Raga Brindavani Sarang on Acoustic Guitar (Guitarisma with Indian Ragas)

Author: admin  //  Category: acoustic guitar preamp

This is the second video from the newly started series “Guitarisma with Indian Ragas/ Indian Classical Music”.

Raga Brindavani Sarang played on Acoustic guitar by me. This particular Raag sounds like Rajasthani folk music !

The first part of the video is just a quick warm round to check the tone of the amp. BTW the guitar has a very sweet sustain.

The guitar is made by Peal Guitars (South Korean firm) and has solid Sitka spruce top with Flamed Maple Back and Sides (Very Beautiful).

The sound is so pleasing because the guitar is equipped with ARTEC preamp which has para-eq, undersaddle pickup, and built in condenser Microphone + icing on the cake is L.R.Baggs M1. The amp used is Laney A1.

I’m also using Electronic Tabla ‘digi 60s’ made by Radel, India and Electronic tanpura by Raagini.

Do leave your comments!

Eleanor Rigby (Acoustic Guitar)

Author: admin  //  Category: acoustic guitar preamp

This is an acoustic guitar version of the Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby” performed with the aid of a Boomerang phrase looper. I’ve never been big on improvisation, but I have a lot of fun jamming to my looper pedal and thought it was about time I uploaded a tune using it. I’m sure I could have composed a much better solo, but I guess it’ll pass.

The guitar is a Taylor 314ce, and I’m using the pickups alone without a mic, going through a Boss AD-5 preamp. Standard tuning but down a half step.

Shadow Nanoflex SH NFX-EP-A Pickup

Author: admin  //  Category: acoustic guitar preamp

Peter Autschbach demonstrates Shadow’s unique pickup technology Nanoflex.

SH NFX EP-A is a permanent mount endpin preamp system with Nanoflex undersaddle pickup for acoustic guitar. The battery is mounted in a pouch to the instruments side or bottom.

Nanoflex pickups do not only take the vibrations of the strings like common undersaddle pickups. Nanoflex senses the vibrations of the strings AND the body of the instrument simultaneously. No other pickup technology gives you this high level of sound reproduction.

Due to active amplification directly at the pickup and 100% shielding of the entire system, no sound will be lost and no hum created.

The EP-A preamp is trimmed to the acoustic guitar and bronze strings with sweet trebles and punchy bass. The output volume is adjusted for picking and strumming.

Peeling the Reality Onion

Author: admin  //  Category: acoustic guitar preamp

This video looks tremendously better if click on the “high quality” tab beneath the video.

This is another tune that will be recorded on my upcoming all acoustic guitar CD which will be finished sometime this year. The title is based on the ending to CS Lewis’ book: The Last Battle.

Guitar Talk:

I played this on my Taylor 314CE just using the pickups alone for convenience sake. This is my live setup. The guitar signal first goes through a Boomerang phrase looper before passing through a Boss AD-5 acoustic guitar preamp and then into the mixer. I have a DBX 160XT compressor in the AD-5 effects loop and an old 1st generation Alesis Microverb in one of the mixer’s effects sends. In this case I’m not using the Boomerang. No, it doesn’t sound exactly like a mic’ed guitar, but it’s not bad and is certainly good enough for live use and YouTube videos.

For those interested–I’m self taught and play by ear. I also tune down a half step and all videos you see on my channel are in standard tuning (well…except for being down a half step) unless otherwise stated.

Rode NT1a Recording “Let It Burn” by Matt Lamb – Acoustic Guitar and Vocal

Author: admin  //  Category: acoustic guitar preamp

Visit: http://alliedindies.com for more videos!
The Rode NT1a is used with a Tascam US122 to record this acoustic song. I wrote about what I think the Spirits of the Native American Chiefs might have thought as they looked down from the great Cliffs and witnessed the Riots in LA.

I record usually with the mic recording ambient guitar and vocals but mix the guitar in on a line through the Fishman preamp on the guitar. I record clean then mix in a little reverb, compression, minor equalization and that is it.

I love the Rode NT1a, it’s like it needs no fuss, perfect if you are trying to do everything yourself as so many of us do these days. This condenser mic is very low maintenance and very durable but it does require phantom power and some sort of interface for use with computer recording. I used a Tascam US-122 and Sony Acid Pro Audio Editing Software.

The classic RODE NT1a offers the lowest self-noise on the market (5dBA). But still offers the warmth, extended dynamic range and clarity of much more expensive large-diaphragm condenser studio microphones.

The song is “Let It Burn” by the performer, Matt Lamb. (All Rights Reserved)

5 Watts Hughes&Kettner Metal Master solid state amp / tube preamp

Author: admin  //  Category: acoustic guitar preamp

http://visiondann.com – 5 Watts Hughes&Kettner Metal Master solid state amp / tube preamp is played thru the speaker only of modded Fender Acoustasonics 30.

A “Speaker IN” input is added to the Fender Amp, that bypasses the amp/preamp section of the Fender Amp and goes straight to the speaker only. Then I use the Hughes&Kettner Metal Master’s great preamp/distortion and power it with the built-in 5W solid state amp (using tge speaker only from the Fender amp). The result is just beautiful!

You can still play the Fender Acoustasonics with an acoustic guitar (as it is built for), or play it with external amp and an electric guitar as shown – thru the added “Speaker IN”!

Thanks for stopping by! And watch my other demo samples!

Best regards!
