Electric Ride

Audacity, box, guitar, Kay, homemade

Some original riffing using a Kay student electric guitar through a Boss DS-1 distortion pedal, cigar box guitar through a Crybaby wah pedal, and a thrift store bass. The kick drum is just me slapping a mic and EQ-ing the highs out. It's all run straight into the PC sound card and recorded with Audacity - no amps. El cheapo all the way but a LOT of fun to tinker with!

Hey Robert and Shane - thank you for the kind words! Thanks to some things I've seen here on the Nation I've gotten really interested in both building instruments and in taking a lo-fi approach to recording. It's a BLAST!
