Well there it is, Season 8 Week 2 is in the books! Twenty-seven submits in week 2, and although not as hot as Week 1 of this season, nevertheless a number to be proud of (at least for the participants) ;~))

Shout out to returning participant @AminorZmajor last seen in Season 1! Thanks for hopping back on the Challenge Train ;~))

The Reigning Champ is showing no mercy and still in the lead with 7 entries this week! Paging David, Goliath on aisle 2!!
Here is a print screen of the spreadsheet for S8W2:

Looking forward to seeing >= numbers for week three ;~)) Remember to put your tags (#cover-song, #original-song, #hot-noodle or #collab) in your submission posts. It helps me to do checks on the number of submits. If you see any mistakes in the numbers, do let me know and I will correct as quickly as I can!

OK, now get to it! Make some noise girls and boys (or whatever it is you identify as)!!

How do you get that type of tone? I'm trying to make something with more sustain for something I'm working on.
I record DI into Reaper.

Then I re-amp the guitars into amps I have.

The rhythm are always run into my home-built JCM800

This pic was from when I installed a passive loop. This allows me to run the preamps I have into the JCM800 power section, while bypassing the stock preamp.


I have a Ceriatone AH-50 I built a while back for other "gainier" tones.

From the amp(s) I go into a home-built reactive load, based on Randall Aiken's designs.

Once signal goes from this device into my audio interface (Scarlett 2i2) and into my DAW (Reaper) I mix individual tracks to my taste.

I use Steven Slate drums 5.5 and I use a SansAmp bass preamp.


I use this on every track I recorded since last August.

Great stuff in here as always, Gentleman! :chef :cheers
Well I have clearly failed considering you have contributed NOTHING to Season 8! I guess you must not be a cat, so I will try howl next to see if that works ;~))

To La Szum: "Howoooo, you gonna to lay szum tracks here in this Challenge? Your banner depends on it!"

I am not confident it is going to work, but one good howl deserves another ;~))

Happy Year Of The Snake to you all (begins Jan 29th at the new moon 2:36am PT, currently in the last day of Year Of The Dragon)!

In all seriousness, thanks for the pat on the back ;~))
