Deep Purple – Child In Time (Guitar Solo Cover) |
|
Behold, my guitar solo cover of one of my favorite Deep Purple songs of all times. It’s been haunting me for over a decade, but I finally got to do the cover. Don’t expect too much, it’s sloppy in few places, but hey, I’m not Ritchie Blackmore 🙂
Used my custom made guitar plugged into Native Instruments Komplete 6 audio interface. The guitar is equipped with DiMarzio FRED at the bridge and PAF Pro at neck position. It’s a very versatile combination that covers a lot of ground. At the front of the VST effect chained I used Rangebastard treble booster which is modeled after Dallas Rangemaster. Amp model is LePou HyBrit (Marshall Plexi/JCM800) set on MCJ (JCM) channel. I used some EQ after the amp to scoop out the mids and slightly boost the bass to get closer to Gibson ES335 that Blackmore used on this track. There’s a little reverb added from Amplitube 3 pedal (don’t remember the exact name). At the end of the chain are Vintage Marshall G12M25 Basketwave cab impulses, one mic’d with Shure SM57 and the other with Royer R121. I blended the two to get the tone I liked. Note that for clean part at the end I didn’t change channels or anything, just switched to the two outer coils wired in parallel. It brings down the volume just enough to clean up the sound.

Boss BE-5: Digital Delay and Chorus Test Into A Clean Amp |
|
Testing Digital Delay and Chorus effects on Boss BE-5. These feature circuits very similar to early DD-3 and CE-2 respectively. Delay is very clean, natural sounding without being sterile and artificial. Early DD-3 are highly praised for their warm sound. Chorus is based on Panasonic BBD chips (MN3007 and MN3102) and offers little control (Rate and Depth) but works pretty well. It can add dimension to clean sounds or thicken high gain riffs. In this test I tried both effects separately and also combined for huge clean sound.
I used my Bancika MK1 guitar with Dimarzio PAF Pro in the neck position. Guitar: Bancika MK1 |
