Rhythmic head bobs ensue
cool version! is that a whammy pedal you are using for the guitar pitch shifting?
Thank you. It's an expression pedal on a Boss ME-70.
Killer tone on that guitar! The direction you went with is really cool, I like the beefier style.
These are nice recordings! You were able to recreate the sound from the original quite accurately with your bass! This submission has an intensity that would definitely accompany certain dreams well. This would fit a very edgy dreamscape. Keep up the good work!
Wouldn't exactly say that we had the theme in mind when deciding which song to cover, but glad you like it xD
Nice cover, still like that guitar sound !
