Practical (kind of) Jawari clips

[Cabezahead]

So - here's some clips of me and my drummer jammin at my house...  It's all improv ridiculosity, but they're pretty good examples of how I use my Jawari. (though i've yet to play a show with one.)  These clips can be grating on the ears.  I dig. You're mileage may vary.

Interesting stuff with a sparkleboost->Jawari->808  ... I really like the weird harmonies that this thing just randomly makes on intervals... Make sure you make it to at least 1:44 to hear it do a real cool heavy thing.

Jawari jazz. :-)  The jawari gets kicked in at about 1:05 and off at about 1:55.
Not jawari related - but dig the walking bassline/hiphop drum break at about 2:00 minutes.  That freaked us out.

My rig for this was a koa wood Carvin SC90 -> my eight-loop beastamabob -> my Ampeg V-4 -> Madsound cabinet.

In the looper at the time was a Crybaby 535q, Sparkleboost, Jawari, Tubescreamer,  Miniboost, Korm PME40x (with analog delay, flanger and chorus)

Lemme know whatcha think.

The recording was a Shure KSM 23 and a crappy fender mic in the bass drum.  (We thought we'd get a cool sound out of it - but it just makes the whole. recording muddy because it wasn't isolated well enough.)  Those go into a Mackie mixer into an iMac through an 1/8th - RCA cable.

wow that's messed up. i need to get my order of 1N34As!!!   :shock:

does the jawari has a clean sound that resembles an actual sitar? these sounds are surely crazy, but not very sitaresque... if possible, post a clip of jawari at its fullest sitarity

wow, I just made these new sitar words, someone should build a pedal after them  

[Cabezahead]

There's some pretty good clips of the sitar at maximum sitarity at the site with the schematic... I think there's one at GGG, too.  I've heard it gets its peak sitarity through single coils - and my strat's going through some work right now.

One thing I will say - with my Jawari at least - is that there's a big volume drop with just the Jawari alone.  I think If I were to rebuild it - I would put a small clean boost after it and use it as the Jawari's volume control.

As it is - I couldn't do the sitar sound with a full band (not even a crazy ass drummer. :-) )

The clips are awesome!!  Sounds like you were having fun.

I love how you were playing with the intervals and getting the funny harmonics. That is fun to play with and I love using octave boxes and etc to do similar things. You really have a nice tone in your rig too.

So intense... and awesome!  :wink:

I started to listen to this the other day, but it's a long sample on dial up, so I'll go ahead and download it tonight before bed. Doug knows "good" when he hears it so, it'll be worth the wait.

Really nice music.

[Cabezahead]

Wow.  Didn't see these replies!  Thanks a bunch guys!  We definitely have fun when we get together.  The drummer is a guy I was in a band with all through high-school and we played together all the time.  Now i'm in college in Chicago and he's in New Orleans - so the rare chances we can get together these days it's a real exciting electric kind of feeling.  Four years of chemistry rushing back. :-)

And of course - such disasterous noise could not have been made without the help of this place.  Truly, truly the best, most helpful forum i've seen on all of the 'net.

Thanks again! Glad you enjoy.
