Saxon, Broken Heroes

Not Posted here for a while, sold my RP250 as I was having tech difficulties with the USB on it and getting a glitch free recording.

So I Actually used the Pod X3 for all guitars on this cover (had the podX3 about one year and love it). Got my mate to sing it, he did a great job on a challenging toon.

If any of you can offer advice on the drums I would appreciate it. I made the BT from a guitarpro file and used EZ drummer on drums and added some compression to them.

Not one of my best projects this one but fairly happy with end result. I always start off covering songs enjoying the tune then bloody well hating it by the end of it... :roll: ah well, here it is,,.,

    Hey Mark never heard this tune? Sounded excellent to me! I think your buddy did a fine job on vocals! Did you play all guitars in this? I realy liked the lead comming in torwards the end!! How do you like this Modeler Tone wise to the Digitech Stuff? I mean to me on this end I did not hear a whole lot of difference Tone/quality wise? You always do a great job & this was no different! Just wondering? Take care Mark! :D

    Damn, I can't listen here at work. I'll check it out when I get home. It's a great song, and a lot of fun to play. When I played this in a band, I used to kick the reverb on for the lead break and outro.

    Partchie, this song is a classic. It's a must have for any guitarist. It's all guitars.

    thanks Partch.
    I love the Pod X3 i have the Pod Bean model. I miss my GNX3000 at times for the Whammy etc. The Pod X3 is fairly limited in the effects dept. I loved some of the tones in the RP250 but I just found the USB glitchy on that for some reason. With the Pod I can hook up to PC and record with no issues.
    I am kind of gassing for the Boss Gt10 at the moment to go with my Pod X3 bean.
    Ideally I would like to wait for the next reincarnation of the Digitech series (GNX4K) or otherwise.
    Anyways thanks for listening mate. :lol:

    Cool version. I really like it. You did the classic song justice.

    Going from the verse to the chorus, on the Csus to D, Let the C5 ring and add the D and G.

    You'll like the sound of it. Just punch in the additional notes into your existing track. Also see if you like the sound of the ending lead by duplicating the track (if on PC) and adding reverb on one of the tracks to give it a much fuller sound, like the original.

    Were you using a backing track? If so, I'd love to have it. It's a fun song to play.

    thx for the listen and that advice mate, I will try that, I agree soem more reverb on outro solo will be fun to do.

    Here is a link to the BT I created...
