Quietly Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 First track recorded using the Talladega, the more I play this guitar the more I love it. The neck took some getting used to but now fits my hand like a well worn glove.Track one, both guitar tracks are played on the Talladega and finger picked.http://www.gerrycooper.com/songs

hamerhead Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 I've been listening to the stuff you sent me a couple weeks ago and it IS the perfect Sunday-morning-with-coffee music (it's actually playing right now). The new Tally tune is sweet. VERY well done. Thanks for posting that. And I'd gladly take anything else you'd like to send.

gorch Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Could someone please wake him up? He seems to be totally caught by his dream guitar.
Quietly Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 Could someone please wake him up? He seems to be totally caught by his dream guitar. You could be right I am a guitar freak and have no brand loyalty at all. Over the last three years I have owned and moved on a Tom Anderson Cobra S, Gretsch Country Club, Custom Strat, Gibson Limited Edition ES135 and lastly an LP Standard. Currently playing a Duesenberg TV Starplayer Outlaw and of course the Talladega. Tone is subjective and all the above guitars had their own distinctive one. The surprise out of them all is the Duesenberg which will twang and rock with the best with the bonus of a superb action. Now for pure build quality the Hamer wins hands down as I have always managed to find at least one flaw on a guitar and sometimes more but the Hamer is honestly flawless. Variety is the spice of life but I have the feeling both the Duesenberg and Hamer will be with me for some time. The only thing I could be tempted on is trading the Duesenberg for a Hamer Monaco 111 but that at the moment that is only a consideration or perhaps I should say it could be a temptation.
jisham Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 What amp are you using? The tone you're getting is incredible.

The only thing I could be tempted on is trading the Duesenberg for a Hamer Monaco 111 but that at the moment that is only a consideration or perhaps I should say it could be a temptation. I'd recommend trading the Duesenberg for a Hamer Monaco. Two flawless guitars are better than one.
Quietly Posted November 16, 2010 Author Posted November 16, 2010 What amp are you using? The tone you're getting is incredible. No amp I'm afraid this is straight into a PC. OK I go into a Vox Tonelab LE and twin cable out in to a Yamaha 01X (Mixing desk,Sound Card, Controller etc) No FX at all on the Vox. From the 01X I go straight into my DAW which is Cubase 5.5.2 and this is where I get the tone I'm looking for by using Native Instrument Guitar Rig 4. No amp, but some Tube Compression, Chorus/Flanger, Treble Booster, Parametric Equalizer, Shelving Equalizer and lastly a pinch of Slap Back Reverb. Once the track is recorded I will use Izotope Ozone 4. If anyone uses Guitar Rig 4 I am quite happy to send them the preset. Lastly I used the 2nd position neck and bridge in parallel on the backing track with tone knob on 8 also the volume. On the lead I used the 3rd position neck and bridge in series with the tone knob on 5 same volume setting. Right hand using the fingers rather than a pick. Hope that all makes some sense? What amp are you using? The tone you're getting is incredible. +1. It's beautiful. Thanks and I hope the above explains things. ...

Hmm I'm on the case even though my wife will most probably kill Irrespective of flaws the Duesenberg is a superb sounding instrument and you can hear it on "Lucia" and "Feeling Doosy" on my site. Having said that I am waiting for a shop in UK to get back to me on a possible deal as the transparent red Monaco 111 is giving me major GAS. I'll let you know what or when it happens.
jisham Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Makes all the sense in the world....thanks for the details.
