I seem to have done mostly soft acoustic kind of stuff lately (probably because while busking I've found I'm less likely to get asked to move that way!) and had a sudden urge to do something with lots of distortion!!
I made this Diddley Bow back in 2011. There are photos and details about it here http://www.cigarboxnation.com/photo/albums/didley-bow-with-bob-harrison-lone-star-pick-up
I'm using an Electro-Harmonix 22500 dual stereo looper, a Mooer Tender Octaver, and a Boss Overdrive/Distortion OS-2 with the drive and colour up full!
Recorded on a Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 8 inch Tablet with a Audio-Technica AT2020 mic going into it, via a Saramonic Smartrig.
The amp is a Fishman Loudbox MIni.
The Diddley Bow tuned to A (It has a normal A string from a guitar on it) made an octave lower with the octave pedal.
I edited the video in Cyberlink Power Director 13. I used the chromakey effect to remove some of the black, and used various backgrounds to show through...

ah right. Went to see this guy live and he's great. Asked him about his set up and he just used a Boss RC 3 I think it was, definitely just a single pedal. He put it all into a mixer first then into the pedal. He then had another mic for his main vocals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNMlgfi1u-E
It does have a mic Input. I need to work it in a bigger room ,my studio is really small so i get mic feedback.But I like running it all thu my Behringer mixer first whenever possible,because i get a bit more individual control
thanks Vinnie, Wow you've got an RC 300. Does that not have a mic input? Atm I'm using an Electro-Harmonix 22500. I like it as it has a mic and instrument input AND separate outputs for both. On the downside the buttons are quite close together so it easy to press two at once by accident!
thanks John, yeah I was messing around with effects : -)
Nice stuff...You put together some killer layers for a single string..What looper do you use?? I'm actually getting a vocal looper to got with my Boss RC 300 Loopstation ...This was just plain earth shattering,my dear....play on.
This is really a fun video. Nice visuals to go with the loops. There's nothing like a good polka.
ha, sounds like you're hooked with the ukes! Oh yes I remember your brain doesn't work well in the cold :-/ This musical journey never ends.....
I'm going to get the looper going, hopefully. I made one uke. Then I bought a cheap one on eBay to check the neck profile, then I bought a more expensive one on eBay because it was pretty ..... and I just bought a new decent one so I can tune the other to Low G........with a MiSi acoustic trio pickup fitted - very nice.
My excuse for not building another is that the garage is cold. I have all the bits for a solid electric uke on the bench. Then all I need is an acoustic amp. Where does it end ?
I do get on with uke tuning much better than standard CBG, though.
Digly, I guess all pedals are superfluous to needs really...I heard Wilko Johnson being interviewed recently. They asked him about pedals and he said "pedals? I'm playing guitar, not driving a car!" He sounds bloody excellent without...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIXP889rLBQ
Ah did the looping vid make sense?? I'd be interested to know if it help you get going. So how many ukes have you made?
thanks Dave : -)
