From nice to spice in one setting.
In today’s video we're exploring Buffalo Days and War Party by keeping settings the same but achieving different tonalities simply by adjusting our playing dynamics.
Phasing out bad tone.
You can only create to the degree that you’re inspired and bland guitar tone does little to help get the creative juices flowing. So what’s the answer? Well, with a little help form Makoyii and Midnight we can turn our humble bypass tone into a swirling, harmonically rich, fire breathing monster.
From growl to prowl.
We’re always on the hunt for tone. It’s an endless search for the right sound at the right time. Nothing ever seems to satisfy our natural tonal instincts which usually leaves us in an endless pursuit of always chasing the dream. Today, we’re here to challenge you to think differently. Like a wolf on the prowl, the Makoyii Overdrive/Distortion is ready attack. Dynamics are key when on the hunt for tone and like the wolf striking its prey, Makoyii’s dirt tone is quick to bite.
Home on the range.
There are a lot of places that our pedals can take us. From reverberated echoes to disastrous fuzz, pedals have a pretty cool way of helping us express our music. No matter how far pedals take our tone, each one always seems to find its home with a specific sound. For Kiaayo, it’s about the smooth, tight crunch that walks the edge of breakup with its color and dynamic range. Today, we’re exploring Kiaayo’s home on the range (gain range that is).
Crunch Warp.
We’re getting crunchy once again as we continue our crunch talk from last week. However, we’re going to approach this discussion from a different angle by pairing our Kiaayo Overdrive and Aakii Chorus/Vibrato. For the times where you might want to get a little kooky and live life on crispy edge, we’ll share insight on how to obtain some wild yet killer tones. Fair warning though, it’s dirty, mean, warbly, and unclean.
Subtly sweet.
Dim the lights, lower the gain, and dial back the crunch. We’re going to keep things simple this week with Kiaayo and Buffalo days. We’ll have a small taste of Kiaayo’s crunch and top it off with a little space created from Buffalo Days. You’ll notice little bit of chording and we might throw in a lick or two in, but we hope to capture the subtle yet sweet dynamics of both Kiaayo and Buffalo Days.
War Pony.
We’re releasing a small herd of War Pony out into the wild that will be available for today only at NativeAudio.com. War Pony is an overdrive and distortion, delivering tone that’s aggressive, wild, and designed for battling a range of tonal situations. Originating from our War Party, War Pony completely removes all boundaries when it comes to NativeAudio design.
Mix it up a bit.
Today, we’re going talk about Aakii’s ability to texture your modulation using the mix control. We’ll be having Makoyii join us in the action.
From jangle to mangle.
Experience the thrilling journey from jangly sparkle to wild distortion as we explore the versatile range of the Makoyii Overdrive/Distortion pedal—a roller coaster of dirt tone that takes you from calm and bright jangles to punchy crunch and finally to the edge of fuzz, where the lows rumble and the highs scream with intense saturation and sustained fuzziness.
Bring the spring.
We dive into the spring mode of Ghost Ridge and discover how you can effortlessly achieve that sought-after 60's spring reverb tone without the hassle of carrying heavy equipment. Plus, we add a touch of minty goodness with the Mint Drive for some extra flavor.
