MXR Wylde OD soundclip

[Marcos - Munky]

Here's something I recorded last night. This is the intro riff from Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Gimme Three Steps". I didn't rearnt how to play it note by note, it's just to show the sound of the overdrive alone. The setup is simple, guitar->od->condor cab sim->soundcard, and it was recorded using Kristal freeware.

  SSounds great Marty!
  Nice job on the guitar parts !
  My ZW is sitting on the shelf, torn down but ready for re-working, I wasn't getting output, added a Jfet there, wasn't doing like it did without the output boosted...sounded great but just couldn't 'keep up' in the mix, volume drop was a problem, then when that was overcome, the tone wasn't 'par'...
  OT Ramble...just that this reminded me of..
  I picked up 'Pronounced', about a week after it made airplay. I pretty much wore the album out picking out guitar parts and learning them, a great album for that. I could lift the phono needle with the auto lift, bump the turntable ,1,2,3,4 vynil grooves, and be at the beginning of a riff or portion.
  We took a diamond needle, high weight, and scraped it across a crummy but new album repeatedly for the 'zipper' sound, and to test if a clean, newish needle on a new clean 'plastic waffle' record scratches the record..Conclusion: Dust and Dirt [or worn needle] is what kills vynil tone, repeated attempts to scratch a record with a diamond needle, by numerous 'competitors', failed 100%, ie no difference in sound whatsoever after massive 'abuse' by a new needle. Rhetoric for sure, but that was the way I found to get 'repeat section' from an album easily, and fairly accurate. Can't scratch the diamond, and that record I didn't care for. As unnatractive as the sound it produces makes, all the talk about damaging records was made moot by this test, we figured it's the dust scraping against the sleeves that gets the most damage, that and the needle scraping grits into the walls of the groove.
  I had a CD player for about 5 years before I realized that holding down the < or > buttons was Fast Reverse and Fast Foreward!
