Crispy Crux - MKIV tones (R1/R2/Lead)

[mrd]

Hey guys, a while ago I decided to come up with some kind of tune using all three of the MKIV's channels and my Les Paul. I can't remember how I mic'd it up, it was a while ago, but I think I used 2xSM57s in a 3-to-1 mic position on my Recto 4x12.

So, the tune itself is in two halves, in terms of tones used. The first half is R1 for the backing chords/arpeggios, and R2 for the lead sounds. The second half, I switch to R2 for the rhythm sounds and the lead channel for... um, lead sounds. I also used an Ibanez 5-string bass, direct in. Drums are EZDrummer. The song is mostly improvised, but I spent some time layering up the tracks to make it sound a bit more polished.

Damn, you guys are always a tough crowd. Does it suck that bad? :lol:

I'd appreciate any comments, good or bad! Give it a minute to get going, it doesn't exactly smack you in the face with pure awesomeness from the get-go. I thought it was pretty good for an improvised piece but hey... if it sucks, tell me!

I like the tones, but I'm biased towards Mark IVs. Otherwise, the piece is good...not compelling, but good.
