Kon-Tiki trialing the Echomatic VI: listen

A recollection featuring both guitars

Lovely Stornoway  Scottish traditional song done as a rock instrumental - respectfully, I hope.  Wanting to maximise the effect, I've played it in the key of 'Rock Instrumental' major! I felt there was a need for an intro, so hit the record button and did something!?

  • Version A (fuller backing, sort of 'mock bagpipes') - listen
  • Version B (no frills, standard backing & tweaked balance on verse 2)- listen

These are all one take recordings primarily for assessing the sound from various Strats. Currently some really small tweaks of the amp's tone controls are being assessed! It's a shame that Blackface knobs don't have finer-scale position markings.
