Clean sounds. Straight into the amp visible, aimed roughly at the dust cover, so it's a bit brighter than usual (combined with the fact the mic has a little upward tilt). I could do some OD if you guys want but I am a cleans person.

Explored most basic tone options the guitar offers, except for splitting and series/parallel the bridge pickup. To be honest the difference isn't that pronounced and the guitar could probably stand to have that feature removed. I quite like the split to the pickup further away from the bridge though...

Apologies about some fret buzz - has everything to do with my terrible playing. This is my first electric guitar and I have only played acoustic for something like 9 months. Also apologies about the very fattening attire, but I am in holidays mode (feel free to see the portishead video if you dont believe me that it's all in the clothes haha)

First time recording an electric amp too (only had the amp for two days actually!)

Feel free to browse my youtube channel too, theres some unlisted radiohead stuff but I took that down because of embarrassingly bad vocals. I am a multi-instrumentalist, not a guitarist :)

"No suprises" about the songs I play briefly most likely (not much of a fan of electric guitar oddly).

Top notch dude. You really nailed those strange rolled off middy Radiohead tones. Nice amp too. :)

Sounds great man. I still love your custom headstock.

Nice amp too. Great pick for a first amp.

Talk about a twilight zone moment, I was literally just listening to "Weird Fishes", I jump on here for a bit of a nosey and here's the bro playing it!
Wow you've certainly got a plethora of tonal options at hand with this axe man, sounds great!

BTW that SC link is dead.

Weird Fishes is a rad song to play on a looper!

I bet it is. Always sounds a bit empty with just one guitar.

Man, that's got a lot of colour to it. Sounds like you can get anything you want out of it. And what's not to love about Vox?
