’s set up, or Slash, although why you’d want to sound like him I’ll never guess.
One of the versions is supposed to simulate a Fender amp. I have a Fender amp but it is a heartbeat away from crumbling to little bits.
I used it back in the 90’s, including the three years Mike and Maria and I were called Prime Meridian. I installed the app and added on an overdrive pedal because I am a sucker and… Boom. I’ve got my old Prime Meridian tone back.
Maybe I’ll sneak a P.M. song into this year’s RPM as a bonus track. Do I have time?
