Hello All!
Glad to see there is a board devoted to Don Cab...very good stuff....
Anyways I wanted to ask...in "From the Desk of Elswhere Go" what is Ian using to make those layered guitar sounds in the begining? It sounds totally random but then I can also hear some rhyme and reason to it...it also gets really "distorted" for some parts too...not a crunch distortion but loud enough to make the sound "peak"...I hope I am explaining this right....
There is a similar set of sounds in "If You've Read Dr. Adder Then You Know What I Want"...those really bizzare sounds...you can't mistake what I'm talking about....
Also in "The Peter Criss Jazz"...is that guitar as well? If so...how the heck do you get it to sounds dreamlike and keyboardish?
Are those some of the effects you can get from the Akai Headrush Pedal? I am fascinated with delays and looper pedals and looking to expand my collection....
Thanks for your time guys!
-Ian

Good question. I'm at a loss on Dr. Adder, I think a lot of the Peter Criss sound is from all the vibrato.

With regards to the first three Don Cab tomes, I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume that all of the crazy, wacky guitar stuff was played by Ian and that the conventional, straight up metal riffing was all played by... what was his name again?... oh yeah, Mark Binfield. Ian listens to metal and Mike has all sorts of avant garde influences. I love Ian, but a lot of people give him WAY too much credit. Early, pre-Ian Don Cab were so much more than just a metal band.
"Elsewhere Go" - Ian wasn't the only guitarist in the band at that point, and I don't believe the Headrush had been invented yet. WBNR was very much a "studio" album - a lot of the guitar effects may have been created by the mixing desk.
"Dr Adder," however, is all Ian.
Somebody said that the guitar sounds at the beginning of "Peter Criss" are Ian playing harmonics but sampling/looping them after the initial attack, so it's just the sustain of the harmonics.
Good luck!

This is one of my favorite posts on here hahaha Thank you kindly. I meant to say "oversimplification", not "stretch" but you know what I meant. Also I hope everyone understands that that was intended as a crack against the Ian worshippers and not against Banfield. No one is more excited to hear the new Knot Feeder album than I am. |
