I kinda abused Yoshimi this time around, hope I did a good work with all the synths... :mrgreen: Thanks for making it so easy to use in Ardour!
Well, your performance was so interesting that I didn't initially recognise that Yoshimi was providing support - on listening back I can recongnise it now :)

These days, although I'm sort-of in the driving seat, there are several really good developers managing the more complex stuff.

The synth was rendered using the "Trem Preset" from the "Will Godfrey Collection", and I love it too!

The Fender model you see is an HSS, which means the pickups are Humbucker-Single coil-Single coil, and yep, mine has a Floyd Rose too. The Humbucker makes it more suited for metal, and in fact IIRC Dave Murray from Iron Maiden has a signature guitar like this. I'd still love to get my hands on a "standard" one sooner or later, though, as the HSS is not strictly speaking "traditional".

Thanks for listening!

Thanks! The moment I found that looping synthwave background I knew I would have to use it somehow :mrgreen: I was also inspired by some of the videos Night Flight Orchestra do for their songs (like "This Time"), a band that is making amazing 80's rock albums TODAY!
