Quick Bugera V22 Demo

A few folks have asked for a demo of my amp, so here it is. This was just something I knocked together in ten minutes this morning - first a quick improv over a looped chord progression, then some dirty blues. My apologies in advance for the terrible playing.

I've never actually recorded an amp with a mic before - so it was a learning experience. The mic was a Behringer XM8500 (at the edge of the speaker cone), recorded straight into a Line6 UX1 and onwards to Cubase Essential. The clean demo has no layering, just one track in realtime. The second demo has three unedited tracks played over a drum sequence.

Clean Demo
A short clean demo of the Bugera V22 amp. The guitar is a PRS SE Custom Trem played through a Line6 M13 effects unit. The Line6 unit was only used for the looper facility. The reverb is from the V22 itself.

Dirty Blues
Just a quick improvised noodle to demo more rhythmic type work on the dirt channel. Gain is set just under halfway for the two rhythm tracks panned left (bridge pickup) and right (neck pickup). The lead track in the middle has the gain all the way up. No post- recording fiddling was done, the delay on the lead track came via the Line6 M13 which was set up on the amp using the four cable method. So this particular delay ran through the amp's fx loop. Drums by EZDrummer.

Heavy
Does the Bugera like pedals? Here's a very quick demo of a heavy patch from the Line6 M13. This is the Line6 Distortion model no other effects in use. The amp EQ is pretty flat, just tweaked on the effect itself and the guitar tone rolled off a little. There's a brief widdle with the Throaty Wah patch at the end. The recording came out a little bassier than it was in person. Clearly I'm not quite ready to produce a multi-platinum album.

    Cheers mate.

    As you can see, your comment did work. I just had to okay it before it appeared.

    I have moderation switched on due to the levels of spam I get.
